The Hermitage Inn Reviews

We had the absolute best wedding day!

I could not have asked for more from our venue. The staff was amazing and the on-site coordinators, Gina and Mercer, were truly the best to work with! They were incredibly attentive during our two-year long planning process. I always felt like a priority and it was amazing to have people to ask questions, chat through logistics, and have in our court.

Our guests loved the space and having the ability for our wedding party to all stay at the venue was absolutely everything we hoped it would be. The food and aesthetic were PERFECT. It was everything a bride could have ever asked for!!

Amazing venue, great service and the food can’t be beat. We had a 170 person wedding under a large tent in the back. Food was the consistency of a 2 person private chef. Bartenders, waiters and waitresses, everyone was incredible and so happy to be there celebrating with us.
The grounds were immaculate and planning the logistics, vendors and timeline with Gina were extremely easy. Go up, take a weekend to look around, and you can picture it happening.

Today is our three month wedding anniversary and we are still talking about how perfect our wedding was, with a huge part of that due to The Hermitage Inn. The team at The Hermitage made the entire process easy, calming and fun and made the weekend lovely, memorable and perfect. Gina was with us from moment one and was a constant professional who was warm, non-judgemental and available whenever needed. She made sure the day of went on without a hitch and took care of all the big and small details, making sure we didn’t need to worry about anything. I was very specific about wanting to start hair and make up later in the day and Gina adjusted the schedule and made sure I had my morning to myself. During the weekend Mercer, Jan, Sarah, Katia and so many others, along with Gina, made it the best weekend with all of our guests saying the same thing. From the rehearsal dinner, breakfasts in the morning, bar service and, of course, the big event, it was all excellent, personal and thoughtful.
Location and venue wise The Hermitage was again, perfect. The property and inn are beautiful, luxurious and luscious. It was incredible to have the entire inn to ourselves with our closest family and friends. The carriage house was a perfect home base to not only get ready in but to have drinks at and to have a little welcome event for just those staying at the inn on Thursday night. I have pictures of my parents and aunts and uncles sitting on the porch telling stories which I will cherish forever. The grounds were beautiful for the wedding and even though the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were at the same venue- each part of the weekend felt unique and intentional as the venue offers so many options.
Its been fun to look at the other weddings that have happened since ours on Instagram because not one of them have looked similar. That must be the magic of The Hermitage Inn and Gina, as they truly allow you to bring your own wedding to life.
Can’t wait to come back for a weekend and reminisce. My aunts and parents also fell in love with the venue and are planning a trip up the winter.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience hosting our wedding at the Hermitage - The Inn is beautiful, the food is spectacular, the wine program is fantastic, and the staff is incredible. My husband and I knew we wanted to get married in Vermont, but we didn't want a barn, a tent, or anything too rustic. Enter, the Hermitage! The Hermitage Inn has been around for a while, so it has that lovely Vermont charm, however, it was taken over my new owners a few years ago and they did a beautiful job with the interior. It is modern, chic, and beautiful. There is a restaurant and tavern attached to the inn that fit over 100 people. It's beautifully decorated, has multiple fireplaces, and was exactly what we were looking for. To make it an even better, there is a truly AMAZING wedding planner on staff at the Hermitage, Gina. Gina is such a delight to work with and we were so grateful for her support throughout our entire wedding planning process. When the weekend finally arrived, we were in such great hands. Gina and her wedding planning crew were true professionals. The chef at the Hermitage cooked up an amazing meal that had guests raving. The owner and manager helped us select fantastic wines at our tasting from their award-winning wine program. The staff (servers, bartenders and the groundskeeper) were incredible. We have memories at the Hermitage that will last a lifetime and we are so grateful to them for making our wedding day so special! THANK YOU Hermitage Inn!!

My husband and I couldn't recommend The Hermitage Inn more. The service is unbeatable - not only was the onsite planner we worked with (Gina) caring, professional, quick to respond, and a great problem solver, but on the wedding day itself, every employee at the Inn truly cared about your day and making it as smooth and perfect as possible. In our eyes, their professionalism and kindness cannot be beaten, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the service. On top of that, the food was exceptional, and we can't begin to explain how beautiful yet also delicious our cake was.

In addition to having our wedding there, we also had our rehearsal dinner in the wine cellar and hired the Hermitage to do the florals for the night. The food was also delicious (this is a sign to pick the chocolate lava cake), the ambiance made for a more intimate dinner with those we loved, and the flowers were stunning. Also, our wedding party stayed at the Inn for the entire weekend, and the rooms were immaculate. So, stop your search now and get married here! Photo Credit to Emily Wren Photography

The Hermitage Inn is run by a team of passionate professionals.
(Jo Putnam, Event Coordinator, is the absolute best!)
They delivered a first-class experience for our guests, and they were a pleasure to work with from day one, making our vision come to life. Trust that they will deliver a one-of-a-kind Vermont experience: intimate and cozy, elegant and classy, modern and up-scale all while also honoring the location of the mountains. This is a gem of a location, as are the people! The space, the design, the food...it doesn't get better than this!

I can't say enough wonderful things about the team at the Hermitage Inn! I was proposed to at the Inn, in early February. My fiance said the team was so easy to work with leading up to the day, and made sure to have everything in place, and a fire roaring when we got there. Everyone was so warm and accommodating and made us feel right at home. We had dinner on property both nights (we stayed at the Inn), and our friends and family were raving about the food and drinks! 

As an event professional myself (who notices all the small details, and knows all the strings they needed to pull behind the scenes), I can't recommend Hermitage Inn enough. Looking forward to returning next year, and the years to come, what a special place!

My husband and I got married at The Hermitage in August 2023. It was a perfect New England mix of weather. Rain all morning until noon, wind and unseasonably cold! We wouldn’t have changed a thing. The team at the Inn was fantastic. They turned on heat lamps and had all the pretty fire pits going. It made everything glow and felt so special. Gina, the Inn’s wedding planner, is just so lovely. She’s professional and organized and executed everything we asked and more. We picked this location because it’s beautiful, and had indoor and outdoor wedding space. We wanted to get married in Vermont, but we weren’t looking for rustic. This was a really good fit for us. Overall it’s pricey, and that was a factor that we weighed heavily. Our guests raved about the food and drink, and loved The Hermitage. And we’re still dreaming about the wedding cake, carrot cake to be exact from the Inn’s pastry chef, Maya.
