  • We had our wedding at The Montpelier Center for Arts & Education on July 1, 2023! It was beautiful and Vickie and the staff were so wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. As our ceremony was about to begin, a huge storm blew in, and we were able to move our ceremony into the ballroom/reception space. It was beautiful! Our guests loved that they could spread out in the hallway to talk and still see the reception and feel part of it because of the beautiful windows. The kitchen was amazing for our caterers! Everything was absolutely perfect and we wouldn't change a thing!
