The Old Lantern Inn and Barn

there to answer them. Lisa was there the day of to help make everything run smoothly. The food was absolutely wonderful, Chef Roland did an amazing job. Julie did an amazing job decorating everything. We recommend getting the inn for two nights and having your wedding party stay there with you. The Inn was wonderful to have while we got ready and for a place to go after the wedding and all the dancing. The wedding was better than we could have imagined thanks to Julie and Lisa.

help of Lisa and Julie two weeks before our next wedding date in July we decided to have a small intimate 32 person wedding on July 11th. With our whole dream we believed to be out the window here came Lisa and Julie to the rescue with a plan to make our dreams still come true. A year later we were able to invite all our guests and finish the wedding of our dreams. From the decorations to every last detail were beyond perfect, the drinks were great and the food was beyond delicious from chef Roland. the Old Lantern is everything a girl could have every dreamed of having her wedding day look like, even with all the stress COVID brought. I don't think we would have ever held onto our dreams if it wasn't for Julie and Lisa. oh and the venue is the perfect rustic touch for your special Vermont wedding.

does an amazing job cooking the food. Thank you soooooo much for making our wedding extra special!

ed perfectly, You saved the day for us!!!!! ... The entire staff was so great and so helpful, you went way above and beyond our expectations. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

still accept more than 55 people. They already had RSVP's for 94. Old Lantern can seat 150, so during VT's COVID restrictions, they could still handle 75. More than almost any other option we had. Finally, we found the Old Lantern Inn and Barn, and the four of us (daughter/fiance/wife/myself) all met with Julie. We knew immediately that it was the place for us. So many things were taken off the list with this venue - wedding cake (done!), decorations (done!), event planner (done!), bar/bartender on site, COVID precautions (done!), etc. (done, done, done!) The staff at the Old Lantern was wonderful. They did a great job of making us feel warm and wanted, even suggesting different options for things like how to do drinks for the toast, etc. On the wedding day, they were invaluable. Lisa kept things for the ceremony rolling in a caring way, keeping the timing of things moving along, and making sure we were all in our places when needed. It was such a relief to have her there, and it would not fall on me to have to 'herd' everyone through the whole thing. Very professional and extremely caring in the way she handled things. As the wedding progressed, there were just more and more things that added to the feelings that the newlyweds and my wife and I were VIP's, and the value for what we paid kept going through the roof! They also handle catering in-house, and the food was exceptional. Appetizers were served at the table, and entrees via buffet line in the back. I believe that table serving of entrees is also an option. The wedding cake they made was beautiful, and tasty, too! Would I recommend them? Oh, Yes! I'll be touting the benefits and recommending the use of Old Lantern for years to come. These folks are wonderful, and truly made my daughter's wedding a fairy tale! Please use them! You won't regret it!

nge time. They have been so helpful with making sure not only that we were taken care of at the Old Lantern itself, but with all of our vendors that we will be working with on our rescheduled day. Julie has been amazing with talking us through everything, giving us updates and never making us feel pressured in any way to stick with our original date - her only concern was truly our happiness and making sure we were comfortable. A big thank you to the whole team for being amazing to work with! We can't WAIT for next year!

e. Julie and Lisa helped immensely to bring our vision to life. They did an incredible job with the centerpieces to match the wedding colors and we are grateful for Julie letting us borrow decorations, table numbers, and signs. Both Julie and Lisa are excellent at alleviating stress and keeping everyone calm and organized both during the planning process and throughout the wedding -- which was needed for the bride, groom, and the groom’s mother. :) Their flexibility for day-of coordination was very helpful when we were determining if we could have an outside wedding in early November. The food we selected was exceptionally prepared by Roland and we received multiple compliments. We could not be happier with our decision to have our wedding at the Old Lantern Inn & Barn.

of, wrangling in a very boisterous wedding party of 20 and keeping everyone where they needed to be and on time! All our guests were in love with the venue itself and the food blew everyone away! We can't thank The Old Latern enough for such a great wedding experience!! If you are looking for a relaxed but elegant venue with amazing people/staff and delicious food, look no further!

dding. Oh yeah - and our guests are STILL talking about how amazing the food was;)

remember the little details that slipped my mind. We rented the whole Inn for the wedding weekend which was the BEST decision ever. Being about to walk back and forth between the Barn and the Inn made the whole weekend so easy and convenient. The Old Lantern really takes care of so many of your needs, including the food, drinks, centerpieces, cake and even some of the decorations. We hardly had to do anything at all besides show up and everyone can't stop talking about how beautiful it all was. The food was also incredible! We have received so many compliments on the food and the cake. I would recommend the Old Lantern to anyone who wants a gorgeous Vermont venue with amazing coordinators who really know what they're doing.

