The Henry House

I’ve been trying to come up with what to say about our wedding weekend at the Henry House and part of me has been putting off writing this review because it feels like the closing chapter of one of the most special journeys my husband and I have embarked on and the other part of me is just at a complete loss for words for how incredible our time was there. Back in December 2020, as we began discussing our engagement, I started exploring local venues on Zola and stumbled upon The Henry House. To our amazement, it was right in North Bennington, and we had never even heard of it – a true hidden gem! In January 2021, we scheduled a tour and were instantly charmed, not only by the historic homestead but also by our fantastic tour guide, Tom Sklepowicz. Believe it or not, we fell so in love with the place that we booked it before we were even officially engaged! Unlike many wedding venues today that require setup and tear down in one day, The Henry House offered so much more. It provided a place for family and friends to stay for the entire weekend, which was an absolute blessing. Throughout the entire planning process, owner Rebecca proved to be extremely communicative and helpful. The Sklepowicz family was there every step of the way to ensure that our wedding weekend ran without a hitch. Our guests were truly in awe of the beautiful grounds, from the charming chapel in the woods to the perfect cocktail hour area on the upper patio, complete with an adorable corn crib converted into a bar. With a full bridal suite and a massive homestead, along with an additional red barn Airbnb to rent, there was plenty of room for our families and bridal parties, as well as space for both partners to get ready on the property. The option to host our rehearsal dinner and even a farewell event on the property was a bonus, and their extensive vendor lists helped us find the perfect teams to complete our special day. Our time at The Henry House was an absolute dream and an experience that we consider truly priceless. If you're wondering if this wedding venue is the right fit for you, trust us – it is! Even more amazing, during the off-season, you can rent the house or barn as Airbnb accommodations for a special way to reminisce about your day with family and friends. We are certainly planning to do this at some point!

We were married last year at The Henry House and it was the most amazing experience! Rebecca, the host, was so kind and accommodating. She recommended other vendors in the area and gave us an idea on what to expect during the planning process. Booking your wedding at The Henry House is like getting a venue, accommodations, and a personal wedding planner all in one! On the day of the wedding the property was immaculate and Rebecca and her family worked so hard to ensure we had the perfect day. We received so many compliments on the venue and how much fun everyone had! If you're looking for a venue with the capability to stay in a gorgeous historic home, look no further! Thank you Rebecca and family! -Gabbi and AJ Raskin

It’s hard to put in to words how amazing the Henry House is. But to highlight a few, Rebecca and her family are easy to communicate with and always responded to my endless questions and concerns in a timely fashion from start to finish. The entire family cares so much about the property and the couples that decide to get married here. The grounds are always kept pristine, so much so that you don’t need to add anything as it is already so beautiful! One of my guests even said, “this is the most stunning venue I’ve ever seen” and I couldn’t agree more! We stayed in both the Henry House and the Red Cottage for the entirety of the weekend. Both houses were welcoming, clean and perfect for our wedding party and family. This venue and family made our wedding, a dream come true. I still remember after our site visit when we were searching for a venue, my now husband, looked at me and said, “we are getting married here.” And I wouldn’t have had it any other way!

The Henry house is a unique and special place for a wedding. Between the main house and the guest house we were able to host our entire wedding party and immediate families for the weekend. It was nice to be able to spend so much time with them. We had our rehearsal dinner on the back patio which was so nice to be able to do. It was great to be able to spend the entire weekend there and not have to travel anywhere else. Unfortunately the actual day of the wedding turned out to be a rainy one and Tom constructed a birch harbor for us for under the tent that same day, which came out beautifully. Overall the entire family were great hosts. We had a wonderful time and so did all of our guests. I would highly recommend this location for a wedding.
