The Lilac Inn has been selected as one of the 100 best U.S. Wedding destinations by Kathryn Gabriel Loving.

Our completely renovated 1909 mansion has celebrated over 100 Vermont gay marriage and civil union ceremonies since Vermont enacted this landmark law. The serenity and beauty of Vermont's Green Mountains, the inviting village of Brandon and the incredibly romantic The Lilac Inn provides the perfect setting to celebrate your commitment ceremony in any season! We would love to provide the elegant setting for the special romantic ceremony that unites people who share a deep commitment to each other. We invite you and your partner to come and see how the Inn "feels" to you!

The Inn is built around a cobblestone courtyard that beckons guests to spend time outside in the ever-expanding gardens. There are two acres of landscaped grounds with a picturesque gazebo as a focal point plus two cascading ponds with a frog fountain, Vermont stonewalls, and slate stone benches that enhance the ambiance and provide a setting for relaxation and mediation. The air conditioned historic grand ballroom is wrapped in oversized beveled glass doors and windows. French doors fill the room with soft sunlight from its southern exposure. Our nine guest rooms, each with private tiled bath, feature contemporary amenities discreetly placed so as not to distract from the historic character of the mansion. Each room is unique and filled with treasures from over twenty years of collecting.

Again, congratulations to you and your partner on your plans for your wedding. We would love to host your celebration as you bring friends and family from afar for your very special day. We invite you to make The Lilac Inn your home for the weekend to allow plenty of time to share old memories and create unforgettable new ones.
