The Woodstock Inn is a really great resort located in the idyllic Woodstock, VT. This town is a touristy location but it cater's to everyone stereotypical ideas about a chic Vermont town without being too obnoxious. There are a ton of cute shops and old churches in town and it is a lot of fun to walk around. We visited the inn and I really loved the feel right when you walk in. There is a large wood burning fireplace that burns small trees instead of logs due to its' size. Everything is decorated country chic and the staff is attentive right as you walk through the door. They have multiple outdoor ceremony spaces, one in the front of the inn and one in the back. I like the back space more because it was more secluded but both were pretty. They have some off site locations for receptions of smaller parties, but I look at the two large onsite indoor spaces. One is the Rockafeller room which is on the first floor and has great large floor to ceiling windows and can hold 160 but less with a dance floor. I liked the room but it was laid out weird and guests of the inn will walk right by your cocktail hour as it is outside the room. I didn't get a feeling of privacy even though they assured me they would rope it off so people didn't actually walk into the cocktail hour there still wouldn't be a visual barrier. Downstairs is the ballroom which opens out into the courtyard for cocktail hour, which was great but the ballroom has no windows and a low ceiling. It was clean and nice but just so typical and stuffy. The hall outside the ballroom has great stonework and it gorgeous but the ballroom failed to impress me. We chose not to go with The Woodstock Inn because we didn't really love any of the indoor spaces and didn't want to compromise for the price we were going to pay. I would suggest this venue for someone who loved the rustic chic feeling and either has a smaller party (125 or less) or doesn't mind a typical ballroom in a very pretty Vermont town. Details below and happy hunting!