mmunicative staff! We were extremely pleased with all the services provided and would definitely recommend The Old Lantern!

ere very accommodating to our daughter and now son in law who had a vision of how things would look and be. Thank you💖❤️

ny and Reception there and couldn't be happier. Beautiful location, great food, excellent space for dancing, and a very reasonable price given everything they include.

t of services provided, location, and beauty inside and out. We could not be happier with our choice and experience from start to finish. The team at The Old Lantern is a well oiled machine and thanks to them, we had a gorgeous, stress free, super fun wedding ceremony and reception that we will cherish forever and our guests can not stop raving about. The Old Lantern is a full service wedding venue, which took so much stress out of the planning, execution, and expense that goes into a wedding. On top of that, the planning process was smooth and straight forward thanks to Julie, the event planner. She sent us all of the information we would need to provide to the team well in advance so that we had time to think about all of the details, as well as a timeline moving forward. When questions came up, Julie was easy to reach and responded so quickly. She also gave great advice across the board from where to save money, decor, menu options, and navigating traditions. During the planning phase, we had an opportunity to attend a wine dinner one evening. It was so nice to spend time in The Old Lantern all decorated, try out some of the food, get to know the team a bit more, and build the excitement envisioning our own wedding. Once our wedding weekend approached, we had our rehearsal with Lisa. She walked us through the day, eased our nerves, and let us know she'd be there with us keeping things running smoothly on our wedding and was she ever! Lisa was amazing! We were struck by her attention to detail, confidence and clarity working with our vendors, and how she seemingly appeared out of nowhere at any moment to lend a helping hand from attaching boutonnieres, bustling my dress, or fixing my mother in law's hair. Then it was on to the food. Chef Roland and his team did a wonderful job from the appetizers and main courses, to the cake! Our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was and saying how they'd never had such good food at a wedding before. Not only was the food delicious, but all of our guests were able to eat from the buffet regardless of allergies or dietary restrictions because of an amazing selection to choose from and Chef's flexibility altering dishes to meet our needs. Lastly, Mary Pat did a great job behind the bar and closed down the night seamlessly. We can't speak highly enough of the great work the team at The Old Lantern did to make our wedding such a success!

g, knowledgeable, and overall the best at what they do to make our wedding day special. The old lantern comes with so many things already included that it makes planning seamless. Our guests have done nothing but rave about the food , about the venue, and just overall loved everything about our day . If your looking for a venue that is beautiful, budget friendly, and all inclusive , look no farther than The Old Lantern!

f the wedding I thought my dad had to decorate the place by himself and the team was there taking care of everything. They also provide decorations for couple that don’t want to take care of it or can’t afford wedding decorations. The food was AMAZING. We had so many good comments from our guest. A big thank you to the Old Lantern Barn for making the best day of our live perfect !!

5 minute walk from the barn. Julie and Lisa are the best wedding planners you could for ask for, they made every step easy and organized all the details. Chef Roland's food was phenomenal, their staff and bartenders are the best. Truly a hidden gem nestled in the Geen Mountain State. Our guests traveled from Las Vegas, Florida, New York and New Jersey and were extemely impressed with the high level of services provided. Also be sure to work off of their "Our Favorites" list on their website, the vendors they have listed work amazing and have great relationships with Julie and Lisa and make your special day stress free! Worth every penny spent on the day, we're looking forward to our next big celebration so we can return.

nized, making it super easy and clear to prepare for the wedding, find vendors, make sure we were on track with planning as the wedding approached, and keeping everything moving the day of, always with a smile on their face. On top of this, the space, inside and out (especially in fall!) is just stunning, and the perfect place for a Vermont wedding. Again, can't praise them enough!

a few things which made things easy and stress free. The staff communicated with us the throughout the entire process, took care of everything we needed and made our vision a reality. Julie set up the barn the day of and it matched our vision perfectly. It ended up raining right before our ceremony and the staff quickly moved everything inside and made it just as beautiful as it would have been outside. Many of our guests commented that they didn't even know it was supposed to be outside! Lisa made the entire day stress free and I didn't have to worry about anything! We were able to enjoy our day without stressing over the details because they made everything so easy! Anyone looking for a rustic, elegant wedding venue should get married here!

