Vermont Institute of Natural Science Overview

Use your celebration of love as an occasion to support the Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) and their mission to protect Vermont’s natural heritage and the environment. A perfectly romantic location for the green and eco-conscious couple, the VINS Nature Center offers a gorgeous, four-season venue for intimate gatherings and large celebrations. The center’s event spaces boast modern amenities while maintaining the integrity and beauty of the surrounding natural landscape.

Meanwhile you can explore the nature trails and pose for your formal portraits.
