Use your celebration of love as an occasion to support the Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) and their mission to protect Vermont’s natural heritage and the environment. A perfectly romantic location for the green and eco-conscious couple, the VINS Nature Center offers a gorgeous, four-season venue for intimate gatherings and large celebrations. The center’s event spaces boast modern amenities while maintaining the integrity and beauty of the surrounding natural landscape. Pledge your love in a romantic outdoor ceremony with lush greenery as your backdrop. Opt for an alternative to the traditional cocktail hour and treat your guests to a special nature program and hands-on presentations. Meanwhile you can explore the nature trails and pose for your formal portraits. The celebration continues with dinner and dancing in either the center’s Pavilion or a charming, fully enclosed, event tent. The friendly and experienced event staff is ready to assist you with planning the details of this once-in-a-lifetime event.