a hitch! We could not have done it without her. Our photographs on the grounds came out to be so beautiful I couldn't believe it. You can't go wrong with the Old Lantern!!

it all, Old Lantern far exceeded any expectations we had for our special day. Julie, Lisa and Roland answered all of our questions all year long and accommodated all of our requests without hesitation. Julie was our fearless leader throughout our engagement and lessened the stress of wedding planning by tenfold. Lisa took care of us on our wedding day and I wish I could bring her with me everywhere. She was organized, insightful and knew what we needed before we even knew it ourselves! She allowed us to have the most care-free and enjoyable day spent with our guests and we are so grateful for that. Thank you with our whole hearts, Old Lantern team, for making our wedding day unforgettable. Our guests continue to tell us it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. If you are a couple shopping for a venue, look no more! The Old Lantern takes care of you beyond anything you can imagine and you will be overjoyed with their hospitality and support.

as vital because we were planning our wedding from a distance. We especially appreciated the personal attention Lisa gave to our parents when they came to visit. Old Lantern was upfront and honest about their charges, no hidden fees or surprises and we could trust them at every turn to give us the best advice for the wedding we wanted. They worked with our father-in-law to figure the alcohol offerings we wanted. I was absolutely blown away by the personal attention we received the day of. Lisa was truly, genuinely excited about our wedding and our family, and enthusiastically joined in the joy. She took care of every little incident that popped up calmly, from my bustle to a medical emergency to us showing up half an hour early. It was so reassuring to have her on top of all that was happening during the reception. My maid of honor kept asking, "Who is doing this, this, etc.?" and it felt SO good to say, our venue's got it! Several of our guests kept asking, "Did you eat yet?" Lisa made sure that we were served so quickly and quietly that people hadn't even noticed and it allowed us to say hi to almost all our guests (165 guests). Our wedding party stayed at the Inn, which was really lovely and we took advantage of the living room hangout space--and the breakfast was truly great! The challenges of our wedding: 165 guests, planned from across the country, ceremony in a different place were totally overcome by Old Lantern's excellent service. I was initially concerned that there was only one DJ option that they heavily recommended (Top Hat), but we ended up very happy with their work the day of! Five stars there, too.

nd needs and making very helpful recommendations. I've never worked with a venue that continually said: "Sure, we can do that." And they did--beautifully. The day of the wedding we had to make a quick switch from an outside ceremony to inside due to a surprise storm that blew in--within a half hour of our guests arriving! Yikes! Drenched to the skin, Lisa and Julie and their staff not only switched seating to inside but they salvaged our outdoor decorations and continued the program without a hitch! Our guests thought the ceremony was always meant to be inside! The evening moved along smoothly--so well staffed that no one had to wait for food or drinks and we got plenty of time for dancing. I also have to commend Julie on the magical decorations. From gift table to cookie table, dinner tables, flowers, and place card set up, she created a special feel that totally reflected the bride and groom's taste. She is amazing! It was a perfect wedding and all our guests agreed. "Most fun wedding ever" was heard all through the evening. In addition, Lisa and Julie gave us recommendations for florist and DJ and salon for hair and make up. These vendors were also amazing! We also rented the entire Inn for the weekend for our family to stay and to host hair and make up for the bride, bridesmaids and moms. The Inn was comfortable and had plenty of common areas for everyone to spread out and the breakfasts were great! As mother of the bride, I also appreciated that they took care of everything. No stress, they told us they would take care of things and they did--all the little details that you worry about, they just took care of them. I'm sorry this will be the only wedding we host because I would have another wedding at the Old Lantern Barn in a NY minute!

have someone the day of to make sure that everything goes according to plan and makes your life so much easier!! The barn was beautifully decorated with simple lights and rustic decor just like we wanted and the outside was so elegant and perfect for an outdoor wedding. The food was outstanding!!! Our guests all loved it and they served everyone so quickly hat no one was hungry. Lastly, the people we worked with were all AMAZING!! From planning everything to the day of Julie and Lisa had our backs and I’m so grateful that I was able to work with them. Cannot recommend this venue highly enough.

