The Black Bear Inn is the perfect Vermont getaway to host your Wedding. We specialize in ceremonies of 30 people or less; this allows us to focus our attention on you and your very special day.

All of our packages include a marriage license, ceremony officiant, two nights lodging, and meals for the couple. Choose a package below that fits your needs and budget, or let us help you to create a customized package. Also ask us about receptions and dinners for groups of 30 or less.

Contact Jill, in order for her to assist you with your needs from scheduling to floral and travel arrangements. We will also assist you with Vermont's simple marriage license application process, which does not require birth certificates or that the couple apply in-person.
