Hold Your Wedding At The Historic Brandon Inn

And Make A Little History Of Your Own

Historic Ambiance with Gracious Hospitality

As one of the oldest inns in the continental U.S., the Brandon Inn traces its roots back more than two hundred years to 1786, when Jacob Simonds opened a small, one story tavern on the Brandon Village Green.

Today, the Brandon Inn retains all the old world elegance and charm of its earlier days. Though time has passed and many changes have taken place at the Inn, the spirit of hospitality has endured, and the Pattises are keenly attuned to the needs of their guests. Together, they have created a remarkably personable and cozy atmosphere that make weddings very, very special. Constructed in the Dutch Colonial style of marble, brick, and wood, the Inn has a spaciousness that is unique throughout New England. The Pier Mirror Ballroom, for example, with its pillars, high ceilings, paddle fans, hardwood floors, and collections of fabulous mirrors, glows in the evening and makes for very special receptions.

Imagine your bride drifting down the broad staircase to the admiration of friends gathered in the parlor by a crackling fire. She is radiant, and there is a toast. Laughter. Firelight. The piano plays a family favorite. Exquisite hors d’oeuvres circulate discreetly. It is a moment to remember. And there are many more to come. The Neshobe Tavern is a cozy and intimate place for casual get togethers the night before the wedding. The Elegant Pier Mirror Ballroom lends itself to the wedding ceremony, cocktails and dancing after dinner. The Garden Room with its French doors onto the pool terraces and barbeque area lends itself to casual barbecues or rehearsals with an outdoor feel and theme. The Seeley Estabrook Dining Room combined with adjoining Wicker Room and Garden Room can accommodate up to 280 people. Or, as the sun is setting, on our sweeping back lawns, bordered by the Neshobe River, a reception under a white tent. With such spaciousness and flexibility, all ceremonies and receptions are possible at the Inn.

Guest Rooms

Naturally, guest rooms at The Brandon Inn are also spacious and comfortable, with both suites and double rooms available. All have private baths, and there are 37 in all, so your out-of-state guests may enjoy the party without the worries of driving. Our honeymoon suite features a king bedroom and an oversized marble Jacuzzi bathroom.

Cuisine

No words can describe the importance of cuisine to a wedding reception. That is why we attend to the preparation of your wedding menus with the greatest care. In recent years, our restaurant has won many culinary awards, including the Grand Award, a gold award at “The Taste of Vermont” competition. Yet although we boast certain specialties, and can offer complete wedding menus, please understand that we will gladly prepare anything you wish.
