My career was in event planning. I have planned 1,000's of wedding in the Chicagoland area. Have never ever been as satisfied as I was at Sandiwood Farms at our daughters wedding on 8.8.2020! We were hosted by the farms amazing family, amazing chef, and amazing farm. The hospitality was beyond perfect, the farm was beyond beautiful and there was just so much love given to our daughter and her husband I can't even explain it. Their wedding was in the middle of the pandemic and you would have never known. Perfect perfect perfect

It is hard for me to fully explain how central Sandiwood Farm was to making our little wedding the most beautiful and perfect day we could have ever imagined. I’m not the first to say that there is something magical about the farm, and as soon as you step onto it you can see why people feel that way. It is the overwhelming beauty of nature nurtured by a loving family and every bit of the beauty and love can be felt at the farm. But the real magic comes from Sara Schlosser, the owner of Sandiwood, and her kind and generous family. Sara was the most kind, patient, and flexible person to work with and she helped us navigate changing our original 150 person wedding dreams into an incredibly special and intimate ceremony and dinner, all outside and socially distanced, for a super small group. Details changed up until the last minute and since it was all very DIY, Sara and her family rolled up her sleeves and helped us with every detail. All of the flowers and most of the food came from th... Read moree farm and all of our guests fell in love with the farm as much as we did. At one point, Sara and her daughter Sandi (who is the owner of VT Harvest Catering and catered our dinner) came out to tell guests about the food and received an impromptu standing ovation! We couldn’t have done it without Sara and by the time the wedding came, I was so glad she was there to experience it with us because she had become such an important part of the day. The farm delivered with beautiful views, gorgeous flowers, perfect weather, the sweetest greenhouse dinner, incredible produce and food including maple syrup tapped on the farm as a gift for our guests, a breathtaking sunset, and the loving attentiveness of Sara, Bob, Kyle, and Sandi that made it all stress free and absolutely perfect. The farm comes with beautiful wood top tables, lots of farm-y seating, wood chairs, and more that made it easy to pull off our little last minute celebration. Sara knows everyone locally and gave us recommendations for every vendor. She is professional, generous, incredibly kind, and the keeper of the most beautiful wedding spot in VT. Visit Sandiwood - you will not be disappointed!

My husband and I had the most ✶magical✶ wedding of our DREAMS at the beautiful Sandiwood Farm this past August! When looking at venues, it was important to us to choose a place that was both meaningful and fitting for us; being the outdoorsy, gardening nature lovers we are - and being just 20 minutes down the road from were I grew up in rural Vermont - we knew we hit the jackpot the moment we visited the farm... not just because it ticked these boxes, but because there is something truly special about this place. (I think fairies might live there.) Where to begin! Sara and Bob, the farm owners, are absolutely wonderful. They are so kind and you can tell they genuinely care about your story as a couple and hosting your special day. Sara was so responsive to all my many, many emails the year leading up to our wedding, and so accommodating with all my special requests on the wedding day. The bouquets that Sara made for my bridesmaids and I were GORGEOUS!!! Honestly, they were somethin... Read moreg out of a bridal magazine. We were all blown away. My husband and I met backpacking in Greece and she beautifully incorporated olive leaves - which we used for table decor - into my bouquet and Sam's boutonniere. She also made the sweetest flower crowns for my maid of honor and our flower girl, which again were stunning!! Sara also offers a day-of wedding coordination service, which allowed me to completely relax and enjoy the day. There were so many little details she took care of for me, and she and Bob were so great making sure everything ran smoothly. Our gorgeous dinner was provided by their daughter, Sandi, who runs a farm-to-table style catering company out of Stowe called VT Harvest Catering (a lot of the food came right from the farm! ); not only was it delicious, but so beautiful - there were flowers in the salad! I simply can't rave enough about the food, or the beauty of this place... and neither can our guests! Sam's family and friends came over from England to meet my family and see Vermont for the first time, and we couldn't have imagined a more picturesque setting: the sweeping meadows and beautiful gardens, the mountain views lined by pine trees, the stone arch where we had our ceremony - with hay bale seating set up by Sara and Bob - and the most special greenhouse where we had our reception. Guests danced their hearts out under the bistro-lit sailcloth tent provided by VT Tent Co. and enjoyed the fire pit that Bob got going after the most amazing sunset! * * * Many of our guests said it was the best / most special wedding they'd ever been to. One of our guests even wrote us a card in response to our thank you card to them simply because they had to rave about it! There was magic in the air... Sandiwood will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we can't thank Sara & Bob enough for hosting our most magical wedding celebration. I dreamt of my wedding day since I was a little girl, and our wedding at Sandiwood Farm was beyond my dreams in every way. ♡ *Photos by Meg Haley Photographs

