Wedding and Event FAQs
Yes you can have candles in the barn and pavilion, but they must be in glass and on tables.
You can start setting up as early as 11am on Friday morning.
We place the specific number of tables and chairs that you requested inside the Barn and Pavilion. We usually arrange them in semi-circles around the window side of the Barn. You may give us a sketch of your arrangement. Table decorations and flower arrangement are left to the wedding party and/or caterer.
We have 165 wooden slatted chairs and 165 white plastic chairs available. We have 20 of the 5′ round tables (that seat 8) and 7 of the 4′ round tables (that seat 6) for the balcony. We also have one large 10′ x 3′ and three 2.5 x 8ft buffet tables and one 3′ Round cake table. You need to rent any additional tables or chairs.
We have four overhead lights, 19 wall lights, 7 overhead lights in the balcony that can all be dimmed for ambiance lighting. We also have candle lights in the windows and a lot of natural light from the 34 windows.
The entire floor is hardwood, allowing for dancing anywhere. We do not have a raised dance floor.
We do not rent linens, dishes or flatware. You would need to rent them from your caterer or a rental company. We have a great list on our vendor page.
The wooden slatted chairs are for indoor use only. You may use them if you have the wedding ceremony in the pavilion. Our white plastic chairs can be used outside. The wedding party is responsible for setting up and taking down the ceremony chairs.
Yes, we have a public address system and capability to play the radio and MP3. We have two speakers inside and two outdoors (that you can hear under the pavilion). We strongly recommend trying it out before your wedding.
We have two restrooms in the barn. We also have three down at the Inn that guests can use.
Yes, we have a brick walkway that you can use to drive up decorations, catering supplies and people that have trouble walking.
We provide four 30 gallon trash bins for garbage and 5 blue recycling bins. Please separate the garbage and recycling and we take care of it for you.
Yes. Our town ordinances and respect for our neighbors means you need to have the music in the barn and end at 11pm. You may have music in the pavilion if it ends before 9pm. You are welcome to play our stereo system as late as you want.
We do not have electricity in the gazebo, but we do have an outlet at the end of the exit bridge that comes out of the second floor of the inn. You will need to bring an extension cord. It is about 75 feet.
Yes. We have two standard 20 amp GFI outlets (four plugs) outside the pavilion. For GFI outlets in the outside catering area that can be used for ovens, coffee makers etc…
We have several great spots for your ceremony. The first (and most popular) is right in front of the Inn by the pond. It is a beautiful and very convenient location.
We have a beautiful new gazebo on the side of the pond. It has a wonderful background for pictures and is 7 sided for good luck.
You should always be prepared for rain in Vermont. Most people have the wedding in the pavilion. It gives you that wonderful outside feeling without worrying about the weather.
No we do not allow smoking in the Barn, Pavilion or Inn. We set up a smoking area with a bucket for butts out by a picnic table. Remember we have a $2 charge for each cigarette butt found on the grounds after the wedding.
We can sleep up to 22 guests in the eight bedroom Inn. That is our maximum number.
Generally breakfast is at 8:30am, but this time is flexible. Let us know what time works best for your group (it does need to be a set time) and we can arrange it. We can serve up to 35 people. The campers can add on breakfast for $15 each.
We do allow camping for weddings. Molly’s Meadow is a great place to camp with a large fire pit and a couple picnic tables. We do not have formal campsites, so you are welcome to pitch your tent anywhere. We also have 4 new lean-tos that people can use. They are first come first serve. We have bathrooms and showers that campers can use in the basement of the Inn. Bring your own towels for showers.
We prefer the wedding party to do all the room assignments for the weekend and give us a list. Check-in for the Inn is at 3pm on Friday. Sometimes we can accommodate earlier check-in, but please call first. Check out is 11am on Sunday.
