Would highly recommend!

Immediately I was told that after 5 months and losing 3500$ in revenue my tent would be returned in its original damaged state. She specifically told me this was due to the Facebook review. So after 5 months and stout tents stringing me along I am out cash and being punished for telling it as it is. All this could have been avoided by simply admitting they were incapable of the task at hand and shipping it back in August.

Lauren is amazing. My wife and I had our wedding at Windekind Farm and we, along with all of our…read moreguests were blown away by everything she put out. Going into the wedding planning process, we heard two contradictory things. First, we were told that food is the one thing to splurge on. On the other hand, everyone uses wedding food as the example of gross, boring, overcooked banquet food. Well we didn't have a fortune to blow on our catering and having spent 3 years in San Francisco, food is an fundamental priority in our lives. Lauren was perfect. And here's why: 1) The food -- 5 stars. Lauren knows Asian food inside and out and it's all about the flavor. The food is beautifully presented, but her priority is the taste. We continue to rave about the food. Guests continue to rave about the food. 2) Lauren's professionalism -- 5 stars. Lauren was always focused and well organized. Nothing fell through the cracks. She also made sure to set us back on track if we began to get overly ambitious. She gave us a quote for the food and labor and hit it perfectly. 3) Lauren's commitment to locally sourced food -- 5 stars. Sourcing vegetables, fruits, and proteins locally is usually more expensive than the industrial option for obvious reasons, but it is a priority for Lauren to do her best within the budget she is given. 4) Working with our vision -- 5 stars. Throughout the planning process, Lauren was always innovating new ways to fit our crazy visions. When we wanted family style small plates, she made it happen. She had an idea to host a dumpling station...which was amazing and delicious!! Even though we hadn't thought of how the lanterns and candles would be lit, we turned around and her staff had lit them all. Lauren does all the right things for all the right reasons. She's smart, talented, adventurous and on the ball. There is too much good to share. The only way to fully understand how amazing she is to see for yourself. If you want to have food that people will talk about for the rest of your lives, hire Lauren.

She was an absolute rock throughout, easy to talk to, knowledgeable about do's and don'ts on a wedding day, and flexible flexible, flexible! I wish I could give her and her great staff 10 stars! Oh, and the food is spectacular! This is one of those people who when you're around them, they exude such a sense of professional expertise that you can't help but feel at ease knowing that they will take care of their end, no problem. What a pro!!!

We'd never seen that before and are so grateful he offered to do that. The guests that worked with Logan all told us it was so much fun and that Logan was great. He was able to get a lot of action and helped us stage some shots which helped a lot with the cake cutting and getting ice cream. He integrated seamlessly with the action too and everyone felt comfortable being themselves because it didn't feel like they were being recorded, it was just part of the fun! We booked Video Memories via SuperSounds Entertainment and ,seriously, EVERYONE was so awesome! Supersounds is a wonderful company and everyone we worked with were consummate professionals but still very approachable and warm. The professionals at Supersounds definitely helped make our day the perfect experience it was.

When we arrived, we were greeted by a very friendly gentleman who provided a great introduction to the game. We watched three videos before entering the game room. The element of having to use a tablet to verify if your guess is correct was new to us. But after a few tries, we got the hang of it and understood its purpose. This was a challenging one as we were so close to escaping. The game master was helpful along the way, giving us clues when he saw we were stuck. I recommend playing is you're in the area and enjoy solving puzzles and riddles. We'd definitely love to try the next one they're working on which is scheduled to come out soon.

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!
