We fell in love with The Barn the moment we started searching for wedding venues in Vermont after getting engaged. We were obsessed with the modern barn style, views of Mount Mansfield, and stunning interior of the venue. The added bonus was how wonderful Jenn, Jamie, & Steve were throughout the entire planning process and execution of our special day. They always answered emails quickly, went above and beyond to make any special requests happen, and truly took care of everything on the day off so we did not have to. My husband Steve and I were stress free on our wedding day thanks to them. Every single guest commented how gorgeous of a venue it was and how spectacular of an event it turned out to be. Don't hesitate in choosing this venue for your venue. SO. WORTH IT.

Do you want to have your wedding guests tell you "this is the BEST wedding we've ever been to"? Read below:When my wife and I took a tour of this stunning venue (a year and a half ago), we were not only blown away by the location, but we immediately felt welcomed with open arms. We knew right away that this was going to be where we'd have our wedding day.The professionalism put on display by this venue is second to none. They set us up for the utmost success and that carried on throughout all the days leading up to our wedding day -- for instance, putting us in contact with some of the best vendors to work with.Our wedding day was nothing short of perfection and Jenn, Steve, and Jamie played a major role in that. They would constantly be working behind the scenes to make sure our day ran smoothly and if anything came up/if they needed us somewhere, they’d take care of it in a polite and professional manner. We never felt rushed or stressed on the biggest day of our life and we couldn’t thank this team of phenomenal people enough for providing such a breath of fresh air on our day of celebration.They made sure our day was special — it was their number one priority, and we felt that. Not only will The Barn at Smugglers’ Notch hold a special place in our hearts, but we consider Jenn, Steve, and Jamie a part of our family because of how they made these past few years so enjoyable.We’d recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. The venue is picture-perfect and is run by the most reliable team of incredible people you could ever ask for. If we could, we'd get married all over again just to relive this incredible experience!

My husband and I had our wedding at the Barn this past September. We couldn’t recommend this venue enough! Jenn, Jamie, and Steve are the most helpful, accommodating, and genuine team you could ask for on your wedding day and throughout the process as a whole. From start to finish, they helped us figure out all of the details and keep us on track with planning. The planning meeting with Jenn a few months before the wedding was a very nice and super helpful touch, as well as the call the week before! They also blew us away with their day of coordination, from saving us by finding linens (our caterers linens didn’t come), decorating the WHOLE venue with our fake flower order, and even fixing my bustle, it definitely doesn’t go unnoticed. Steve was super helpful with the bar and tailoring our package to what we were looking for and needed. Aside from the amazing venue owners and staff, the barn itself is GORGEOUS. Inside to out, from the bright and airy wood features inside to the amazing mountain back drop and patio for cocktail hour, our guests (and ourselves) were blown away. We are still getting compliments today. THANK YOU!

Kiley and I just had the most amazing weekend getting married at the barn last week. From the very start Jenn, Jamie and Steve were extremely helpful with the many different questions and scenarios we threw at them. We felt confident through out the whole process that Jenn and Jamie were going to carry out the wedding day of our dreams and they did exactly that. We had a rainy wedding day and they were able to transition our reception area into the ceremony space so quickly. The timeline of the day was perfectly followed with reminders from Jenn and Jamie and it could not have been a better day. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I cannot recommend enough!

We recently had our wedding at the barn in July and couldn't have asked for a better location and people to work with! Jenn, Jamie and Steve were so easy to work with and made sure everything went smoothly on the day of. They were responsive and gave great recommendations in the year leading up to the event. On the day of, it unfortunately rained but the team did an amazing job of moving the ceremony inside and making it look beautiful. We received so many compliments about the venue and location. I'd definitely recommend the Barn at Smugglers' Notch!

This past weekend we had my daughter's wedding at The Barn and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jamie, Jenn, and Steve! From beginning to end they were outstanding to work with. They listened to everything we envisioned and provided us with the support to make it all happen. From our bourbon bar (which was amazing) to our seating and decor...every detail right down to the timeline and coordinating of all the moving parts were handled, it was so smooth and seamless and stress free. It was so beautiful and truly spectacular. We are so grateful! Two side notes - they have some preferred vendors to recommend - OMG our caterer, DJ, and floral ladies were amazing! Now we know first hand all the reasons why they are "preferred!" Second - the dance floor was perfect and boy did we all dance the night away! :)

