I have officiated over 280 ceremonies throughout Northern and Central Vermont - from the summit of Jay Peak to rustic 'wedding barns' to historic inns to state parks to family backyards - and am willing to travel anywhere in Northern and Central Vermont ... but I will need to account for my travel time & mileage in my quote.
