Tickets were only about $11 online, so I booked us for the last show of the night. We checked in when we arrived and grabbed a drink at the bar. Once we entered the main theatre, we were told we could sit anywhere that was open so we sat towards the back. If you want to order more drinks or snacks during the show you can do it via the QR code right at your table. We liked the soft pretzels and the drinks were very tasty! The show itself was entertaining and we had plenty of laughs. It was a welcoming space and everyone we interacted with was so nice.

She made sure my daughter's other 3 siblings felt part of the show, they were so excited. I highly recommend her for any birthday Party. My little one was turning 1 but having Pipsqueak there made the birthday party so much fun for all ages.

It is also located right downtown so very convenient for those people looking to walk down or are staying in the downtown area for a function. I will have to be more on the lookout for the various showings that they have - They do monthly free movie screenings (Blade Runner and Terminator are a couple that caught my sci-fi loving eye) so be sure to check their webpage for some seriously fun events! They also are host to the Vermont International Film Festival and other Burlington Film Society showings!

The Barn at Smuggler's Notch is such a stunning venue and so well-thought out. A modern canvas that…read morelends 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 appreciate. I would ask a question and get a response usually within 10 minutes. Jenn & Steve made everything pretty effortless for us. Steve helped us with bar selections, table lay out and set up specialty cocktails. Jenn coordinated with all of our vendors for arrival times, set up and take down. We were able to drop off all of our decor on a Wednesday and Jenn had it all set up when we came Friday for our rehearsal. What a special treat for our bridal party and close family to be able to preview the venue with the majority of the decor set up. A review of our wedding day: we had downpours in the morning and in to the afternoon. The team at the Barn set up for an indoor ceremony just in case. Our ceremony was at 4:30pm and downpours came again at 4:15. As I (the bride) was coming down the stairs the clouds parted and I gave the nod to have the ceremony outside - probably right at 4:30pm. Jenn had the team dry off chairs outside not once, but twice after 4pm and we were able to have our ceremony outside, just as we had envisioned. I doubt you will find this level of flexibility anywhere else where you can literally make the call at the very last minute - it meant everything to us to be able to get married with the mountains in the background. The rest of the night was absolutely flawless. Steve made sure to bring us cocktails during dinner, Jenn brought us an array of apps so we could enjoy our cocktail hour while photos were being taken. I had no idea what time it was all throughout the night, but Jenn made sure things were executed on time. She clearly is a professional and seems so chill but is also so organized and direct when she needs to be. The Barn is no doubt the best place to get married in Vermont. I wish I could do it all over again - every moment was absolutely magical. Thanks Steve & Jenn for our perfect day - look forward to working with you both as a wedding vendor and getting to visit the place we got married often.

If you are still searching for the quintessential Vermont wedding venue, look no further. As a…read moremaximizer bride (who searched through hundreds of venues in the state) and an interior designer by trade, I can attest that you have stumbled upon THE most beautiful venue Vermont has to offer. Jen and Steve have created a space that is both chic and elegant, while retaining the signature VT charm. Every detail has been thought out, from amenity baskets for guests in the lovely restrooms, to an en suite shower for the bride to use on the day. From the beginning of our discussion with the wonderful owners, we knew we had finally found our venue. My husband and I had our makeup wedding (after two Covid postponements over the past three years) this past weekend and it was nothing short of magical. Jen and Steve were kind enough to work with us, graciously accommodating our schedule changes, as well as being incredibly flexible as the scope of our day shifted from a large 180-person shindig to an intimate 30-person DIY experience. They allowed ultimate personalization: granting me the opportunity to come on the property the day before to setup our table spread per my vision and providing a delicious signature cocktail along with our open bar. With every interaction, the owners make you feel special and excited for your day, as if they are close family friends celebrating with you. Our guests noted the quality of the bar selections, as well as the delicious catered food provided by Sugarsnap. We all agreed that the meals represented the best food anyone had ever experienced at a wedding. Kristen was a delight to work with as we coordinated our culinary selections for the big day. All and all, this is the perfect venue run by caring and thoughtful owners and their incredible staff. You cannot beat the natural beauty that surrounds this soulful space, nor the gorgeous interior. Do yourself a favor, and reach out to them ASAP to save your date!
