Travel
We’re so excited to welcome you to Vermont for our wedding weekend! Burke and St. Johnsbury are nestled in the Northeast Kingdom — a beautiful (and slightly remote) part of the state. A little planning goes a long way, so we’ve included options below to help you get here smoothly.
Accommodations:
We've arranged a room bloc for discounted accommodations at the Burke Mountain Hotel, where our reception is being held.
The hotel offers a variety of accommodation options, ranging from studios to three-bedroom suites, making it a great option whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with family and friends.
The room block discount is available for the wedding weekend (Saturday, May 29 through Monday, May 31, 2027). If you wish to arrive earlier or stay later, you can still use our room block discount, but you must book by phone.
HOW TO BOOK:
Book online: Use this link, which already has the wedding dates and group code applied.
Book by phone: Call 866-966-4820 and mention the "LaLonde Pentek Wedding" room block or provide the group code LPWEDD.

Burke Mountain Hotel & Conference Center
Perched high on Burke Mountain, the Burke Mountain Hotel offers sweeping mountain views and fresh Vermont air in every direction. It’s the perfect home base for our special weekend.
Rooms range from cozy studios to spacious three-bedroom suites, many with kitchenettes and/or fireplaces.
Guests can enjoy the seasonal outdoor pool, hot tub, fitness center, arcade, and terrace overlooking the mountains. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel.
For the adventurous, the hotel offers on-site downhill mountain biking, and you’re just minutes from the renowned Kingdom Trails network. Hiking trails are right outside your door, and Lake Willoughby (about 30 minutes away) offers kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, and stunning views.
While you’re in the area, you can also visit Dog Mountain in St. Johnsbury, explore the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium, or simply enjoy the scenic charm of the Northeast Kingdom.
We hope you’ll make a weekend of it and experience a little bit of Vermont while you’re here.
