Favorite Moment During a Wedding: Standing with the bride right before she walks down the aisle and getting her ready to go, straightening her train and veil, etc. – it’s this very calm, quiet (yet nervous for her) moment that I totally savor after building a relationship over the past 12-18 months!

Love Notes
Liz made us feel seen and taken care of!
My husband and I got married at Topnotch about a year ago and have done nothing but rave about our experience, so I am finally putting my thoughts into a review! We hosted our full wedding weekend at Topnotch — rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks, wedding, and farewell brunch — and it was all just lovely. Topnotch has several different event spaces that we were able to utilize based on our needs for the different events. There is even another event space (which I believe can be used for smaller weddings) that we used for our first look, private vows, and bridal party photos. Sufficed to say, whatever your needs are for your wedding weekend, Topnotch has you covered. Beyond just having beautiful, functional facilities though, Topnotch also has an absolutely incredible wedding coordinator. From our very first phone call with her, Liz made us feel seen and taken care of. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, connected us with some incredible vendors that reflected our taste and vision, and was just an amazing resource throughout the whole planning process. And of course, she was just fantastic on the day of the wedding. We ended up getting rain during the ceremony, but Liz was able to pivot flawlessly from having the ceremony in a field next to the reception tent to having it in our back-up tent. Liz and the whole Topnotch staff were so great to work with, the food was delicious, and the venue so nicely showcased the beauty of Vermont… I could truly go on and on! I hope we have another opportunity to host an event there in the future!
