“The Barn at Smugglers Notch is hands down the BEST place to get married.

We just tied the knot there on August 2, 2025, and the entire day was nothing short of perfect. Jamie, Jen, and Steve were incredible—supporting us every step of the way and making the planning process smooth, fun, and stress-free. Jamie is the go-to person; she ensured everything ran flawlessly. She guided us through every detail, and we genuinely couldn’t have had such a wonderful day without her and the amazing team behind her.

We’re originally from the Northeast but currently live in California, so planning from out of state was daunting at first. But Jamie was beyond accommodating—hopping on 8 PM EST calls so we could chat after work on the West Coast. That level of flexibility and care made all the difference.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The Sugar Snap team? FANTASTIC. Our guests raved about the food—every bite was delicious.

Getting ready at the venue in the morning was such a special experience. The flow of the day was seamless, and staying onsite made everything so much easier. One of my favorite memories was peeking out from the upstairs windows with my bridesmaids, watching our guests arrive and get seated. It was such a precious moment.

I also did a first look in the bridal suite with my dad, brother, and grandparents—it was everything I hoped it would be. The bridal suite is a 10/10. My seven bridesmaids and I had plenty of space and the best time getting ready together.

If you’re considering this venue—DO IT. From day one of planning to the final sendoff, everything was truly perfect. It was the best day of our lives, and we’re so grateful to everyone who made it happen”

A Magical Experience at Edson Hill Manor!

We recently stayed overnight at Edson Hill Manor to celebrate my daughter’s bridal shower, and it was truly beyond amazing. From start to finish, everything was remarkably special. The team at Edson Hill went above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience — cozy, warm, elegant, and absolutely stunning in every way.

We enjoyed a beautiful dinner the evening before, set against the backdrop of the manor’s picturesque views and timeless charm. The food was outstanding, and the atmosphere was both intimate and sophisticated.

The day of the bridal shower was simply magical. We had originally planned to host it indoors, but thanks to the beautiful weather, the staff was more than happy to move everything outdoors. It couldn’t have been more perfect. Surrounded by the lush landscape and crisp Vermont air, the setting was breathtaking.

We chose a special blue and white theme, and I brought in fresh florals to complement the decor. The staff embraced the theme with care and enthusiasm — every detail was executed flawlessly. All hands were on deck to bring our vision to life, and the result was an elegant celebration that exceeded all expectations.

From the personal touches to the warm hospitality, everything reflected the heart and soul of Edson Hill Manor. Their team made us feel not only welcome but truly cared for — every moment was meaningful and memorable.

Edson Hill Manor is a rare gem — combining Vermont charm with refined luxury. I’m so grateful to the entire team for making my daughter’s bridal shower an event we’ll treasure forever. I truly hope to return soon for another extraordinary experience.”