I would highly recommend Sandiwood for your wedding (or any other event). Our daughter, Lydia, was married there in July 2018. She and her fiancé, Andreas, were living in Germany and chose Sandiwood sight unseen relying on her mother’s and Matron of Honor’s recommendation. They were unable to access Sandiwood’s website from Germany’s internet connections. Having grown up in Vermont, Lydia wanted a pastoral Vermont venue. Sandiwood fulfilled all her requirements. It was a rustic, serene, gorgeous setting with a continuous and refreshing light breeze. The stone arch added charming appeal to the ceremony. The greenhouse provided an intimate setting for the dinner and the grounds allowed Lydia and Andreas to include recreational aspects of a German wedding for the American guests. Sara and Bob were easy to work with. They made sure that everything leading up to and including the day of the wedding, ran smoothly. They made helpful suggestions, shared with us things that worke... Read mored for other weddings, and never pushed their own agenda. Sara provided the lovely flowers for the bridal party from her organic flower beds. We had guests from Germany, China, and at least a dozen US states. The guests and the wedding party raved about the outstanding food, that was catered by Sara and Bob’s daughter, Sandi, from VT Harvest Catering. Sandi served organic greens grown on the farm and used as much locally sourced food as possible. On a personal note, I wish I could go back and relive our daughter’s wedding day because everything was so magical, at Sandiwood. Judy Bickford

Beautiful venue! Sara and Bob were so helpful making sure we had a perfect event!

Sandiwood Farm is absolutely gorgeous - If you are looking for a wonderfully fun farm wedding, a beautiful view, and easy planning with friendly and professional venue owners, this is where you want to get married! My husband and I could not have asked for a better place to spend our special day. Working with Sara and Bob Schlosser was fantastic and they have the most fabulous piece of land in Wolcott, VT - They genuinely want you to have the best night of your life and will work with you to create that. I would do it again in a heartbeat. 5 out of 5!

We had our dream wedding at Sandiwood Farm at the end of June 2016, and cannot say enough good things about our beautiful venue. Sandiwood Farm is a working organic farm, so the food, produce, and flowers are as fresh, beautiful, and delicious as they come. Sara and Bob (the owners) helped us have the most magical day! The farm is a gorgeous venue for lovers of nature, tranquility, mountains, fun, and amazing local food. Sandiwood Farm has a beautiful greenhouse, which was specifically designed to host events, such as farm-to-table dinners or wedding receptions, in either rain or shine. The farm has acres of organic vegetable plots, flower gardens, operating greenhouses, and acres of sugar maple trees. Sara always responded promptly to all my emails and questions, and she was very accommodating in helping to create our vision for the day. She grew some exquisite pale pink peonies, which I used for my bouquet. Sara is an experienced and talented flower farmer and floral arranger. S... Read moreara and Bob were available during set up the day before our wedding, and helped ensure that everything ran smoothly during our celebration. Chef Sandi of Vermont Harvest Catering, worked with us to create a delicious and personalized menu, with as much local and Sandiwood Farm ingredients as possible. Our guests (and their taste buds) were blown away. The food was delicious and looked beautiful too. The sunset over the mountains was spectacular, and we enjoyed watching the lightning bugs light up the surrounding fields, mirroring the stars. Bob had our evening campfire blazing before we even knew it, and soon our guests were roasting marshmallows over the flames. We took advantage of Sandiwood Farm's house-made maple syrup for wedding favors. To top off our perfect day, Bob and Sara offered camping on their property, so we invited our guests to bring their tents for a rustic camping experience in the fields. It was our perfect day, and we are so grateful to Sandiwood Farm.