the views, and began communicating with the Old Lantern team, we knew this was the perfect place! From the very beginning of our wedding planning, Julie, Lisa, Roland and the Old Lantern team, were extremely supportive, organized, and so great to work with. We couldn't wait for June 30th! Julie took on the role of wedding coordinator at our church ceremony, and made me and the wedding party feel so comfortable and confident going into the church. As soon as we arrived at the Old Lantern (after our church ceremony) on our wedding day for the reception, we were greeted with such warmth by Lisa and the Old Lantern team. On a day that can be nerve-wracking at times, we truly felt loved and supported throughout the whole night. I cannot tell you how many people complimented the décor, the food, and the overall vibe that the Old Lantern brings to such a wonderful event. Despite the incredible heat wave that we had to endure that weekend, this was such a magical night for us and for our family and friends. We thank the Old Lantern team for making our dreams come true with a lovely, rustic, elegant Vermont wedding that we had envisioned. We look back at our day with great smiles, laughs, and so many wonderful memories.

the empty barn on a cold December day visiting the barn for the first time. She was there to answer any of my questions from the day we said yes to The Old Lantern and really helped me stay on top of a timeline. The Old Lantern offers tastings throughout the year, which are so exciting because it really gives you and idea of what your reception could feel like- plus you get to try Roland's amazing food! The day of the wedding was so wonderful. We had our wedding in a nearby church and once we pulled up to The Old Lantern Lisa was there to greet us and get us into our cocktail hour. The entire staff was awesome at our reception, we felt taken care of and they really went above and beyond to make us feel special. Our guests absolutely loved the food and the venue! Thank you Julie, Lisa, Roland and Staff!

organized, and we really didn't have to think about too much. We were coming from out of town and actually never really had a chance to go to VT before the wedding, so it was lovely that centerpieces (done by Lisa), many decorations, chairs etc. were all included and we didn't have to hire out separately. We stayed up at the Inn, which made getting ready and going to sleep after the reception so easy. We brought our own lawn games for the cocktail hour, which were also a total hit. We also used vendors off their recommended vendor list and were SO happy with the quality and affordability of all. If you are looking for an organized, rustic, easy, beautiful Vermont wedding with fantastic food, this is your place! We really highly recommend it and could not be happier reliving every minute of our amazing day.

From beginning to end the owner and staff was beyond incredible to work with. Wedding planning can be super overwhelming and they made it so much easier and more fun. Any questions we had were answered promptly and all my wishes were met. We also decided to rent the Inn for our wedding weekend and we are so glad we made that choice! It was beautiful and a perfect place for myself and my bridesmaids to get ready and take some mazing pictures. It was just so convenient to have the Inn so close for before and after the wedding ceremony and reception. We also chose to have our ceremony in the barn due to not wanting to worry about weather at all. They decorated everything exactly how I asked them to and made our wedding day go so smoothly. I did not have to worry about a thing and was able to be relaxed and focused on my family and friends. Another part I really liked was how well staffed they were for the event. From the wait staff to the bartenders no one ever had to wait to be helped. It made the night very enjoyable for all who attended. I cannot thank Lisa, Roland, Julie, and the rest of the amazing staff enough. I will always recommend The Old Lantern over and over again.

k with and she is so responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. And the owners (and chef), Lisa and Roland, are fantastic the day of. Our guests did not stop raving about the venue, how gorgeous it was, the decor they provided (my husband and I didn't do much ourselves, but the venue was so well decorated by the staff that everyone thought we did); the staff; the fantastic location; and THE FOOD. The FOOD was off the charts. Our guests loved every second of it, and our day was actually flawless. These people are PROS in every sense of the word. I'd also like to add that having looked at other venues in and around Burlington, VT. This venue is the most bang for your buck out there. Choosing this venue and the wonderful staff and coordinators that came with it made planning the wedding beyond easy and enjoyable. I cannot say enough good things about the Old Lantern. I would recommend them to everyone and anyone getting married in the area. Best decision we made.

r! All of our friends and family tell us it was incredibly intimate, and it all happened because of Lisa and Julie. Chef made an excellent dinner, and people were well served by Mary-Pat at the bar. Their strength is offering you wedding options that very easy to execute--which I appreciated so so much. A note--if you're someone who is super into every little detail getting executed it would probably help to get a day of coordinator, as a few little details fell through the cracks. BUT that's the same with every venue/big event I think where the bride is not a pro wedding planner, and when you marry your best friend in a beautiful ceremony, often those things don't matter :) The place was set-up beautifully by Julie and the barn looked absolutely gorgeous!! We also had a lot of family stay at the inn which I couldn't recommend enough. Lisa does a great job with the food there and we all felt like family. Seriously couldn't recommend them enough, everyone should get married here!

my wedding day. The venue was decorated to perfection and just looked stunning. Lastly, EVERYONE has raved about the food! How often does that happen? Truly, hands down, the best place to get married!!

