When you first discover our Vermont Valley, you are struck with the beauty and serenity of our landscape - the quaint villages and beautiful barns, the awesome mountain views and flowing rivers. We are known for our fabulous skiing and our unique socially responsible businesses, characteristics that also make The Mad River Valley an ideal Vermont wedding destination.

Our natural beauty, strong sense of community and resort amenities have attracted a wealth of talented professionals in search of a more relaxed Vermont lifestyle. We have former executives running inns, creating culinary art and planning wedding celebrations. World-class photographers capture stolen wedding moments and creative florists design breathtaking arrangements, all in the bucolic peacefulness of Vermont.

The Mad River Valley Association of Wedding Professionals provides a venue for all of these talented professionals to come together to provide you with the perfect Vermont wedding experience. The camaraderie we share and the network we use enables us to exceed the level of service available in even the largest cities.

As the chair person of the Mad River Valley Wedding Professionals, I invite you to browse through our web site, learn all about the talented people that make up our incredible list of vendors and then, let us help you create the Vermont Wedding of your dreams.
