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 space and furnishings were extremely flexible, and the staff was over the top helpful. Our 150 plus guests had plenty of room to sit, mingle and dance the night away. The inhouse sound and lighting were perfect. (We did bring our own disco ball!) The price, access to the site and parking were added benefits in the Burlington area. We highly recommend this venue and this team!

After a very personal encounter with the studio owners, it became clear to me that despite their…read moreuse of world cultures to promote an image of consciousness and allegiance with the community, the owners of the study are not operating from a critical space. And this happens. Sometimes people travel the world and 'acquire' culture (a colonial practice) and still never come to learn about what it means to see others as fully human, what discrimination looks like (even when we mean well), how men can demean and ridicule women in public spaces, etc. It's to say, while they use their travels and world 'culture' to perpetuate an image of awareness, the content of that awareness itself (an anti-colonial, anti-racist, anti-sexist platform) is nonexistent. That was revealed in the way I was treated by the owners. I was, in practice, denied the safe use of a space they confirmed was available. They shared the details of the event I was planning (that I gave during a private phone conversation) with DSantosVT, which is a private and separate dance company. They did this without my consent and without informing me. They at no point offered the space to rent to me (days passed) until I mentioned the legalities, at which time they said 'if you drop the legality talk, we'll let you' I had an encounter where I felt I had been treated unfairly and unprofessionally. I also let them know I worry about the legalities of their actions. I didn't say this to be a 'stick in his side' or be a nuisance. I said this because I was looking for avenues of protection when it became clear the studio was not against acting in a discriminatory fashion. Not only that, they were unable to identify and rectify an issue of discrimination. So, I thought it was wise to at least try to call them to act professionally/legally. That didn't work at all. They did not see any issue of discrimination or lack of professionalism. I should note, by this point I had shared the experience with various people in my community, all of which agreed that it was unfair, biased, and unprofessional. So, when I asked them if they saw a problem, and Ben and April said no I knew it wasn't me. I knew they didn't know how to recognize an issue of unfairness/racism/discrimination/colonialism, and they were more invested in dismissing me than they were in hearing me and understanding my perspective. They told me repeatedly 'this is how things work' and 'we're a tight knit community.' Here are some of the things the studio owner said to me, a black woman trying to teach a black art form in his studio. I asked him if I could record. When he refused, I continued to take careful notes as I was verbally attacked after raising concerns about the studio's professionalism. Here are parts of the meeting I found concerning: 1. Ben ridiculed me before I spoke saying 'do you want your podium now?' 2. Ben compared letting me rent an available space to putting a porn shop in the front. 3. Ben said I had a chip on my shoulder. 4. Ben said I had a hidden agenda. 5. April said at the end of the meeting that I'll be 'sorry and sad,' which sounded like a threat. 6. Ben called me out of my name. He said "you are... blank" using a negative adjective to label me. As you can see from these responses, the studio owners clearly believed that I took joy in having to protect myself from them. That this was some type of 'spotlight' or 'agenda' that I was carrying out. When I told them I felt they had behaved in discriminatory fashion, they felt that I was the nuisance and bother. They felt they were somehow the victims. This is how white supremacy protects itself. That's well researched and documented. Despite being 'world travelers' it's clear they haven't found this literature. I think it is very unfortunate that I have been prevented from feeling safe in a studio that claims to provide services for underserved communities. I think it is sad that when a member of that community spoke of unfairness, she was ridiculed. And then, to add insult to injury, their business is based entirely off of selling the art forms of poor people of color (kizomba, african dance, etc). I will not be returning to this studio ever again. I wanted to share because I know often as people of color, we feel these microaggressions from people we perceive to have power. We rarely mention it, and when we do, if they don't see a problem, we assume it's in our heads. We assume that if we can't put words to it, or can't explain it then it must not be real. We assume that if they tell us 'this is how things work' or 'i meant well' that we should let it go. But that's not true. Sometimes people act in discriminatory, imperial ways and don't realize it, and won't be held accountable. I encourage other people of color and those who understand this message to discontinue business with North End and find more radical spaces invested in truly uplifting our communities, rather than exploiting our cultural productions.

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.

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!