walked in. We visited on November 4th, 2016 and had our wedding there exactly one year later! From tastings right up til the day of, the entire team was awesome to work with. Julie always stayed in contact, answered questions quickly, and did an awesome job decorating the Old Lantern for us the day of. Lisa and Roland were absolutely amazing as well. Lisa was so attentive in making sure my husband and myself as well as our bridal party and guests had everything we needed. People raved about Lisa's attentiveness and of course, about Roland's delicious food as well. Many of our friends and family have been telling us that our wedding was the best they've ever been to because it was so fun, the food was amazing, and the space itself was so beautiful. I highly recommend the Old Lantern! My husbands mother passed away less than a month before the wedding, and the team at the Old Lantern was very supportive in helping us find ways to honor her at the reception and even sent us a card after her passing. So, if you're looking for a beautiful Vermont barn venue and a team that will absolutely take care of you from beginning to end, the Old Lantern is the best of the best!

e value - everything was perfect. It felt like every guest commented that they loved something, and I heard so many great things about the owner Lisa. She worked diligently throughout the day to ensure our parents and friends were full and happy with a drink in hand.

s if they matter to you. There were a few things that got lost in communication, though this is fairly natural considering how many weddings they go through in a summer. We would highly recommend the Old Lantern, it is a truly beautiful spot, encapsulating everything wonderful about Vermont!

orations, they did it all. Everyone raved about how amazing the food was, the atmosphere and the staff! Lisa's attention to detail is top notch, I didn't have to even say anything without her even knowing what I was thinking. My wedding was simply a fairytail, exceeded my dreams. My husband and I would highly recommend The Old Lantern to all upcoming couples. I can't say enough about Lisa, Chef, Julie and the rest of the staff, without them my wedding wouldn't have been what it was! Xo

rn is absolutely beautiful - rustic, charming, and elegant and fit our vision perfectly. We were taken care of from beginning to end by the wonderful staff. Julie was a delight to work with from day one - so knowledgeable, detail oriented, responsive, and kept us all sane (including my father who I think was more stressed out than we were!) throughout the entire wedding planning process by answering any questions we had and meeting with us when we needed to. We had Julie decorate for us as well and she did an amazing job - I highly recommend having her decorate as it alleviates some of the pressure the day of and it looked absolutely beautiful. Lisa is lovely - she was there the entire day of our wedding and knew how to put my mind at ease as I arrived for pictures before the ceremony, so nervous & anxious. After my husband and I arrived from taking our pictures post ceremony as the cocktail was going on, she pulled me aside to make sure I had a moment to breathe and decompress for 5 minutes, which was so great. Lisa, along with one of my bridesmaids, helped bustle my dress and made sure I had a drink in hand while they were doing so. We were so well taken care of the entire night and she was always one step ahead of us - a true testament to how professional, knowledgeable & attentive these folks are. Chef Roland did an outstanding job with the food (we had no doubts), it was amazing and my French family could not stop talking about how great it was even days after. Even though it has only been a little over one month since we got married on August 12th, we always talk about how we just want to go back and relive that day all over again. It was perfect in every way possible, and it is evident that the staff at the Old Lantern love and take pride in what they do. It was everything we imagined, & more. Thank you, Julie, Lisa, Roland, and the rest of the staff at the OL for our dream day! Ross & Emilie Marcotte & our families

your needs. They go out of their way to ensure your experience is memorable. The food is fantastic!

chairs, linens, dish-ware, etc. and even floral centerpieces! The barn and surroundings are peaceful and beautiful. Julie was super helpful and responsive to all of our questions leading up to the wedding. When we arrived a few days before the wedding, we met Lisa, who is also so friendly and professional. The entire weekend Lisa and the Old Lantern staff were one step ahead of us the whole time- such pros who paid attention to every small detail to ensure that everything ran smoothly and was exactly what we had envisioned. The inn is also amazing to have right on the property, and staying there with our wedding party made the weekend even better! The food was also AMAZING. Seriously, everything about this place is perfect.

e and decorations. I would also highly recommend renting out the inn for the wedding weekend. It was extremely convenient, adorable, and the breakfast was amazing!

make the process so seamless and as easy as possible, they really take care of you. They almost felt like family, it couldn't have been more perfect! We booked the inn for the weekend as well, and had absolutely no complaints. It was so easy being on site the morning of the wedding. On the wedding day, we had no worries but the weather with the help of the OL staff... it was that perfect! We would 100% recommend!

