Something Blue

From sprawling lakes to rustic rivers, New England's gorgeous waterways are the perfect wedding backdrop.

Pond

Equinox Resort & Spa
Manchester Village, Vermont

Can’t decide between a waterfront or mountain-side celebration? At Equinox Resort & Spa, you can have both. Say “I do” outside the Pond Pavilion, a charming venue that offers serene water vistas and views of Vermont’s Green Mountains for up to 120 seated guests. It’s not all bucolic here, though: The 244-year-old hotel recently unveiled a multimillion-dollar makeover featuring 30 renovated town-houses—and with on-site amenities like the Land Rover Experience Driving School and a cushy spa (think: ultra-hydrating pedicures and white-clay body masks), you and your bridal party will definitely want to make a weekend out of it.
