The Colonel Williams

The Colonel Williams is a historic country inn and distinctive event venue in Marlboro, Vermont, set across nine acres of meadows, woodland and open grounds. Its heritage buildings, including an eighteenth-century farmhouse and a characterful barn, create an atmospheric backdrop for weddings, elopements, private celebrations and intimate gatherings.

The venue offers a flexible range of wedding options, from simple elopements and micro weddings for a handful of guests to larger barn celebrations for approximately 130 people, with capacity for up to 150 depending on the layout and food service. Couples can choose from set packages or work with the team to create a more tailored celebration. Services may include ceremony and reception space, planning and coordination, tables, chairs, linens, china, decorative items, lighting, bar staff and accommodation in the wedding suite.

For smaller celebrations, the inn provides packages that can include an officiant, bouquets or buttonholes, welcome gifts, dinner, dessert, music and décor. The venue can also support rehearsal dinners, cocktail hours, bar arrangements, lawn games, fire pit moments and other personal touches. Organisers are welcome to discuss preferred suppliers and bespoke requirements with the team.

Alongside its event offering, The Colonel Williams provides bed and breakfast accommodation, making it suitable for multi-day weddings, family gatherings and relaxed retreats. Guests can enjoy private en-suite rooms, breakfast and the peaceful rural setting, while organisers benefit from a venue with historic character, overnight options and hands-on support throughout the planning process. The property is also available for private hire, subject to arrangements and availability.
