New York brides who want to beat New York prices recommend the Inn at Saxton's River, near the town of Brattleborough, Vermont. A wedding reception here runs about one-half to one-third of Manhattan prices, and the inn is just a four- to five-hour drive from the Big Apple.
Wedding facts
Getting married in Vermont is easy: no blood test, no waiting period, you don't even need ID. The only restriction is that out-of-state residents must get a license in the county in which they plan to marry.
Vermont residents must take out a license in the town in which they live but can marry anywhere in the state. The cost is only $16. For more information, call (802) 254-4541.
When to go
Perhaps the most scenic time to visit Vermont is during the fall foliage season from late September through early October. The weather at this time is pleasant but cool, with daytime temperatures in the 50s and 60s. Nighttime lows can dip into the 30s.
The summer is certainly another nice time to go, with temperatures in the 70s and low 80s. Winters can be downright arctic, with temperatures at night dipping near zero.
