We recently held our daughter's wedding at West Mountain Inn. Our daughter and son-in-law knew immediately this was the venue where they wanted to have their wedding mostly due to the warmth of staff, innkeeper, delicious food and Inn atmosphere/environment. The setting is breathtaking and has a lot to offer. Amie, the owner/innkeeper was so pleasant to work with and was extremely responsive. We wanted a weekend where family and friends could gather. Family arrived a day earlier and we had an outdoor mountainside yoga session and a fly fishing excursion. Amie assisted us with this and had the chef prepare a light lunch for the yoga participants as well as sent a bagged lunch for the fly fishers. Later that evening we had a country western themed rehearsal dinner (BBQ) in the barn and a bon fire. It was a hit! Hale Mountain Band did a fantastic job playing bluegrass and country music. All recommendations from Amie. Wedding day, the Inn has a perfect \"getting ready\" room for the bride/bridesmaids and a classic room for the groom/groomsmen to get ready. The property is gorgeous no matter where you take your photos. The ceremony was in the Labrinth Garden overlooking the green mountains. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour, as the hors d'oeuvres were so delicious. The chef gave fabulous suggestions. Chef Jeff Scott even had his famous watermelon gazpacho in shooter glasses which was a nice presentation. The Beet and Goat Cheese Napoleons with Arugula Pesto were also a BIG hit. We had the reception under a tent at The Meadow. The evening flowed smoothly. The dinner also received rave reviews. The staff was so helpful and pleasant. Many of the guests said it was the best wedding they had been to in a long time. The Inn also can house your family so you can all be together. Amie also assisted us with a bus the evening of the wedding to transport our guests to their hotels. We were so happy to have found West Mountain Inn and couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Everything from planning, organizing, and facilitating our wedding weekend was above and BEYOND. Amie and her staff (inn keepers, housekeeping, grounds keeping, wait staff, chef) was absolutely outstanding and always friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better team supporting us on our special weekend. The communication over a year and a half planning was always attentive and never missed a single detail. West Mountain Inn will always hold a special place in our hearts and we will definitely be returning for years to come! Highly recommend this venue, Amie, and her staff if you're in search of a one-stop shop wedding venue that truly cares about the couples being celebrated there. Reviewed on 04-11-2023

Honestly - we don't think there's enough space within the word limit of this post to describe the sheer perfection that the West Mountain Inn is. My husband and I got married at WMI in September 2023 and the inside and out beauty, kindness, and warmth of the WMI and its staff (especially Amie, the Inn Owner, who is a day-of wedding coordination/planner extraordinaire) are unmatched. We were positively spoiled to have spent the course of 5 days wrapped in an early-autumn Vermont gem with our closest friends and family. The food - perfection. The drinks - phenomenal. The scenery - breathtaking. And the company - it's like you're at home.We are so thankful to have spent our wedding weekend at the WMI and are still in awe of what a dream it was.Thank you to the WMI staff, to Amie, and to Milo and Pepper who were the star golden retrievers/greeters of the weekend.

I can not say enough good things about Amie and the West Mountain Inn. This was the only venue we looked at and it was by far the best decision we made. Our wedding was SPECTACULAR. We rented the whole inn for our fall wedding. The food was INCREDIBLE. We had the wood fired pizza Friday, the upgraded seated menu for Saturday night, and a fabulous brunch Sunday. Amie made the whole process easy and joyful. She thought of everything and made sure our day went off smoothly. The staff is great. Everyone said it was the best wedding they had ever been too. Don’t bother looking anywhere else. This is hands down the most perfect place to get married!! Reviewed on 07-10-2023

We wanted to share the beauty and the magic of Vermont with our loved ones and we could not have imagined a more idyllic setting for our wedding than West Mountain Inn. Amie is an absolute dream to work with and was so helpful and communicative throughout the wedding planning process. The Inn pups, Milo and Pepper were adorable assistants during rehearsal dinner and welcome party. Chris, Emily, and each of the staff members made our guests feel right at home!

The level of expertise that goes into the weddings and events at WMI are like no other. Our wedding and wedding weekend was absolutely perfect. Amie and her team are kind and helpful and made sure everything for our weekend went well. Amie was also very helpful in planning and answered any questions I had, no matter how ridiculous the question was. She also has the sweetest golden retrievers, Milo and Pepper, who were 100% welcome at our wedding and our guests loved them too. The rooms at the inn are updated and comfortable with almost every bathroom amenity you could forget to bring. Every piece of food we consumed over the weekend was incredible. The Inn grounds are beautiful as well. Secluded up the middle of a mountain, WMI has many gardens, alpacas, hiking trails, the fire pit area and lots of lawn and views. The feedback we got from our guests on the food/venue/wedding as a whole was nothing but positive and everyone had a blast. This venue will not disappoint, these folks know how to do weddings!!!

Sophie Doughty(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-07-2022 My husband and I got married here this past summer and it was perfect! The venue and views are absolutely stunning! Amie is an absolute dream to work with! She is patient, organized, and was so accommodating. We were originally supposed to get married in 2020 but had to push it back and Amie helped us to organize the new date and was very understanding, which made a very stressful situation so much easier. The night before the wedding Amie did an awesome job of organizing the wedding party to run through the rehearsal, which was incredibly helpful because it was a lot to try to wrangle all of us. On the day Amie was crucial with organizing all the vendors so that everything went right as planned. She is so amazing to work with and made everything about out wedding so easy and stress free. The food was fantastic, we have had multiple guests tell us that it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. They were also great accommodating dietary restrictions, one of our guests needed a vegan meal, and she said they made her a delicious dinner that was thoughtful and filling, which she said is rare for her at weddings. The servers were so kind, attentive, and fun. The coordination with food and drink was impeccable and no one had to wait in long lines at the bar, which was awesome! We have stayed at the inn multiple times and it is so lovely. The breakfast is always delicious, the rooms are comfortable and charming, and the property is beautiful anytime of year. Whether you are getting married or looking for a vacation in Vermont this is the place to go! Reviewed on 27-12-2022
Grace Brody(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2022 WMI is a literal dream of a place to have your wedding. Whatever you value most about in your venue search, WMI has it. Incredible scenery for your ceremony? You get to say “I do” with the rolling green mountains and a lovely flower garden behind you. Delicious food? The chef managed to make salmon for 100 people that had the texture of butter and was full of flavor. An amazing venue coordinator? There aren’t enough words in the English language for how incredible Amie is. She answers every annoying question an anxious bride (me) sends her over email. She is so organized but also has an impressive creative vision to ensure your day is so beautiful. There’s no need to hire a day-of coordinator when you have Amie. There’s barely a need to hire a planner when you have Amie (we didn’t have one). She has such great recommendations and relationships with all the wedding vendors in the area, which makes planning a destination wedding a breeze. She also has just such a wonderful calming presence that is invaluable in the craziness of wedding planning and day-of. If you’re deciding between WMI and another venue, stop considering- book WMI.

Sophie Mendelson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-10-2022 I can’t recommend this place strongly enough!!! We felt loved and cared for throughout the entire process from booking, planning, to the actual wedding weekend. Our friends and families are raving about the venue and it was so special to have our closest friends and family staying on site. With 14 spacious rooms in the Main inn and then three townhouses with two bedrooms each, You can build out the little community that you want to be surrounding you for your entire stay, and you can take comfort in knowing that the rest of your guests not on-site are having an amazing time exploring Manchester, Bennington and everything in between. We had our parents, grandmas, siblings and bridal party stay with us for the whole weekend. It was so nice to not have to worry about anyone traveling on the day of, and it was great that my grandma could go and rest when she needed to throughout the weekend without missing out. The events themselves were so much fun. The layout of the property makes each portion of your party feel unique and interesting; the welcome party, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, after party and brunch each had their own spot and distinct vibe. Amie, the owner and wedding coordinator, is incredibly responsive to concerns and answered all my *hundreds?* of emails throughout the 15 month planning process. The barn is gorgeous, with the string lights and outdoor Edison bulbs the entire space lightsUp like a fairytale. The grounds have so many gorgeous little nooks for beautiful photo moments, and there are hundreds of acres of hiking trails to explore. The food throughout the weekend was really delicious and reasonably priced. The bartenders made awesome signature cocktails and kept things moving swiftly, there was never a line. The entire staff functions like a well oiled machine, but they also make you feel so special, like yours is the only wedding that matters despite them having weddings almost every weekend in season. They are experienced professionals who know how to make your event amazing. Every detail that I was worried about was already attended to and planned for.

