DesMarais Farm – Brandon, Vermont’s Newest Wedding Venue
It’s been a cold and dreary day here in Vermont (sadly sans snow). So let’s flash back to last July when we spent the afternoon exploring DesMarais Farm which is just down the road from our studio in Brandon, Vermont. They opened as a Vermont wedding venue in 2021 and are definitely worth touring if you’re looking for stunning vistas and New England charm. The gardens are ideal for first looks and intimate portraits of our couples. The sweeping landscapes provide the perfect backdrop for everything else.
One of the things I love most about what Lyn and Jim DesMarais have done with the property, is that they are actively managing it as an organic farm and wildlife sanctuary. And if all that’s not enough to entice you to check out this enchanting wedding venue, they “sweeten” the deal by keeping bees! In turn, creating the perfect memento for your wedding guests.
