Gina Sent on 11/02/2024Beautiful, Seamless, Friendly, professional!
The Barn at Smugglers Notch knows how to execute a perfect wedding. Working with Jamie was a dream, she helped me all year with anything I needed… from what size table runners I needed to how I can fit my mother’s requested cookie table! I felt at ease through my whole planning process thanks to her and her team. They also have the BEST vendor recommendations and will also source others for you if needed. The venue is clean and beautiful, you barely need to add decorations because of just how stunning the barn and their property is on its own. The wedding day was also so seamless I didn’t have to do, think, or even worry about 1...The Barn at Smugglers' Notch's reply:
Thank you Gina, it was such a pleasure to host your special day! From our entire team, "Cento Anni". 100 years of health, love and happiness! -

Casey Sent on 10/26/2024Beautiful,
We. Love. The. Barn! I seriously can't recommend the Barn enough- it's hard to put into words how much I loved my wedding day thanks to this venue.
The wedding went absolutley PERFECT and we didn't have to lift a finger! Jamie, Jenn & Steve were phenomenal to work with and really have their system fine tuned. Everything was so smooth and easy. Myself and our guests could just relax and enjoy the day.
They made the planning process just as seamless which was amazing especially since my (new!) husband and I were out of state and living apart due to work. Jamie was our planner and day-of coordinator and she was the BEST. She...The Barn at Smugglers' Notch's reply:

Catherine Sent on 10/20/2024Best Wedding Ever!
My husband & I got married at the barn on 10.05.24. We have been working with Jenn, Steve & Jamie since May of 2022 & since that day they have made it such a seamless experience. We fell in love with the barn immediately after we saw it not just because it’s such a gorgeous venue with a beautiful view but we felt so welcomed in by the staff. When wedding weekend was approaching, Jamie was regularly checking in with us & making sure she got all of the details down. Then on wedding day was able to make the wedding of our dreams a reality. I can’t thank them all enough for how amazing they all are.The Barn at Smugglers' Notch's reply:
Thank you so much Catherine for your kind works. We love creating memorable events that celebrate love. It was an honor to host your friends and family on your most special day! Thank you for the trust you placed in our Barn family. -

Libby Sent on 10/15/2024Fall foliage wedding
Steve, Jen, and Jamie made our wedding day perfect! We live out of state and their crew made it incredibly simple to plan our day. The venue is beautiful and you couldn’t ask for a more scenic fall backdrop. The barns design is cozy and so welcoming. My bridal group was able to have all hair and makeup done on-site which made for an incredibly relaxing morning. We received many comments afterwards from our guests saying it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. Would highly recommend!The Barn at Smugglers' Notch's reply:

Jeremy Sent on 10/16/2023A Truly Magical Experience at The Barn At Smugglers' Notch
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...The Barn at Smugglers' Notch's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words Jeremy. It truly was a pleasure to host your friends and family.

Melissa Sent on 08/16/2023Outstanding Experience!
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... -

Jen, Jamie, and Steve threw us the best wedding ever. They took care of every detail and never showed an ounce of stress. The venue is beautiful, but it's the team that makes it truly shine. You get a level of service that is only possible when the owners are right there with you! They also went out of their way to make the day run smoothly and I will forever be grateful. If you want a beautiful wedding with no stress and amazing food, look no further!The Barn at Smugglers' Notch's reply:

![Sarah]()
Sarah Sent on 07/18/2023Far Exceeded Expectations!
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 Jen, 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...The Barn at Smugglers' Notch's reply:
Thank you Sarah, Jenn, Jamie and I greatly enjoyed hosting your wedding event and appreciate your words of praise. We love what we do and are so glad that is shows in the events we produce. We wish you and Ben a lifetime of health, love and happiness!!! -

Hannah Sent on 09/06/2022The Ideal Wedding Venue
We got married at the Barn in October 2021. It couldn't have been a more perfect venue. Jenn and Steve are so accommodating, incredibly responsive, and make you feel like you are the only people in the world getting married at the Barn - the relationship was the perfect amount of personal and professional. The Barn is absolutely stunning. The views of Mount Mansfield are breathtaking. While the weather was not on our side on the wedding day, Jenn pivoted so quickly to transform the inside of the venue into the perfect ceremony space and back into the reception space without anyone knowing what happened, she is truly a magician! The outdoor ceremony space is undeniably gorgeous, but if...The Barn at Smugglers' Notch's reply:

We recently got married at The Barn at Smuggs and couldn’t recommend it more!! From the moment we met Jenn, we felt confident that our day would go off without a hitch. She was on top of things, flexible, and always willing to offer a solution to anything that comes up. Steve was amazing communicating and answering all of our questions leading up to the wedding. The Barn was absolutely stunning. From the bridal suite, to the views, to the bright barn, everything is well thought out and beautiful. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Barn at Smuggs to anyone who asks!The Barn at Smugglers' Notch's reply:

Francesca Sent on 08/10/2022Fabulous venue. Incredible owners and staff.
Our daughter and son in law's wedding was this past weekend at the Barn at Smuggler's Notch! (August 2022)The ceremony was outdoors-- the setting was the perfect back drop of lovely mountains. I cannot say enough good things about Jenn and Steve the owners. They responded so quickly to all of our questions and were on top of every detail from start to finish. Jamie, another coordinator of the day was so calm and very attentive throughout. Jenn and Jamie set up our elaborate tables so beautifully prior to the event and made sure every detail was done!