The West Mountain Inn is a beautiful and secluded setting in Arlington, Vermont with mountain views and perfectly maintained gardens. The Inn itself is charming with cozy rooms and delicious breakfasts. One of the highlights of our wedding weekend was our rehearsal dinner barbecue on Friday evening followed by a welcome party for all of our guests with craft Vermont beer, donuts, and s'mores around the bonfire. Our wedding reception used so many of the great locations on the property, starting with a cocktail hour on the side lawn, a reception under a stunning sailcloth tent overlooking the mountains, and then we finished the evening with dancing and dessert in the Inn's barn. So many of our guests have told us that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended!

The innkeeper, Amie, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She's organized, dependable, easy going, and flexible! We had the BEST wedding weekend at the WMI in late August. It was fun having all of our closest family and friends on the property and we loved how quaint and unique the different rooms were at the Inn! We also reserved all rooms at The Arlington Inn nearby which made it easy for extended family to participate in the weekend festivities! Amie hosted our rehearsal dinner/welcome party Friday night. Our guests LOVED the pizza bar - especially the buffalo chicken pizza! The sangria and apple cider doughnuts were also very popular. I appreciated Amie's wide assortment of wedding props which added extra character throughout the weekend.The day of our wedding, Amie did a great job coordinating the vendors and getting everyone in the right place at the right time. The bridal suite was spacious and very well lit. The Saturday morning complimentary breakfast was impressive - great quality and unique ingredients. Our ceremony was at the maze garden which was absolutely stunning! We had dinner under a sailtop tent (I recommend spending the extra money for sailtop if possible), and we moved to the Barn for dancing after dinner. One recommendation: if the event is in the barn and it's going to be hot, plan for more fans!While festivities must end at 11pm, Amie recommends the Millhouse suite as an after party location (right down the hill where our groomsmen stayed). It was perfect for our guests who wanted to keep the party going and the proximity didn't interrupt the flow of the night.Amie also coordinated shuttles for Friday/Saturday - everything ran smoothly and right on schedule! Our guests loved the cheese/meat table at the cocktail hour - the cheeses were amazing! I was glad I upgraded our starter salad (with figs/goat cheese). We wanted to serve hot pretzels at the end of the night, but Amie couldn't get them from her distributor. Instead, I brought the pretzels from Sam's Club and Amie's team cooked them up and packaged them in our custom wrappers for guests as they left - I appreciated the flexibility and attention to detail!

You and your family would have the inn and all its amazing rooms and spaces to yourself if you book a weekend wedding. There's a beautiful garden labyrinth with the backdrop of the green mountains, adorable alpacas, and a spacious place to host an outdoor homemade pizza or bbq rehearsal. We hosted our cocktail hour on the big lawn in front of the barn where there's enough room for a tent or an open air gathering. Then we rounded out our wedding evening eating the delicious meals the inn prepared, and danced it up in the iconic wooden beam barn (Oh the Barn!!). To top it all off, each morning, including your departure, your guests are treated to a sensational breakfast. Amie and her staff are fantastic. They can help you with planning details with everything from rooms for your guests, local vendors they recommend, special food requests, organizing a bus if you have guests staying in the area, even hiking suggestions for down time.

