The portrait room at the Vermont History Museum could work -- it's right downtown, so it would be easy for guests to get between the two spaces. Room would be big enough for 60 without it feeling too cavernous. The portraits would lend a cool backdrop, and it would be easy to dress up the room with a some floral arrangements and other decorations. You'd also be right by the State House for pictures.

That was the first place I tried and they denied us hard! We even asked if we could just use the wrap-around porch for the ceremony, and they said absolutely not. I was super bummed. I think its kind of crappy on their part because it would be a nice donation to the museum and not much of a bother to just have chairs set on the porch for an hour. We even asked if we could use the side deck and if guests could be in the grass area but the answer was still no.

So if you have an "In" or a potential way around this please let me know! :)

The State said we could use the capitol grounds but not the building, potential rain could put a literal damper on that idea.
