General Information
We have enclosed information based on the most commonly
asked questions about planning a wedding at the Brandon Inn. As you
progress in the planning process, we will be happy to provide any
additional information that you may require.
Ceremony Arrangements
Wedding ceremonies may take place here at the Brandon Inn (near
the grand staircase, in the ballroom, in the gazebo), at one of the
local churches or by a Justice of the Peace, in a covered bridge,
or at one of the many historical/pastoral settings in Brandon. If
desired, we will assist you with finalizing the ceremony location
and make recommendations for music, floral and photographic needs.
Food and Beverage Arrangements
Enclosed are menu suggestions as well as pricing. We encourage
you to advise us of your selections at your earliest convenience and
no later than 14 days prior to your wedding date. A final guest
count must be provided 3 days prior to the event. This will be considered
your minimum group guarantee. Your bill may be adjusted if additional
guests are served. Meals for photographers, band members, etc. will
be an additional charge.
Restrictions
No food or beverage may be brought from the outside. Exceptions
must be approved in advance and will be subject to plating and corkage
fees.
Throwing of rice, glitter, confetti, or bubbles is NOT permitted
either inside or on hotel grounds.
Out of consideration for our staff, six hours is allocated for
the reception, with extended hours by arrangement.
General Information
Facility/Coordination Fee
The $1,500 facility/coordination fee applies to all functions
of 75 or more guests. The fee will be pro-rated for smaller functions.
If a wedding reception includes more than 75 guests, the bride and
groom will receive complimentary use of the bridal suite for the night
of the wedding.
Room Requirements
A block of rooms can be held to guarantee wedding guests
have rooms and in this case a contract between the Inn and a Wedding
representative is drawn up. It is not required that the wedding
party books all the guest rooms for the week-end.
Taxes and Gratuities
9% Vermont meals and rooms tax, 10% alcohol tax, and 15% gratuity
will be added to all functions.
Damage/Theft Deposit
A $500 refundable deposit may be required prior to the event.
Payment
A $1,500 deposit is required to reserve the date. The deposit is refundable
with a 90 day advance notice providing the date is rebooked with a
comparable party. We accept personal checks or cashier’s
checks for payment of the final bill but no credit cards. Payment is
due at the end of the evening or the next morning at the discretion
of the Inn.
We look forward to working with you to assure that your dream
wedding will become a reality.
