We used the Montpelier Center as the reception venue for our New Years Eve wedding. This venue may be a little bit of a drive for some, but the overall environmental aesthetics, affordability, and their willingness to accommodate your event needs makes it all well worth the drive. When we first went to the Montpelier Center to discuss our [we thought at the time] somewhat crazy idea of having a NYE wedding, they were nothing but excited at this potential wedding event. Theresa, the current events coordinator, was flexible and revised the traditional event contract to allow us to continue our reception past the typical "must leave by" time due to it being NYE. Also, they accommodated our decorating needs to allow us to start setting up the space two days before the event! Now of course, depending on the time of year and day of your reception, you may not be able to get the same accommodations we received, but I share this to demonstrate just how friendly and responsive Theresa is to try to ensure that the space meets your event and set-up needs. It's beautiful, affordable, flexible, and is just lovely overall. We took all first look and wedding party pictures outside the center (where in warmer weather you could have your ceremony) before our church ceremony not far away, and they turned out beautifully. I highly recommend this venue.

This venue was absolutely amazing! Our reception was held here (the ceremony was at a church nearby). The staff was wonderful and extremely helpful, and the outside gardens are gorgeous. You can't beat this venue for the money.

The place was beautiful! You get so much for your money at this place. The staff is also so friendly. There was so much space for our guest. All the open space and windows made everything so nice. It was easy to get around and see everyone. The stage was perfect for our DJ. The dance floor was great. There is a nice kitchen space and dance studio. We also used a tv room for all the kids to hang out in. 12 hours of rental time and all the chairs and tables included. We paid under $2,000.00. Our guest loved this place.