Gabriela Repeta(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-08-2019 The best decision we made (besides getting married)!Amie and her team at the West Mountain Inn rival Walt Disney in making your dreams come true. Words will not fully describe how amazing this place is, and it will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We knew immediately that it was the place where we wanted to get married. Upon a visit to check out the Inn as a possible venue, we ended up having dinner at the restaurant (chef Jeff is amazing by the way!), and met 2 couples- couples who were once strangers and are now friends from meeting by chance at the Inn- there whose children had been married at the Inn 15 + years ago. Both of these couples have made a point to come back every year to stay there themselves because they had such a fabulous time at the weddings. That right there shows you how special this place is. Everyone who stays there, has gotten married there, was a guest at a wedding or an event, they can all tell you that there is no place on earth like it. You feel so at home as soon as you walk in as if you’ve been coming there for years. We were fortunate enough to visit the Inn during all seasons, and I’m telling you it is gorgeous in good and bad weather conditions. We had the most spectacular wedding there, and I am so excited to visit in the years coming to celebrate anniversaries, bring future children there etc. Everyone who works there is so kind and extremely professional. They made sure that we had everything we needed, and so many of our guests who stayed there with us have since told me stories about how the staff helped them with special requests. Amie is a marvel of a woman. She is never in a bad mood, never stressed, and always gives you such individualized attention that it makes you feel like you’re the only couple she has getting married at the Inn that year. The Inn is so beautifully remote (without being in the middle of nowhere), that it feels like you’re in your own private world for the weekend. We decided to host a welcome dinner at the Inn the Friday night before the wedding, and so many people have told us that they felt like they were part of an intimate celebration that took place all weekend even though we had over 150 guests. I had so many people tell me that this was the most beautiful venue they had ever seen, and some women even said that they wished they could do their weddings over again and do it at the Inn!

Amie made the entire planning process easy and stress free (and answered probably about 100 emails from me leading up to the wedding) - she was organized, knowledgeable and had a calming effect that made everything feel easy and manageable. The day of was perfect - our families and wedding parties were able to stay at the inn, which was amazing, and we got ready there, which made everything seamless. We got married in the labyrinth, had cocktail hour in front of the inn, had dinner on the lawn under a tent and had our reception in the barn, which worked out perfectly. Amie had a ton of decorations such that we didn't have to bring or rent anything (cake stands, table numbers, signs, etc.) which I didn't find was the case at a lot of other venues. The food was amazing both Friday (BBQ) and Saturday nights - everyone raved about it and said it was some of the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. The setting was amazingly beautiful and being able to quickly walk between each event worked out perfectly. A lot of our families and friends were coming in from out of town so the experience of coming to Arlington/Manchester alone made the whole thing that much better - quintessential Vermont. A ton of people hiked the morning of the wedding or explored downtown Manchester, which made it a nice getaway for people coming to town.We really can't recommend getting married at WMI enough. If you want a laid back wedding (and planning experience), don't want to deal with the hassle of venues where you have to rent linens/decorations/glassware, and one of the most beautiful settings I could have hoped for then get married here. Everyone is still raving about it months later. And if you're debating whether to do your rehearsal dinner there the night before - that may have been our favorite part of the experience. Pictures don't do the setting justice, from the little cafe tables on the lawn with the mountains in the background to s'mores by the campfire after dinner - it was awesome.