and was working, I was in school full time and we had a little one at home, and I can say honestly that I hardly found myself stressed. It seemed as though Julie was on call for me and my husband at any hour of the day or night. The Old Lantern is beautiful, it's cozy, it's elegant, it's the perfect place to have a wedding with the people that matter in your life. I had the time of my life, I smiled lots, loved with a full heart and enjoyed every moment of our wedding thanks to the lovely ladies in charge and thanks to the Old Lantern staff. I would full heartedly recommend The Old Lantern to those couples looking for a surreal experience, looking to say "I do" in a magical place and looking for help along the way. We love the Old Lantern, my friends and family still are emailing and texting me how much they loved it, my younger sister has decided she may want to get married there.... it's full of memories we won't forget, and we hope to be back for my sisters wedding . It's your day, make it a day at The Old Lantern.

e outside, but the day of shifted to inside because of the weather. Our guests loved the atmosphere. Everything was perfectly planned and ran so smoothly. Lisa was incredibly professional and wonderful to work with the day of. Our wedding was incredible, and we loved everything about the Old Lantern Barn.

le to keep a feeling of fun for all of our guests. When we came across the Old Lantern, we were THRILLED!! The grounds are gorgeous and the barn gave us the feeling we were looking for. The owners were a dream to work with and on multiple occasions helped to keep us and our first time officiant calm. We could not have asked for a better experience anywhere else. When you book with the Old Lantern, not only are you getting a lovely space, but also the opportunity to work with people who genuinely wish to make your day perfect. The venue offered to take care of our food (something we and several of the guests are still swooning over), cake and drink for very affordable prices with a large array of choices to keep things personalized to our tastes. We highly recommend The Old Lantern to any couple looking to have the perfect wedding experience.

is top notch as well! We love the Old Lantern Inn and Barn!! Sarah and Cole Dougherty

aying our #1 priority was to be married outdoors, but in the end the set-up inside was so magical it didn't matter at all, and the transition was done so professionally I didn't even end up having to worry about it on the day of (which was very important!) We were planning from a distance and Julie made our lives so much easier by being so organised, and the way the venue is set up it's absolutely great as all the food, drinks and most of the decor are included and easy to plan from a distance. And Chef Roland was brilliant- we got raves about the hors d'oeuvres, especially the lamp chops, potato pancakes with caviar, and small nutmeg soups. My parents and some guests stayed at the Inn and said the breakfast there was delicious too:)

rtable and help us plan our wedding to make it what we wanted. Roland's food in phenomenal with excellent options for a reasonable price. The ambiance cannot be beat in this rustic barn that gives you a real Vermont feel. The inn was provided for our use adding another dimension to our wonderful experience. Beautiful place, excellent food, and unsurpassed service. We would highly recommend the Old Lantern to anyone!!!

us and we thank her for this wonderful experience.

so easy! Julie & Lisa made amazing recommendations and walked us through the entire process. We paid to have Julie decorate (I would highly suggest this!) and the place was STUNNING! I received so many compliments on the decor and wished I could take credit, but it was all The Old Lantern! It rained the day of the wedding so we had the ceremony inside. The second I walked in the door with my bridesmaids, we were given a nice glass of champagne to relax and I felt that everything was under control. I did not have to worry about a thing! When my 2 year old ring bearer decided he did not want to walk down the aisle, the staff swept him away and kept him from crying by giving him snacks and playing with him in the back during the ceremony. To me, that was such a personal touch and it allowed all of us to focus on the ceremony while knowing he was taken care of. For food, we had the lobster risotto, beef wellington, and chicken cordon bleu. The risotto came with a generous chunk of lobster and all of the food was delicious! We also added on some late night grilled cheeses and they were a huge hit- highly recommend! I could go on and on, but all you need to know is that if I could go back and get married again, I would not change a single thing. I can credit a lot of this to the way The Old Lantern Barn is run. They do a fantastic job and I am extremely thankful!

ed countless emails and phone calls from us during the planning process. She also decorated for us which allowed a little relaxation and time to focus on getting ready morning of the wedding. She did an outstanding job and transformed the barn into something out of a dream that will forever be in our memory. Lisa and her staff were professional, helpful and friendly during the ceremony and reception and made sure every detail was taken care of. Lisa was very attentive to our needs and helped our 4 year old son feel comfortable as well. Chef Roland is just the best of the best and all of the food was absolutely incredible. Our guests continue to talk about what an amazing time they had and how beautiful and delicious everything was. We will relive this day for years to come and are very thankful to everyone at the Old Lantern who helped make our day perfect.

