1. Choose a Location with Epic Mountain Views
Spring in Vermont is where the Green Mountains live up to their name. Snow melts from the peaks, the rivers wake up, and wildflowers make their quiet entrance. Here are a few locations that offer gorgeous views and quiet, romantic energy for your vows:
🏔️ Mount Philo State Park – Charlotte, VT
Small hike, big reward. With panoramic views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks, Mount Philo is a low-effort, high-impact choice for couples who want mountain magic without a trek. Bonus: the mountaintop is accessible by car if you’re including family.
🌿 Camel’s Hump – Duxbury, VT
For adventure-seeking couples, Camel’s Hump is a classic. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you want a mountaintop ceremony with sweeping views and don’t mind a springtime hike (possibly with some mud—hey, it’s Vermont!), this one is an epic choice.
🌼 The Equinox Preserve – Manchester, VT
This lesser-known gem offers peaceful trails, mountain views, and early spring blooms. It’s perfect for couples looking for a quiet, nature-forward elopement that still feels luxurious.
2. Sip & Savor Vermont’s Spring Flavors
What’s an elopement without a celebratory meal (or two)? Springtime in Vermont means farm-fresh, maple-glazed everything, seasonal cocktails, and cozy, locally-sourced menus that make your taste buds sing.
Here are a few spots to plan your post-elopement brunch, picnic, or candlelit dinner:
Honey Road – Burlington, VT
This James Beard-nominated spot serves up Mediterranean-inspired plates made with Vermont ingredients. Think: lamb meatballs, roasted carrots, and fresh herbs straight from local farms.
🧀 Dedalus Wine Bar – Burlington, VT
A cozy wine bar perfect for an intimate post-ceremony toast. You’ll find spring rosés, cheese boards, and housemade charcuterie. The vibe is very “we just eloped and we’re in love with life.”
🥞 Maple Breakfast Picnic
Want something more private? Grab a picnic basket from The Skinny Pancake, fill it with local maple treats and crepes, and enjoy a lakeside or mountainside breakfast just the two of you.
3. Bring the Romance with Spring-Focused Extras
Your elopement should feel like you—so lean into the sweet, simple, and springy.
💐 Seasonal Florals
Spring blooms in Vermont include lilacs, daffodils, and tulips. Work with a local floral artist like A Schoolhouse Garden for arrangements that feel wild, romantic, and intentional.
🛶 Add in an Adventure
Rent a canoe or kayak and float along a peaceful lake like Lake Willoughby. Spring is the season for quiet, misty mornings on the water.
