LOCATION TO BOOK: With its dramatic mountain vistas, Stowe Mountain Lodge is a powerful place to wed: “There’s a lot to be said about couples getting married on what is essentially a sheet of rock,” Jeffries-Dwyer says. “Not only is there charm and beauty — it also signifies stability and security.”
