Spring Mixer at :

🗓️ Wednesday, May 13
📍 The Tillerman, Bristol
🕔 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Walking into a room full of professionals can feel a little like the first day of school—but we promise, there’s no “cool kids’ table” here. 🤝

The VAWP community is only as strong as its members. Whether you’ve been in the Vermont wedding industry for twenty years or twenty minutes, our May 13 mixer at is for you.

We’re keeping things relaxed and low-pressure. No forced elevator pitches, just genuine people who want to see the Vermont wedding scene thrive.

First time attending? Look for a board member. We’d love to introduce you to a few people to get the conversation started.

Important Update for our VAWP Community:

We have made the difficult decision to cancel the April 1st Educational Seminar at The Old Lantern Inn due to lower-than-expected registration. All registration fees will be fully refunded to those who have already signed up.

But we still want to see you! 🥂

The Old Lantern has graciously offered to host a casual “Mix, Mingle & Meet” cocktail hour from 4:00–5:00 PM that same evening (April 1st). It’s a relaxed chance to connect with fellow Vermont wedding professionals and catch up before the season kicks off.

✨ Bonus: If you’d like to stay for dinner, The Old Lantern is offering 15% off for anyone attending the gathering.

If you think you might stop by, please send us a DM or let Julie Olson know so we can get a rough headcount. We hope to see you there!
