Vermont Wedding Venue: The Barn at Smugglers’ Notch

The Barn at Smuggler’s Notch truly captures the spirit of a Vermont wedding—breathtaking views, intentional design, a team that feels like family, and a deep commitment to hospitality. This Vermont wedding venue is the perfect blend of scenic views and elevated experience—welcoming couples who want their celebration to be both stunning and seamless.

A Vermont Wedding Venue with Unmatched Mountain Views

Let’s start with the obvious: the view. The Barn sits on 77 acres of historic farmland, surrounded by near-360-degree mountain vistas. From Mt. Mansfield and Spruce Peak to the Sterling Range, the landscape here is pure Vermont magic. Located just minutes from Stowe Mountain Resort, the venue’s location gives couples that alpine aesthetic withoutsacrificing convenience.

This is one of those rare spots where you can say “I do” with a dramatic mountain backdrop and celebrate under the stars—without needing a backup generator or bug spray (though they’ve got plans for every weather curveball, too).

A Venue Designed with Weddings in Mind

Unlike traditional barns that have been retrofitted for events, this one was built from the ground up to host celebrations. Think post-and-beam construction by local Vermont craftsmen, wide-plank wood floors, soaring ceilings, and natural light pouring in from every direction.

It’s elegant without being over-the-top, modern without losing its Vermont charm. Every inch of the venue was designed with both form and function in mind—including radiant floor heating, central A/C, and a full commercial kitchen.

Coordination Included? Yes, Please.

One of the standout features of The Barn is what’s included. From the moment you book, you’ll work with Jamie, a Certified Wedding Planner who guides you through the entire planning process—from curating your timeline and recommending trusted vendors, to managing your rehearsal and day-of details.

Alongside Jennifer, the J&J team ensures your day flows effortlessly so you can actually be present to enjoy it.

Elevated Catering, Custom Menus, and Farm-to-Table Flair

When it comes to food, The Barn partners with a local culinary team that puts a creative spin on Vermont’s best ingredients. Whether you’re dreaming of an elegant plated dinner or interactive stations like sushi bars and pig roasts, the catering here is as elevated as it is approachable.

Menus are customized to reflect your taste, vision, and vibe—bringing that farm-to-table essence to life in every bite.
