Couple’s Testimonial:
"We absolutely loved our destination wedding experience with Vermont Bed and Breakfast at Russell Young Farm. For our wedding, I had envisioned mountains views in a country setting with a small pond and dock. I thought of fields of wild flowers and a vibrant green lawn for an alfresco dinner. I also wanted to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible and dreamed of warm evening fire with Adirondack chairs for star gazing.
In general I was looking for something rural, comfortable, and classy to make a lasting impression in our memories. Upon finding the Vermont Bed and Breakfast at Russell Young Farm, I looked no further. The beautiful setting, flower gardens, and quiet location blew me away- sight unseen. They checked all the boxes! Since I planned the wedding from nearly 2,000 miles way, Carin's recommendations for a flower farmer florist, yoga instructor, and hair stylist were spot on. The locally sourced farm to table dinner Carin and her team prepared was truly a highlight. It was absolutely delectable and so very elegantly presented.
I cannot express in words the level of gratitude I have for Carin, Luke and their incredible hospitality team. They thought of every detail and far exceeded our expectations. We will never forgot our experience at Vermont Bed and Breakfast at Russell Young Farm and look forward to visiting time and again for years to come."
