Your wedding day will create memories for you to treasure for the rest of your life! Everything should work together to make it a joyous and festive occasion, full of harmony and rich in symbolism.

If ever there were a perfect spot to host a wedding, this is it! The mansion is gorgeous — after all, it was built by Silas Griffith, the "Lumber King" and Vermont's first millionaire. The mansion is romantic — Silas built it in 1891 as a wedding gift for Katherine, his new bride. Silas' love for Katherine is expressed throughout the mansion, especially in its beautifully hand-crafted woodwork. The entire estate rests on 11 acres of rolling meadow, with spectacular 360-degree mountain views, in the idyllic village of Danby — quintessential Vermont! What a wonderful place to begin your new life together!

So, where do you want to be married? If you want an outdoors wedding, you can be married on the hilltop of the meadow, in our open-to-the-sky gazebo or, in case of rain, on our big covered front porch. If you prefer an indoors wedding, we have several gathering rooms that are ideal. For smaller weddings, with 25 or fewer persons in attendance, our favorite is the beautiful Parlor, with live music performed in the adjoining Music Room. Or, a larger crowd could assemble in the spacious Great Room, with the bride and groom exchanging vows in the elegant Dining Room.

If you want a church wedding, we would be happy to reserve your date in the quaint 1831 Congregational Church (pictured above) just across the street. Many of our brides dress in the Inn, descend the grand staircase, and process up the steps to the chapel. A Roman Catholic Church is a short walk down the street, but arrangements must be made through the Diocese of Vermont well in advance of the wedding date.

We strongly recommend that you try to reserve the entire inn for your wedding weekend. By doing this, you free us to concentrate totally on meeting your needs and the needs of your guests. Thus, you will be able to relax, knowing that every detail has been attended to, enjoy your guests, and savor the moment. Dinners, receptions, cake, music, ministers, flowers, pictures — we do it all for you, letting you relax and enjoy the biggest day of your life. Best of all, you don't need to be the daughter or son of a millionaire to be married at the Silas Griffith Inn! Give us a call and let us help you start planning your big day!
