If you’re thinking about having a Vermont fall wedding, you’re in the right place! Vermont is quickly becoming THE fall destination wedding location for so many couples! A Vermont fall wedding offers a unique charm that’s hard to beat, especially when the leaves start turning and the air gets crisp. Here are ten reasons why you should consider saying “I do” in this underrated New England state during the autumn season! 

01. Vermont’s Fall Foliage! 

Okay, I know this is a given, and it is the most important reason to consider a fall wedding here! Vermont is famous for its vibrant fall foliage, with mountains and valleys painted in shades of red, orange, and yellow. The natural backdrop adds a magical touch to your wedding photos that is unlike any other state! 

02. Comfortable Weather in New England

Have you ever been to a summer wedding where it was so hot that you had to bring blotting wipes because your makeup was literally melting off? Well, that’s something you won’t have to worry about with a Vermont fall wedding. The cool, crisp air is ideal for outdoor ceremonies and receptions, allowing your guests to stay comfortable and enjoy the day.

Plus, with the cooler temperatures, you have so many more styling options for your wedding day—you won’t have to sacrifice a long-sleeve wedding dress or a sharp black suit because of unbearable heat.

03. Vermont’s Charming Wedding Venues

Vermont has a wonderful variety of wedding venues to choose from! Whether it’s rustic barns, cozy inns, elegant estates, or charming vineyards, there’s a perfect spot for every type of wedding. Whether you’re planning a laid-back, intimate gathering or a big, joyful celebration, Vermont has the perfect venue for you.

And the best part? These places become even more beautiful in the fall, with the warm, vibrant colors of the season. Just imagine saying “I do” in a historic barn surrounded by golden trees, or celebrating in a vineyard where the autumn leaves create the perfect romantic atmosphere.

04. Fall Wedding Decor

Fall is all about those rich, warm colors and cozy vibes! Think pumpkins, gourds, and gorgeous autumn leaves—perfect for adding a natural, inviting touch to your wedding.

These seasonal details are so easy to work into your decor, creating that warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes everyone feel right at home. I love how Veronica and Derek went with a timeless blend of mums, and florals that complimented the fall foliage!

05. A Taste of Vermont

Are you the type who looks forward to pumpkin spice season all year? Vermont knows how to do it right! Vermont is famous for its amazing farm-to-table cuisine, and fall is the absolute best time to dig into those hearty, seasonal dishes. A fall wedding in Vermont cannot go without the crisp apple cider, maple-glazed goodies, and fresh harvest veggies – they will all have your guests raving.

06. Fall is a Romantic Season 

A fall wedding in Vermont is simply romantic. The soft, golden light and stunning natural landscape create a cozy, intimate atmosphere that makes your big day feel special and memorable.

07. The Perfect Intimate Setting 

Fall is a busy wedding season, but Vermont’s wide-open spaces help you avoid the crowds of other popular spots. You’ll enjoy more privacy and can often book your dream venue without the stress of competition.

08. Your Dreamy Fall Wedding Photos! 

The mix of stunning foliage, misty mornings, and rustic settings offers endless opportunities for amazing wedding photos. Whether it’s a covered bridge or a mountain backdrop, your pictures will be truly unforgettable.

09. The Price Tag

Who doesn’t love saving money?!? Since you’re not tying the knot during peak wedding season, you’ll probably avoid those peak wedding prices.

Plus, as summer tourism winds down, travel and accommodation costs in Vermont drop in the fall. This makes it easier for your guests to attend without breaking the bank. It’s a win, win! 

10. A Honeymoon Location, Too? 

After the wedding, you won’t have to travel far for a romantic honeymoon. Vermont has cozy cabins, lots of hiking trails, and charming small towns where you can relax and enjoy your first days as newlyweds. Here are a few locations that are a fav of mine!

• Stowe
• Burlington
• Quechee State Park
• Woodstock
• Waitsfield