ff was fabulous! They kept on top of everything which allowed my husband and I to enjoy ourselves and our guests and the food was delicious! Compliments continue to roll in. This venue is highly recommended by us!

hotographs. We loved the breakfast in the morning and the outdoor seating where our family could congregate. Also, it was so convenient for us to get ready for the wedding and ensure that our last minute details at the venue were correct. Julie helped us with the planning once we decided that we wanted to commit to the venue and she took us through the different steps of the planning process to ensure that we didn't forget any details. She also recommended parts of the event as well since we were unsure of what the "day of" would look like. On our wedding day, Lisa stepped in, helping me to lace my corset, aided in getting everyone on our coach to the church, and was on point for every detail once we arrived at the reception. Our food was waiting for us once we completed pictures and we had time to sit, relax, and ENJOY it! We received so many compliments on the food and wish we could have eaten more of it!

ons, asking the right questions, and helping us put all the amazing finishing touches on what was the most amazing day of our lives. Despite a threat of rain - I can't imagine the day being more perfect. The staff at the OL is PHENOMENAL! Lisa is so patient, attentive and knows exactly how to ease any anxiety or stress from a bride; her years of experience with weddings means she thinks of every single detail. She's also a pro at getting children down the aisle looking adorable even when they start throwing a toddler tantrum right before their flower girl debut! In addition to Lisa, her amazing assistant followed us (Bride and Groom) around, making sure we always had more champagne, helping us get plates of food - I truly got to enjoy every single second of our wedding and reception. The OL was most ideal venue because of it's charm, decor, and all-in-one elements. I loved that it included centerpieces and extra decor, catering, cake, tables/chairs, ceremony location, ceremony chairs. Truly, it was so amazing to go to ONE vendor for all those different elements. We also cannot say enough good things about Chef Roland's delicious food! All of our guests have raved about the food, and we knew it was a winner when we came to the tasting. Truly, we cannot say enough good things about our experience at the Old Lantern Barn (AND their Inn!!).

eeded to ensure our day was perfect. The food is wonderful, and they have so many menu options to choose from! We also rented out the inn for our wedding! It was a great opportunity for the wedding party to hang out and get ready together! We had hair and makeup onsite and having space in the inn to do so made it super easy! No two rooms are the same and the Champagne room is the perfect spot to get ready for a wedding! We highly recommend this location for a wedding any time of the year. :)

utely enjoyed their meals and were well fed. The staff were all so friendly and professional (even when some guests got a little rowdy). The venue was lovely, and even if you had minimal to no decorations it would still be beautiful. I highly recommend this venue to any couple who wants their day to go smoothly and without having to coordinate every detail. The team here takes so much of the planning and work off of your plate which helps to make the event so amazing. I have been to other weddings where so much is asked of the bride and groom- here- they do so much and leave nothing for you so you can enjoy and celebrate. They made the day perfect and allowed myself and my husband to enjoy every little moment. Thank you Old Lantern for the best day ever!!

nn for the weekend, and it was perfect for family and friends, it's cozy, comfortable, and we loved the continental breakfast every morning! The Old Lantern is the best, the food was delicious, and the service impeccable! thank you, thank you, thank you!!! My wedding was the best day ever!

ressful than what many couples experience. Their event planner, Julie, guided us in creating our wedding plan and owners Lisa and Chef Roland Gaujac and their staff used that plan to give us the day of our dreams. The rustic barn with twinkling lights and white paper lanterns created a romantic environment for our guests to dine in. The centerpieces, which incorporated our favorite flowers and our wedding colors, were beautiful, and the food was exquisite. Our guests were still raving about how delicious the wedding cake and entrees were weeks after our wedding date. The expansive green space outside provided a great natural Vermont backdrop for our ceremony and ample space for our guests (especially children) to spread out and mingle during the reception. We were able to provide lawn games and activities for people to enjoy when they weren’t busy dancing. The Old Lantern provides the level of professionalism that comes with years of experience in the wedding industry, while also catering to all your personal details that will make you feel like yours is the only wedding on their calendar. I highly recommend it for an event that’s unique, special, and will leave you with a lifetime of memories.

