Reviews
"AWESOME venue with GREAT owners! We are a food truck & catering company (TRAIL BREAK taps + tacos) that is fortunate enough to book a handful of events down at the Henry House each season! The grounds are beautiful and the owners are accommodating to client and vendor needs. Would highly recommend for any events!"
"Trying to come up with the correct words to describe this place is beyond difficult, as I don’t believe there are words in the English language that truly describe just how incredible The Henry House is. The first time I stepped foot on these beautiful, impeccably groomed grounds, I fell in love and knew I would one day get married here (and I did!) but it wasn’t until I met the Sklepowicz family that I realized just how special this place truly is. This family is among the kindest, most genuine family I have ever met. I am thankful to have crossed paths with such wonderful people. They have transformed this already beautiful location into an immaculate, breathtaking space to gather and make memories. I got married at The Henry House in August 2023. We were repeatedly told by our guests and vendors how incredibly beautiful the venue was and that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. The Henry House staff and the Sklepowicz family were extremely helpful the day of the wedding - coordinating with vendors, asking questions, making sure everything was perfect for us. I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better wedding weekend! I could go on and on about this place but in order to realize just how extraordinary it is, you need to experience it for yourself. If you are looking for THE perfect wedding venue, look no further, for you have found it."
"We cannot recommend this venue enough. The space speaks for itself with its breathtaking scenery and landscape that the owners work so hard to create and maintain. We could not have pictured a more perfect place for our wedding; it was our every dream come true. In addition to the space itself, working with Rebecca and her family was more than we could have asked for. You can see their passion for hosting weddings through every part of the planning process. Rebecca is extremely responsive and easy to work with and the entire family was so accommodating and helpful when it came to visiting the venue and helping us feel confident and prepared leading up to wedding day. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have that perfect Vermont-style wedding."
"It’s hard to put in to words how amazing the Henry House is. But to highlight a few, Rebecca and her family are easy to communicate with and always responded to my endless questions and concerns in a timely fashion from start to finish. The entire family cares so much about the property and the couples that decide to get married here. The grounds are always kept pristine, so much so that you don’t need to add anything as it is already so beautiful! One of my guests even said, “this is the most stunning venue I’ve ever seen” and I couldn’t agree more! We stayed in both the Henry House and the Red Cottage for the entirety of the weekend. Both houses were welcoming, clean and perfect for our wedding party and family. This venue and family made our wedding, a dream come true. I still remember after our site visit when we were searching for a venue, my now husband, looked at me and said, “we are getting married here.” And I wouldn’t have had it any other way!"
"The Henry house is a unique and special place for a wedding. Between the main house and the guest house we were able to host our entire wedding party and immediate families for the weekend. It was nice to be able to spend so much time with them. We had our rehearsal dinner on the back patio which was so nice to be able to do. It was great to be able to spend the entire weekend there and not have to travel anywhere else. Unfortunately the actual day of the wedding turned out to be a rainy one and Tom constructed a birch harbor for us for under the tent that same day. Overall the entire family were great hosts. We had a wonderful time and so did all of our guests. I would highly recommend this location for a wedding."