Debra Sent on 07/25/2022Fairytale wedding at The Barn at Smugglers’ Notch
We had a magical day! So glad we chose this venue. Light, bright venue built for weddings. Has a large patio overlooking a wildflower meadow
with gorgeous view of Mt Mansfield. Honestly, the best part was working with Jenn and Steve and Jamie. They felt like family. It was so easy. Sugarsnap provided food and it was outstanding, the best wedding food ever!
Everyone, young and old, had a great time. The sparkler send off added a final nice touch.
Yes, highly recommend!The Barn at Smugglers' Notch's reply:

Danielle Sent on 07/19/2022The. Perfect. Day.
Jenn and Steve are the perfect people to team up with to make your wedding dreams come true. They are extremely responsive, well connected locally and within the industry, I really cannot say enough good things. Catering with Sugarsnap was incredible and Steve made our custom cocktail dreams come true. He went above and beyond - literally helped us import a mezcal through the state of VT that up until that point was only available in Texas. Jenn has a calm demeanor but oh boy does she get sh!t done! We would recommend this experience over and over. Every detail was perfect, and although we know how much work went into our wedding weekend, they made it feel effortless...The Barn at Smugglers' Notch's reply:

Kelly Sent on 07/13/2022Stunning venue and amazing owners - don't hesitate to book!
My husband I got married at the Barn at Smugglers' Notch a little over a month ago in June 2022. I'm from Montreal and my husband is from New York so we were looking for a venue that was somewhere between our families. We very luckily came across the Barn at Smugglers' Notch. As soon as we spoke to Jenn from the Barn at Smuggs, we knew that we had to book it as our wedding venue. As you can see from the photos, the Barn is absolutely stunning on its own (keep in mind that we were visiting over FaceTime and believe me when I say that it is even more breathtaking in person) but you can also...The Barn at Smugglers' Notch's reply:

Emily Sent on 09/28/2021Beautiful barn, awesome owners!
Jenn and Steve were amazing throughout the whole process of planning our wedding. Jenn has an eye for design and is the perfect coordinator for your day. She helped so much with placing decor and creating a fun lounge area with a couch and rugs we brought. They both made sure we had everything we needed and wanted throughout the evening, and especially made sure we ate the delicious food from Lost Nation Catering.
Jenn made sure everyone knew where to be and when, and when we lined up for the processional she handled telling everyone when to start walking in coordination with the dj and officiant. It could not have gone any better!

Jessica Sent on 06/27/2021An absolutely stunning Vermont Wedding Venue run by a dream team!
The Barn at Smuggler's Notch is such a stunning venue and so well-thought out. A modern canvas that lends itself well to any color scheme and any wedding theme. Sweeping mountain views. Stunning bridal suite. Plenty of space. That is why we originally selected it as our wedding venue. What we didn't know at the time is that we were hiring some of the best wedding professionals in the business - the dynamic duo of Steve & Jenn. I am not exaggerating when I say I'd get married pretty much anywhere as long as they were running the show.
Let me start with how incredibly responsive they were. As a wedding vendor also, this is something I greatly...The Barn at Smugglers' Notch's reply:
Wow Jessica! We are humbled by your abundance and praise. We are so thankful for having the opportunity to share such an important life event with your friends and family. Wishing you a lifetime of health, love and happiness....Steve and Jenn -

Jennifer and Steve are terrific. We had the most perfect wedding day, and can't imagine how we would have done it without them. Jennifer is an absolute boss and makes sure your day is everything you ever wished it would be and more. Both of them were so so helpful, respectful, organized and timely with all of my wedding planning questions and needs. OH, and the venue is just breathtaking. The barn is beautiful, from the bridal suite, to the tables and chandeliers, the bar and the bathrooms, literally everything is amazing, and that's not even the best part, the backdrop to the outdoor ceremony is jaw dropping.

The Barn at Smugglers’ Notch is a dream come true! Not only is there the most perfect views of Mount Mansfield, but also a perfect venue to make your wedding the most beautiful day. Our wedding was executed just as we planned without any hiccups thanks to Steve and Jennifer. The bridal loft was perfect for the bridal party to get ready and relax before the start of festivities. My favorite part of the loft was looking out the windows and watching all our family and friends gather together with smiles and excitement and best of all, my groom waiting for me at the flower covered arbor. Just by looking out that loft window it made all stress that...The Barn at Smugglers' Notch's reply:

Steven Sent on 10/20/2019A note of thanks and gratitude
We could talk about what great people Steve and Jenn are-the fact that we clicked with them right away and never felt like our wedding was just a business transaction at their incredible venue. Steve opened up the barn on a random Sunday following a Saturday event, just so my mother could see it during a visit. We could speak at length about the how good their partners are-Smugglers Notch Resort (in our case accommodations, shuttle service, breakfast), Cast Iron Catering, Jay Kennedy (photographer), Vermont Tent Company, etc. Steve and Jenn are a dynamic duo. Jenn was phenomenal with the coordination and details the day of the ceremony. Steve put our mind at ease with his attentiveness and logistics...The Barn at Smugglers' Notch's reply:
Thank you Steve & Aria. It was such a pleasure to connect with the two of you on many levels and to have the opportunity to create the wedding event you had envisioned. We are most thankful for the opportunity to host your friends and family and are so happy that they enjoyed your big day!

We can’t express how happy and thankful we are for having our wedding at the barn! Steve and Jenn were the best venue owners, day of coordination wedding planners and helped make us feel truly loved. Everything from the bridal suite to the bar was amazing, we wouldn’t change one thing about our day. All of the details from the barn itself, the tables and chairs and the beautiful staircase were what made us fall in love with our venue. The weather was perfect which was just an added bonus.

We got married on July 6th at The Barn at Smugglers Notch and the day was everything we had hoped for and so much more!
