YOU’RE INVITED!
Sophie + Nathan’s
10 year anniversary
and recommitment celebration
(say that 5 times fast)
Please join us to celebrate ten years of love, partnership, and mucking about in the Green Mountains. We’ll have games, dancing, toasts galore, mountains of food and a really good time!
All the info
What should I wear?
Red Barn Gardens is, in fact, a barn and gardens (and a greenhouse and beautiful rolling fields). Please dress as your most authentic fabulous self while keeping in mind that weather in VT likes to play tricks, and we will be frolicking on uneven earth. Also we don’t want anyone to roll their ankle. Alternatively, you’re welcome to dress like Sophie and Nathan on an average day- grass stains and dirty work pants welcome!
Where should I stay?
The venue and our home is within 25 minutes of Burlington and just a few minutes from Williston center, both of which have many hotels- Courtyard Marriott is the closest to us and the venue. We are also compiling a list of local folks and neighbors who have rooms and guest houses to rent. AirBnB is an option, but please let us know if you would like us to put you directly in touch with someone to rent from and avoid the fees.
We also have camping available at our house- plenty of open space in the yard! Pitch your tent as close to the beehives as you dare! Someone can sleep in the hoophouse if they don’t mind the smell of late-season tomato plants! We have extra camping equipment if needed, just ask.
Please be aware that our party is at the very beginning of leaf peeping season, so book your accommodations soon! Let us know if we can help you get situated for the weekend.
What should i do in Vermont?
We hope you will spend the whole weekend with us! Vermont in early Fall is something to behold. Out-of-towners should stay tuned for a Friday evening pizza party invite. Scroll down for a list of our favorite activities and special spots.
Are you two getting married?
Not at this party!
lOOKING for a good time in Vermont?
Here are some of our recommendations for what to do and eat nearby:
Nature Walks and Hikes
Birds of Vermont Museum: A one-of-a-kind gem with a collection of hand carved wooden birds, tons of avian info, and beautiful walking trails. Conveniently located adjacent to the Audubon Center of Vermont, which has additional walking trails to explore.
Preston Pond Loop: An easy hike with breathtaking views at Libby’s Lookout. Way easier than Camel’s Hump, which will probably be packed this weekend but is worth the climb if you’re looking for a more strenuous hike with killer views.
Intervale Center trails: Home to Nathan’s People’s Farm, some of our favorite farms, and wide flat trails to stroll along the Winooski river.
Catamount Outdoor Family Center : Over 20 miles of walking, trail running and mountain biking!
Food and Drink
If it’s still warm out, get yourself a maple creemee! Red Hen in Middlesex makes the best, but Burlington Bay is a classic waterfront spot.
In Richmond, Sweet Simone’s is the local hot spot for fancy coffee, killer pastries, and Italian style sandwiches midday. Always crowded, always fun!
Pretend you’re Sophie and Nathan meeting up after a long day at work, and grab a flight of beers and a basket of fries at Burlington Beer Co. (conveniently located next to Zero Gravity, Switchback, and Citizen Cider if you are the pub crawling type!)
