Vermont Wedding Venues III: The Webster Barn at Sterling Meadows Farm, Hyde Park, Vermont

The Webster Barn at Sterling Meadows Farm is another one of my favorite Vermont Wedding Venues. It is conveniently close to all the amenities of Hyde Park (Dunkin' Donuts - you'll appreciate it once you get here, it's one of the few in the area) and yet, once you're on the property, you are surrounded by open fields, woods in the distance and our spectacular mountains. Just fantastic for pictures.

The only downside from a photographer's standpoint is that the ceremony site provides absolutely no shade. Direct sunlight is incredibly harsh, especially around noon when the sun is at its highest point. A late afternoon ceremony at this property is incredibly stunning whereas having your ceremony at "high noon" is not something I would recommend.

I suggest that you check out this cool website - This handy
Vermont Sunset Sunrise Calender gives you the times of sunrise/sunset for a fairly good selection of Vermont towns for the entire year.
The "golden hour" at The Webstern Barn is unsurpassed for gorgeous portraits - note that the couple's portraits below all were taken at that magic hour.

Now on to the reception site. It is rustic and will provide the "quintessential Vermont" backdrop for your Vermont Country Wedding.

The barn is perfect for receptions. Plenty of space for tables, a band, a buffet, cake buffet (!) and dancing.





Included in the site rental is the use of the farm house. The upstairs is perfect for a bridal party of 4-5 to get ready:
