As a Vermont luxury wedding planner, I’ve spent more than a decade crafting full-service wedding designs that blend refined style with seamless logistics. But luxury isn’t about how much you spend—it’s about intention and purpose. It’s about emotion and crafting an experience that feels effortless, even when a 30-person crew is working behind the scenes to bring it to life.
The question I get asked constantly is, “What does a luxury Vermont wedding actually cost?” The truth is—it depends on your vision. Vermont weddings can be expensive, but when done right, they’re worth every penny. A bespoke, design-driven celebration—think custom tent buildouts, curated linens, abundant florals, multi-course dinners, and full weekend experiences—often begins around $150,000 and rises based on your choices and guest count.
That investment covers more than people think. You’re not just paying for pretty; you’re investing in top-tier vendors who deliver artistry, precision, and flawless execution. You’re saying yes to high-touch, high-impact design—from your welcome dinner to your farewell brunch—and yes, that’s a lot of design, and it comes with a price tag. And you’re prioritizing impeccable production, because “good enough” doesn’t live here. We strive for perfection every single time.
Luxury is built through intention. It’s in the weight of the linen napkin, the scent of the florals, the pacing of dinner service, and the way the lighting comes alive as the sun sets. Every detail layered with purpose and care, nothing accidental, nothing rushed.
When I bring in my New England wedding vendor network, I choose partners who thrive under pressure, communicate like pros, and anticipate needs before anyone else. The florist who quietly fixes your bouquet mid-photo. The lighting tech who adjusts when clouds roll in. The caterer who plates 200 entrees in a hilltop tent and gets dinner out in fifteen minutes flat. That’s what sets luxury apart—proactive excellence.
If logistics are the bones, design is the soul. A full-service wedding design isn’t about copying Pinterest—it’s about curating your story that unfolds in front of all your guests. I start with tone before color. Are we going for romantic and ethereal? Modern and minimal? Coastal-meets-mountain chic? From there, we select the materials, linens, flatware, floral architecture, and lighting to build an experience that feels intentional and cohesive.
My team and I create mood boards, color palettes, and floor plans so you can see your vision come to life before the first table is ever set. Every transition—from the ceremony to dinner to dancing—is choreographed for emotional impact. This is where design becomes storytelling.
And then there’s the peace of mind. People talk about “full-service planning” like it’s just another line item, but what it really means is freedom. When you hire my team, we handle vendor communication, floor layouts, rental curation, timelines, and day-of production so you can focus on being present. Luxury weddings look easy for a reason—because someone else is quietly managing the 500 moving pieces behind the curtain with grace, experience, and precision. That’s us.
Vermont is unlike anywhere else. It’s breathtaking, luxurious, and wonderfully unpredictable. We’ve built tented weddings on mountaintops, transformed barns into ballrooms, and hosted five-star experiences in open fields with no electricity. Couples come here from Boston, New York, and beyond because Vermont offers something that can’t be replicated: authenticity. When that authenticity is paired with intentional design and fantastic hospitality, that’s when you find true luxury—the kind that doesn’t just photograph beautifully, but lives forever in memory.
Luxury weddings don’t just happen—they’re built. Layer by layer. Choice by choice. When every detail connects, it doesn’t just look beautiful—it feels experiential.