The Barn at Smugglers’ Notch completely blew our expectations out of the water! Wedding planning seemed overwhelming to us and we were considering getting a wedding planner, but with Jenn, Jamie, and Steve behind us helping us to organize, our perfect wedding was completely manageable. They always responded instantly, whenever we had a question no matter what the question was. For instance, they even measured the dance floor for us to ensure our choreographed swing dance would work with the space! We knew absolutely nothing about wedding planning, but the Barn set us in the right direction with plenty of excellent vendors who were familiar with the Barn’s operations and ways of working. We browsed the list of vendors and chose the ones we liked the style of the most.The setting for our early June wedding was jaw-droppingly gorgeous. The venue is nestled right in the valley of a stunning series of mountains which create the most wonderful backdrop. Our guests from all over the country and the world were amazed by the beauty of the Green Mountains. In addition, there is a field of wildflowers just beyond the arbor that grows and evolves throughout the wedding season. The purple lupins for our June wedding added a great pop of color.The wedding day itself was seamless. Jen keeps you on the schedule you all work together to set, and made sure that your only focus is to get ready for the ceremony and reception. She helps coordinate all aspects such as table, setup, vendor arrival, flow of events, decor, etc. If you supply the elements and share your inspiration, she will help execute!Our guests were also very impressed with the quality of the Sugarsnap catering; while they are the exclusive catering company that collaborates with the Barn, they do an excellent job and you cannot go wrong with any of their options for appetizers, meals, and desserts. The variety of food ranges from comfort, classics, to inspired creations, all of which taste great! They even held a group tasting at the Barn just before the wedding season where we met so many other couples getting married at there as well! The bar itself at the Barn was highly customizable and suited our needs perfectly.We heard from countless guests that this was one of the most fun and beautiful weddings they have ever been to, and we firmly believe a big part of that was both the majestic setting as mentioned and also the fun vibe and sophisticated decor of the indoor venue. The space becomes whatever you dream it can be. It served many purposes well, including allowing for our guests to view the central first dance, have an elegant dinner, hear all of the toasts, and ultimately, participate in an extremely fun dance party atmosphere. All in all, we shared the sentiment of our guests and just felt so incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to be married at the Barn at Smugglers’ Notch!Ben and Sarah Zorach

I am still in awe of this perfect, beautiful wedding venue! Our daughter Jenny’s wedding day was everything she hoped it would be, thanks in large part to Jamie, Jenn and Steve. I cannot adequately express how smoothly this day went, relieving our family of any kind of stress on this important day. Everything was expertly managed and Jamie, Jenn and Steve consistently checked in to see if anyone needed anything. On top of that, they are the sweetest people! If you are looking for a beautiful wedding venue, delicious food, spectacular views, lovely outdoor seating areas and all of your expectations met and then exceeded, have your wedding at The Barn at Smugglers Notch. Perfect.

I cannot describe how incredible our day was - the beauty of the venue, the spot-on coordination and “do anything that needs to be done” attitude of the venue coordinators Jen and Jaimie was amazing. I wouldn’t change anything about it! Worth every penny! Thank you again to the team at the barn for making our day so special.

We recently had our wedding at the Barn and were blown away by the overall experience! The Barn is in a beautiful location surrounded by wildflowers, rolling green hills, and one of the most stunning and unique views of Mount Mansfield, capturing a true Vermont landscape. The Barn property is well-kept and private. The ceremony site is beautiful, with an amazing backdrop, a fantastic patio that helps create that indoor-outdoor experience, and a sprawling lawn. The Barn itself is very bright and filled with natural light, even on a cloudy day. The decor (Farmtables, chairs, doors, exposed beams) provide a Vermont chic vibe.Jenn, Jamie, and Steve were phenomenal to work with. They put in such hard work to make our wedding personal and special. They carried out our vision with every detail. They are highly organized, responsive (quick to reply to calls, emails, text), and positive. From the moment we booked to our wedding day, they made the planning process incredibly smooth and fun. The Barn works with and recommends a fantastic group of local vendors (Jesse Schloff Photography, Heaven Scent floral, Wedding DJVT, and Sugar Snap).On our wedding day, the Barn made the day stress-free by being extremely attentive, organized, positive, and excited. They were incredibly flexible and responsive to our needs and wants. We trusted the Barn to keep everything running smoothly and on time with very little management from us.From start to finish, the Barn was always accommodating: allowing us to do a personal tour of the venue, letting family in the area swing by to see the space, and being able to drop off decorations early and pick everything up a day later post-wedding. They were always willing to work with us and respond to our needs which was greatly appreciated as it was a destination for us.From the moment we spoke to Jenn and saw the Barn (Video tour), we knew this was the place we wanted to get married, and we were never disappointed along the way. The Barn is one of the most beautiful locations and venues for a wedding in Vermont! We couldn't recommend the Barn, Jenn, Steve, and Jamie more. We are so happy to be a part of the Barn family!

This is long overdue, but as I approach my 1-year wedding anniversary (wedding date was 07/09/22), I'm remembering how fortunate we were to have such a wonderful venue. It's a beautiful property with breathtaking views. The owners, Steve and Jenn, really made the planning process easy for us so we could simply step back and enjoy getting married.

I always enjoy photographing weddings at the Barn at Smuggs, and not just for the absolutely stunning mountain views. The owners take a lot of pride in their space, and it absolutely shows in everything they do - the care they put into maintaining the beautiful wildflower fields, their gorgeous interiors (their white walls are a photographer's dream!), as well as making sure their guests have everything they need. This is one of the few barn venues I'm always excited to shoot at, and I highly recommend it for hosting your wedding event!

We couldn’t have picked a better venue for our wedding. Not only was the location and facilities perfect, but Jenn and Steve (and all the Barn staff) were truly a pleasure to work with. They were responsive, they anticipated our needs, always available and organize and all their vendor recommendations were great. If you’re looking for an amazing venue with stunning views, then look no further than The Barn and Smugglers Notch.
