From the reviews

Our daughter and her fiancee got married at the Ferry Watch Inn last weekend. We are still floating on air. Pastoral, serene, lush green grass, resplendent trees, incredibly set right beside Lake Champlain! The nearby barn is perfect for dinner and/or wedding reception. Plenty of room for a tent for band.

★★★★★ — Catherine, Jul 2023

We visited Ferry Watch Inn for a wedding, and stayed at a house on the island. The location is fantastic, with a gorgeous waterside view. Fantastically rustic, the country barn setting makes for a peaceful and yet perfect centerpiece to this fine establishment. Can't wait for the next wedding!

★★★★★ — A, Jun 2017

Absolutely gorgeous property and an incredible spot for a wedding! We couldn’t have imagined our wedding anywhere else. The owners, Marc, Heather and Sally are so friendly, kind and easy to work with!

Getting married at Ferry Watch Inn - Historic Lakefront Wedding Venue

Ferry Watch Inn - Historic Lakefront Wedding Venue comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
