From the reviews

We had our rehearsal & wedding here and stayed for a few nights. Our guests have not stopped raving about the venue! Our bridal party stayed at the Inn which was extremely convenient. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean and the upstairs balcony was breathtaking.

★★★★★ — Mackenzie, Sep 2023

Had my wedding here. Beautiful location and super easy to work with the staff. At the time of our wedding (July 2018), the caterer even worked with us in allowing us to provide our own food and beer menus. We provided some of our own recipes to the catering staff and they came out AMAZING.

★★★★★ — Brendon, Jan 2020

We recently had our wedding at the Valcour Inn and Boathouse, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, the professionalism and warmth of the staff made us feel at ease.

Getting married at Valcour Inn and Boathouse

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