here I wanted to have my wedding reception and that's what we did on May 14th 2016.. We had such an amazing day!! The food was amazing, everyone still talks about it... The staff was great including Mary Pat who was on her toes with such grace all night working the bar.. It was such a great pleasure working with Julie Olson, she did an amazing job putting everything together for us and adding her own personal touches, I could not have been happier with the was everything turned out.... It was such a nice surprise to see her when we arrived that day, making sure we had everything we needed.. I wish I could push rewind and do it all over again.. Thank you again to all of you for making our day so memorable. Shannon & Eric

looking back on this special day, that what I would appreciate the most was all of the behind the scenes work that the owner, Lisa, did to make the weekend so magical. She took care of the grandparents that stayed at the inn, she calmed the nerves of the parents and wedding party, and she took care of all of the timing and details so that we could enjoy the day. The weather was perfect, the bride and groom were beaming, the food was delicious, and we all had a wonderful time.

autiful is an understatement. It is perfect for a Vermont wedding. Everything about our experience at The Old Lantern deserves more than 5 stars. Our guests have told us that our wedding was the best one they've ever been to. And don't get me started on the food....lets, just say my husband had two servings :) Couples, look no further. This is your wedding venue.

ughout the whole planning process! The food was fabulous, and everything was perfectly planned and timed throughout the day! Lisa and Roland truly have a VT gem of a wedding venue! It was a day we will never forget!

, Julie's attention to detail in working with us, and Lisa's execution of our plan were exquisite. Julie was so quick to respond to all of my questions throughout, and Lisa was so essential the day of. I felt so much calmer seeing her immediately when we arrived-- she immediately brought me whatever I wanted to drink and walked us through the schedule step by step to keep everything running smoothly. Also brought us our food, helped bustle my dress, etc- way beyond your typical venue. Not to mention- I found out after the fact we had a couple hiccups with guests and Lisa handled it without my ever even noticing. I've heard praises from guests on the food too (which I knew was excellent from our tasting dinner!) It was so beautiful and perfect, only wish I could do it all again. thank you so much Lisa, Julie, and Roland. TJ and I could never repay you.

ht and allowed us to have a great evening! We would definitely recommend this venue!

y. My mother told me to wear beige and only give advise when asked. Remember, I'm an event/wedding planner!!! To my delight, the bride and groom decided on a destination wedding in Vermont and asked me to be a part of this adventure of helping to plan the wedding. The icing on the cake was them selecting the Old Lantern Barn as their venue! I help 60 couples a year plan their special day and for the first time, I was part of the wedding party. The Old Lantern was everything I promised my son, his bride and future in-laws it would be. It was also everything I promise all my other couples! It was a great feeling. A beautiful setting, outstanding food created by Chef Roland, an outstanding staff, a fun DJ (Top Hat), a quiet, but very present photographer (Hannah Photography), a wonderful videographer (Todd Stoilov) and many more wonderful vendors. Lisa and Roland Gaujac were the perfect hosts the entire weekend. We could not have asked for a more magical wedding weekend! I would highly recommend the Old Lantern Barn and Inn. Julie Olson

ing for you here and having a coordinator on site is the most helpful thing you can have. They made us feel like family and, you would never know that your not the only ones they are helping because they are so dedicated to you!! I have to give a special thank you to Julie who helped us along the way and guided my husband and I through this process. I also want to thank Lisa who truly made me feel like a queen on my wedding day! I never worried about anything that day because I knew she was by my side and also making sure I was breathing :) After everything was over I honestly felt sad because I fell in love with the place and the people. I can't express how much The Old Lantern made our day so extraordinary. Also, having your ceremony inside is just as beautiful as outside which is why this place was also special because weather is never an issue. I highly recommend this place and if I could do it all over again, I would still choose The Old Lantern! Thank you Lisa, Julie and staff, you guys are amazing!!!

nd and I had to stand around and wait when we could have been dancing. Also, if an open bar is what you want - this is NOT your most affordable option. Lastly - the owner tried to kick our wedding party out of the reception hall when we were having our celebratory drink before greeting the guests for cocktail hour. That was a little odd. You can't rent single rooms in their inn... if you want to stay on site, you have to rent the entire thing. Just a head up! Other than these few quirks - the venue and staff were very professional and accommodating... the food FANTASTIC... and my husband and I had the best day of our lives at the Old Lantern.

could be from planning the day to picking the napkin colors and flowers for center pieces. Everything looked even better they we had hoped! The food, staff and owner Lisa and Roland were incredibly gracious and were there every step of the way on the day of to help make sure everything went smoothly. It is the perfect rustic venue and so close to Burlington. We got so many compliments from our guests about how great the place looked and how amazing the food was. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!

The extra bar area was very helpful before the wedding when we were getting ready. We rented our own chairs, the folding chairs they provide were not very comfortable.
