Riverside Farm is a beautiful wedding venue in Vermont that offers a dreamy setting for a wedding. Located in Pittsfield, Vermont, Riverside Farm is a historic site for over 200 years. It started as a working farm, and over the years, it has evolved into the ultimate location for rustic and elegant weddings.

When you choose Riverside Farm for your wedding, you're picking a place that has everything you need for a quintessentially Vermont wedding day. The venue offers different spaces for getting ready, ceremonies, and receptions.

• Getting Ready: Riverside Farm has countless lovely spaces for you and your wedding party to get ready. The Cottage is a cozy and comfortable space. It has large mirrors and great lighting for hair and makeup. The Cabin is another excellent spot to relax and prepare. You can also get ready in the Red Barn, which is my favorite spot. The light is gorgeous there, and I love how the polished wood floors reflect warm light.
• Ceremonies: Riverside Farm offers several options for your wedding ceremony. The Wedding Tree is a beautiful outdoor spot with just one tall, full tree as a backdrop. The tree provides natural shade, making it just right for a summer wedding. If you prefer an indoor ceremony, the Stonewell Barn is an excellent choice. With its rustic charm and elegant lighting, it creates a romantic atmosphere for your vows.
• Receptions: Riverside Farm offers fantastic reception spaces to celebrate with your family and friends. Stonewell Barn, my personal favorite is a large, open space with high ceilings and beautiful wooden beams.

Riverside Farm has many stunning portrait locations for your wedding pictures. Here are five of our favorite locations at the venue:

1. The Wedding Tree: This lovely tree is not only appropriate for your ceremony but also provides an excellent backdrop for your wedding photos. It's an especially picturesque place for wedding party and family photos.

2. The Covered Bridge: The charming covered bridge on the property is a classic Vermont feature and an ideal spot for romantic photos. I really love it here in the winter!

3. The Red Barn: The Red Barn exterior is a fantastic location for group shots and fun, casual photos. The red color pops SO well against the surrounding foliage, especially in the fall months.

4. The Meadows: The lush green meadows surrounding the farm offer limitless settings for your wedding pictures. I love wandering the paths and finding new, gorgeous locations to photograph.

5. The Stonewell Barn: The rustic and elegant interior of the Stonewell Barn is especially lovely right before receptions for capturing intimate moments with your new spouse. It's also a great spot to step outside at sunset for additional photos.