Bethany Lavery(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-08-2019 We were married on 8.17.19 and it could not have been more perfect. Amie made the planning process really easy and was available throughout the past year to answer my many questions. On Friday night, we had a bbq rehearsal dinner on the back lawn and everyone was blown away by the food (ribs, swordfish, chicken, grilled vegetables, to die for Mac and cheese, and most importantly, the most to die for apple crisp, which many guests enjoyed a second serving). After the dinner we welcomed all of our wedding guests to welcome drinks with a s’mores bonfire. This was such a fun chance to be able to greet all of our guests and relax and get excited for the next day. Everyone was reminiscing how they felt like they were at summer camp. On Saturday the forecast was not good, and I was really nervous. Our rain plan was actually great because the barn is just gorgeous, but I had dreamed of getting married outside. Amie was so calm, and a few hours before we decided to move the cocktail hour closer to the inn so that if it did rain, we could easily move inside. Everything ended up working out perfectly as the rain held off for a beautiful ceremony and cocktail hour, and downpoured just as we were making our entrance into the barn. Throughout the whole rain debacle, all of the staff were so accommodating in doing whatever it took to make sure we were happy. They could have easily insisted that we go with the rain plan just in case, but they didn’t and everything worked out just perfectly. I could go on and on about how amazing every meal we ate was, how helpful and friendly all of the staff were, and how much everyone truly enjoyed the weekend, but I think the following best exemplifies the experience: on Saturday morning, I was getting ready with my bridesmaids. I looked out the window and saw my grandfather slowly walking on the grounds with his cane. One of the amazing employees drove over to him and asked him if he wanted a tour. I saw him hop in the gold cart with the biggest smile on his face, driving all over to see the alpacas and other beautiful scenery. It truly made my weekend to see how happy that made him. Thank you so much to Amie and everyone else at the inn, we truly could not have asked for a better weekend! Reviewed on 19-08-2019
Danielle Jeffries(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-07-2019 West Mountain InnI literally cannot say enough about Amie and the rest of the staff at West Mountain Inn. The venue itself is gorgeous and exactly what we wanted, but the people (and the food!) were what made the experience unlike anything we've ever been a part of. Everything was perfect - the setup, the service, the interactions, the personalities, absolutely everything. Each member of the team clearly cares about the experience of the bride and groom as well as all of their guests and always goes above and beyond. Amie completely took our vision and gave us exactly what we wanted and more. And the food, holy cow, Jeff and the kitchen staff put out the most phenomenal food! From the welcome pizza party to the appetizers and meals at the reception, to brunch the next morning, everything left you full, but wanting more!! I wish I could bring them home with me! My husband is a tough critic who looked at me at the end of the weekend and said, \"Everything was perfect.\" And it was. West Mountain Inn provided everything we could have ever imagined for the most perfect wedding. Reviewed on 20-07-2019
Heather Ward(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-09-2018 My husband and I got married in September of 2018 at the West Mountain Inn. We had friends and family traveling from afar and wanted a place where they could all be together, and this was the perfect venue for that purpose. The Inn has this amazing feeling -- it's cozy and beautiful and welcoming. We had the entire property for the weekend, and had events planned for everyone Friday-Sunday. I am honestly not exaggerating when I say that every aspect of the weekend was incredible. At the end, some of our guests cried because they didn't want the weekend to end. In addition to the venue itself, I can't express how incredible Amie and the West Mountain Inn team are. I had a vision for our wedding, but there were times when I found wedding planning to be a bit daunting. At every turn, Amie was there to help me. She provided vendor recommendations, advice on table layouts and food/cocktails, made sure we worked together on a detailed day-of schedule, and even ran our wedding rehearsal. She is an absolute delight to work with -- knowledgeable, easygoing, and extremely competent without being overbearing. Throughout the entire weekend, we never had to worry or think about any logistics, which allowed us to focus entirely on being with our loved ones and having fun. The West Mountain Inn will always have a special place in our hearts. We look forward to bringing our children there with us one day! Reviewed on 12-01-2019
Emily Byrne(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-07-2018 We could not have wished for a better wedding venue than the West Mountain Inn! Every step of the way Amie was there to answer questions and keep me on track with planning - something I was extremely grateful for as a busy medical student living across the country. She coordinated everything day of as well and made the whole process feel easy. Plus, since their chef cooks all the delicious meals it checked off an extra step in the planning process! We were able to have so many of our guests stay with us at the inn - the property is reserved entirely for you for a weekend wedding - and that made the weekend even more special and memorable for all of us. It felt like a home away from home with our closest friends and family!The West Mountain Inn was the first venue we visited and I fell in love immediately. The entire property is gorgeous and offers so many options for where to host all of your wedding events. We were able to enjoy a rehearsal dinner on the patio (with trips to visit the alpacas across the lawn) followed by s'mores at the fire pit, wedding ceremony in the labyrinth garden with views of the mountains, cocktail hour in the meadow, and reception in the gorgeous barn- what more could you ask for?! It is a truly magical place for a wedding that is authentic, full of natural beauty, and refined all at the same time.Aside from the beauty of the venue, which our guests raved about for weeks afterward, we are so incredibly grateful for the amazing staff the WMI. Everyone was so kind, caring, and supportive throughout the entire process, especially when we ran into an unexpected emergency the morning of the wedding. When the situation required us to stay in the area for longer than expected, we were welcomed to stay for as long as we needed and we truly felt taken care of. The sign at the front of the Inn says \"You're one of the folks\" and that statement could not be more true. We were treated like family and we can't wait to return to the Inn for years to come.

