Private celebrations in the heart of Middlebury, Vermont

At Swift House Inn, we open our doors to only a handful of weddings each year, reserving our spaces for gatherings that feel intimate, exclusive, and beautifully unhurried. Here, celebration is less spectacle and more atmosphere, muted light in historic rooms, the hush of Vermont air through open windows, the warmth of a table set for those who matter most.

Each wedding is thoughtfully scaled and deeply rooted in hospitality, shaped around exceptional food, layered ambiance, and the quiet rituals that make a day unforgettable.

Every tier includes dedicated coordination and full access to the inn’s distinctive amenities, allowing you and your guests to settle in, exhale, and savor the weekend as it unfolds.
