Paletta Mansion Weddings
Host an intimate wedding in a historic mansion surrounded by 14 acres of Burlington waterfront parkland.
Independent venue guide
An intimate mansion celebration with lakefront grounds
Paletta combines an intimate residential scale with multiple interior rooms, terraces and lakefront grounds. Wedding bookings include exclusive mansion use, preferred park use, wedding-party preparation rooms and an indoor ceremony alternative.
Unlike a single open ballroom, the mansion’s connected spaces can create different zones for dinner, cocktails and conversation. Review the floor plan in person and decide how music, speeches and dancing will be shared between rooms.
The venue’s outside-catering and no-tent policies affect the celebration format, so include them when comparing Paletta with larger ballroom or hotel venues.
