    TJHine - you're getting married on my birthday! Congratulations. Where did you decide to get married? The winter can be very pretty in VT. Best of luck with your planning!

    Thanks for all the responses ladies, I was new to posting when i posted at first, and forgot to press the "watch this thread" haha :) sorry! The plans are coming along great, I can't believe it is almost three months away! We are getting married in Quechee at The Quechee Club, my parents have been members there for a loooong time, and so it worked best there (bonus: they are letting us use their chairlift for pictures!) we loved Riverside Farm, but it was a bit pricey, so we went with the club...we are happy with our decision :) [url=http://www.theknot.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=UBB&utm_campaign=tickers][img]http://global.theknot.com/tools/tickers/tt46105.aspx[/img][/url]

    I agree 100%: the "Why VT?" question has come up a time or two! My parents live in VT and we always visited there every year for a vacation. Those two factors along with the idea of a destination overlooking the beautiful mountains of the area were what were deal breakers for me. Final deciding factor was when my FI proposed to me while in VT!! I"m getting married in St Johnsbury (NEK) at the Alerin Barn. Good luck to the both of you...please share any other VT ideas or tips you have!

    Pohlman - the barn looks so beautiful! that is exactly what FI and I wanted...however, we could only do vt if it was in or near quechee, and there isn't anything like that close :( however, we fully intend on decorating our venue to look rusticy (that is so not a word haha)...things like tree trunk table numbers, lots of branches, tree stump cake, etc. and we still have the beautiful vt outdoors for photos, so i'm happy!

    TJHine - I'm also getting married at the Quechee Country Club in August 2010 AND I am from CT too!!   Would love to hear about some of the vendors you have chosen.  Hope the planning is going well!!Emily

    I am from a rural town in NY. My fiance is from Vt so that was part of our reason for choosing VT. I love VT because it's beautiful and reminds me of where I grew up. I have found the vendors in VT to be very professional yet relaxed and easy to work with. Hope this helps.Our wedding will be 10-9-10 at the Stables at Pigeon Hill Farm!

    melanie - Riverside is SO beautiful isn't it? Did you also look at Aimee farm? That is a nice place for people to stay for your wedding...I can't wait to see pictures, when are you getting married?
