The Inn at Grace Farm

er recommend this venue to anyone sadly. 1.Venue changes and failure the notify me sooner Aimee the owner has failed to notify any of her couples about the fact that her barn has completely changed colors. THIS BARN IS NO LONGER RED and this venue is actually lying about what their venue looks like now. Aimee emailed me one week before my wedding notifying me that their remaining arch was damaged. Aimee has advertised in the past a birch arch on social media and also to me verbally. Now both of her arches are broken and now there are NO arches on their property. 2.Failure to provide venue details I specifically asked for details from their venue that I never received that Aimee promised she would get to me (the circumferences of the lights). This was a really important part of my vision for the decor that we did not get to see come to life. I specifically asked Aimee in person and Aimee claims that she never met me so I don’t really know what to say other than I literally recorded our entire walkthrough and I have video proof that she was there and that she did meet me. More on that on the next point. 3. Self-guided tour Upon our arrival at the inn for our tour of the venue my now husband, one of my bridesmaids, and I felt a lack of willingness to show us the lodging side of the venue. While Aimee did come into the barn with us for the actual event space I would just caution her this, just because we had booked the venue already doesn't mean that we haven't already started thinking about the experience that we are having with you. We showed up maybe 10 minutes early to the showing I do admit that and we were willing to wait but I thought that she would walk us through all the parts of the houses and the venue. I do venue tours with my couples all the time (I’m a wedding photographer) and the venue folks are there and VERY present. Showing us all the cool features of the venue, all the cool photo spots ( because ya know I'm the photographer). You are the only person I have ever had a hands-off venue tour with and I'm so sad that it was for my own wedding.  4.Failure to clean the property Ok we are now on our wedding weekend and we arrive at the inn and we inspect the rooms and we find that most of the rooms were not properly cleaned. They left hair rollers from the previous guests were left on the floor. We found a dirty Kleenex in a drawer with god knows what in it. Dead bugs lined all the windowsills. Most of the doors did not close properly. We had to close ours with a chair. The blinds did not roll up properly in our room. Most of the bathrooms did not have restocked toiletries. It was a mess. 4.Unsafe venue The barn itself has electrical issues. During the reception, the entire barn almost burn down because their outlets were short-circuiting and were sparking out like nobody’s business. This caused the lights to flicker and ultimately fry all of the twinkle lights on the ceiling. This building is NOT SAFE. It is a total fire hazard and we were concerned all evening. In addition to this, the stairs going to and from the houses to the barn do not have any lights and it is extremely dangerous at night. At least 5 guests slipped and fell. There are no railings. The wood steps going up to the house our deteriorating. I twisted my ankle on one of them.

away. Not only is Aimee incredibly great to work with, but the venue is outstandingly beautiful, clean, and welcoming. So much so that we decided to also have our rehearsal dinner. We loved the versatility of the space, the beautiful view of the mountains, and the rambling accommodations of the two residences. Also - the fact that Aimee knows many of the vendors was key. Not only could she give us recommendations, but she was able to contact our rehearsal dinner caterer directly to quickly adjust when they ran up against a last minute issue with a stove. It was fantastic! The inn and the stone house were perfect for the bridal party to stay and get ready over the weekend with their partners. Not only were we able to settle in and spread out, but our hair and makeup teams were completely impressed with the spacious set-up for their services. If you're looking for a gorgeous "barn" setting with accommodations and a GORGEOUS view, I can't recommend this place enough.

ever Aimee didn't miss a beat and was so calm and accommodating. I picked this venue because it has an updated aesthetic that no other inn in Vermont seems to have. From the actual inn and stone house lodging, to the wedding barn, the aesthetic is perfect. The barn itself is SO gorgeous, it made the decor aspect so easy. All of our guests commented on how lovely the venue itself was and the gorgeous views from the property. Aimee was always super responsive and full of ideas and wedding knowledge.