Our guests couldn't stop talking about this. Amie, the owner and wedding coordinator was so helpful, accommodating, patient and communicative throughout our entire planning process. She dealt with, at times, multiple emails a day from me and would sometimes include crazy questions that she was able to answer right away in detail. The rooms at the Inn are adorable and the best part about it was that we had the entire place to ourselves for our wedding weekend. Amie was in communication with all of my vendors and truly acted as a wedding planner. Her entire staff were very attentive and didn't let anyone go thirsty or hungry. Everything from the rehearsal dinner, the bonfire, the actual wedding, and the Newlywed breakfast the next morning were absolutely perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better venue and staff to make our wedding weekend extra special. Everything went smoothly I don't think there is one negative complaint! Thank you WMI! Reviewed on 07-08-2018

It was the picture perfect day and we could not have asked for a better experience. Amie, the Inn Keeper and Wedding Planner, was incredible. She was extremely responsive to all of our multitude of questions, and when it came to the day of the wedding, ensured that every single detail went perfectly. The West Mountain Inn is beautiful every day, but on our wedding day the grounds were immaculate. The flowers around the Inn, and in the labyrinth we beautiful, the cafe lights lining the walkways to the barn and the fire pit, the Barn itself lit up just so; every single detail was perfect and made our day the best of our lives. We have had so many of our guests say to us that our wedding at the West Mountain Inn was the best that they had ever been to.

Anonymous (parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-10-2014 I am just coming back from my son's wedding this weekend and I felt compelled to write this review. The owner of the West Mountain Inn and their in house wedding planner could not have done more to make the rehersal dinner and bon fire that happened after the dinner more perfect. They were patient , extremely communicative and very helpful with the planning and thought of every single detail to make it a magical night. They accommodated food requests and last minute changes with a smile on their face. They were always calm and collected and I truly felt like a guest at my own party. My only suggestion is to add extra servers as some of the food did not come out at the same time, but that is a minor detail and easily fixed. The Inn is clean, comfortable and inviting. It is close to shopping and many fun activities for all ages. I would recommend the Inn to anyone having a wedding or a family reunion or any outing at all. Reviewed on 20-10-2014

Terry is the remarkable Wedding Coordinator of exceptional skill. Both Amie and Terry are easy to work with, accessible whenever you need them, and working all the details to make the wedding memorable and trouble free. Jeff is the Head Chef and he oversaw all of the meals and treats expertly. All of the food got rave reviews from our guests with fresh ingredients and wonderful taste. The service staff under Terry and Jeff are to be commended for their attention to the Hosts and Bride &Groom, the families and all of our guests. \r-\rThe rooms at the Inn were spotless, charming, spacious, and Vermont themed. The dining area, bar, and sitting areas were perfect for guests to mingle and prepare. The grounds are stunning, with mountain views in three directions. The lawn and fields for our reception party and wedding ceremony were perfect. \r- \rAnd, then there is the Barn! Our wedding used the entire property to it's many advantages - and the Barn was enchanting for our wedding celebration party. We worked closely with Terry & Amie, and our Florist (Flowers by Cara) to create the best space for a party, dancing, mingling and dining. THEY SIMPLY ARE THE BEST! I can not think of a detail that we did not work over or try to make the space more beautiful. They were patient and offered many suggestions to manage costs, the flow of guests, music and lighting. \r-\rAs you can tell I am so pleased with every touch and space at the West\rMountain Inn.

The rooms are well kept and unique each in their own way. The service is the friendliest around and you really feel like you're in your own home. They were in the process of switching wedding coordinators the year of our wedding, which made me nervous. There were a few times I felt they were playing \"catch up\" or there was a lack of communication, but in the end it did not effect the quality of their service.

It far surpassed any of my high expectations. There are not words to describe the visceral magic you will feel in celebrating the most important day of your life in this homey intimate environment. The beauty of the place, combined with the low key professionalism and support of the staff is one in a million. I would not change one single solitary thing about the wedding (except I wish had splurged on a videographer to capture the beauty of this event in real time.)If you are looking to host a wedding that does not feel like your run of the mill \"banquet hall\" experience, you will not be sorry if you choose west mountain.
