The West Monitor Barn Reviews

Reviewed On 1/04/2019 by Carol P
We had a wonderful experience with the West Monitor Barn and the VYCC folks! Laura is super helpful and quite responsive; their barn is a beautiful blank slate for you to DIY; their grounds are perfect for outside ceremonies and cocktail hours...
; they are super close to several convenient lodging options; and VYCC does incredible work so your site fee goes towards helping their great mission. There are only two reasons why I give it four stars, instead of five. And those reasons should all be taken as a grain of salt b/c they came down to miscommunications on both sides! (1) When we were initially trying to lock down a final date with them, there were several miscommunications and we ended up losing two dates that we had been initially told were available. Take this with a grain of salt - it was over the holidays; Laura was on vacation; and apparently a couple who had been holding onto an unsigned contract for about month unexpectedly emerged and submitted it to snag one of the dates. This experience didn't truly detract from our overall experience, but it did definitely cause some stress at the outset. (2) My husband really wanted green/trees as a backdrop to our ceremony, so Laura suggested a part of their land that isn't usually used for ceremonies so it is covered with high grasses. We loved the idea, and she said "we can mow that area." My husband and I interpreted that that the VYCC would be able to mow it down, while Laura actually meant that we would have to do it ourselves. Again, another grain of salt - this was another miscommunication, but definitely resulted in a scramble and several (very sweaty) days with our weed wacker and tiny push mower to clear our ceremony site. Overall, I would 100% recommend the West Monitor Barn, but I would also caution those who do end up picking this picturesque venue to clarify any questions/decisions made!

The West Monitor Barn was the perfect location for our wedding and our day could not have gone better! From the moment we toured the barn and met with Cae we knew it would be the perfect place for us. The location and barn are gorgeous and ever...
y staff member we worked with was friendly and helpful. We worked with Laura thorughout the year planning for our big day and she was absolutely wonderful! She worked with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was in the loop and it took a lot of the stress off of us. One of the things they do, that most other venues don't, is only have one wedding a weekend. This was such a big plus for us as it allowed us to get in early to set up on Friday for our Saturday wedding, and allowed time for cleanup on Sunday. Laura also did our flowers (Unfurled Vermont) and they were gorgeous!! We would recommend this venue a thousand times over and had a wonderful experience!

There are not enough nice things we can say about the West Monitor Barn and our experience working with the folks at VYCC for our wedding. We were initially drawn to the barn because of it’s gorgeous location and stunning photos from previous ...
weddings, and were sold on it when we found out all of our rental money goes right back to the VYCC, since conservation is important to us. Booking a wedding venue as-is (no catering, bar service, decorations, etc.) can definitely be difficult and make for a time-intensive planning process (AND we were an out of state couple) but the VYCC team was so wonderful and responsive, from our first tour and visit through to the next-day clean up process. They were flexible with us, allowing us to visit the barn when we were able to be in town, even when there were other events going on, staying in constant email contact in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and supported our vendors along the way. Our only “dislike” about the Monitor Barn is that they have an exclusive bar-service contract with Bevo, who we had a mixed experience with. It would have been nice to shop around for a bar service that we chose ourselves. Overall, the staff, space, and experience with West Monitor Barn was amazing (and our photos could not have turned out better with the barn and the mountains as our backdrop, even in the rain!)
