Turning Stone Farm

uniquely magical and beautiful venue, there is the sense that the barn and it’s surrounding are not merely a backdrop to your wedding, but a part of the event itself. Our guests all noted the “choose your own adventure” feeling of our wedding, as people enjoyed music and dancing indoors, the massive bonfire out back, or spreading out on the lawn to look at the blood red harvest moon that rose over the field! No matter which way you turned, Turning Stone Farm delivered something amazing. In addition to the beauty of the venue itself, Jennifer Ranz was exceptional at helping us put our big day together. Communicative and attentive throughout the entire process we also were greatly aided by hiring her as a day-of-coordinator, as she was familiar with all of the vendors and ensured everything ran smoothly, so we could focus on our family and friends. She also took the time to get to know us and better understand what we wanted so that the wedding we had envisioned was brought to fruition. If you’re looking to get married amidst the majestic grandeur of the Northeast Kingdom, there is no better place than Turning Stone Farm! Plus, Jennifer’s two dogs are the best!

ues and felt that they were more "wedding factories" where weddings were happening all the time. We did NOT get this vibe at Turning Stone, as Jennifer only has one wedding per weekend and really works with you the whole time. Beforehand, she was very communicative through email, and she was very helpful in the week leading up to the day as well. We also hired her as our day of coordinator - and I'd highly recommend that! She helped with all the vendors coming in and out so that we didn't have to worry about that. Also, on the day of the wedding, my wedding party got ready in the apartment and it was so helpful to have that be right there on site. We would highly recommend Turning Stone Farm!

e, but also retains a sense of what it used to be, a place where animals lived and hay was stored. In terms of the wedding, what thrilled us was the simplicity. We did absolutely no decorating - the barn and lights are beautiful as is. We put some flowers on Jennifer's tables and were ready to go! Jennifer has some great contacts for local caterers, bartenders, photographers, etc. Not only is this place absolutely beautiful, but getting married here is a great way to support Greensboro's economy and the wonderful people who live there.

everything was. Highly recommend working with Turning Stone Farm for next event!

rs for all of our needs. Every one in Greensboro who is in the wedding industry knows each other, which was a huge help sifting through potential vendors and for streamlining the process day-of (and every one is super nice, including her son and daughter who helped us with sound and day-of coordination). The barn is beautiful, it’s a unique and magical spot for a wedding, or any celebration, really. It’s dog friendly and kid-friendly, if that’s what you want at your wedding; there’s plenty of places for both to run around without worries about cars, getting lost in the woods, etc. There is beautiful art decorating the wall and an eclectic chair collection, and the bridal suite is spacious and super comfortable. There are cool little side areas (connected to the main area but separated) with comfortable chairs and tables, where we set up the bar, which was great for our older guests later in the evening or friends when they wanted to get away from the dance floor. The tables and chairs provided by Jennifer and included in the rental fee are high quality, comfortable, and gorgeous. While weather was perfect, our rain contingency plan would have been perfect as well—inside the barn in front of the big open window and rain on the barn roof. The fairy lights and “wooden cathedral” effect of the high ceilings lend itself to a beautiful, warm, relaxed, and slightly whimsical theme, which feels rustic without being totally in the woods or country. Truly, pictures don’t do the “feel” of Turning Stone Farm justice. One thing I really enjoyed about it is that Jennifer lets you decorate and encourages your creativity — we added fairy lights, dusty rose runners, huge lush bouquets (from Blossoming Bough), and filled thrifted mismatched glass vases with water and floating candles for extra warmth, tied together with silver dollar eucalyptus and gold accents. While it’s a bit more work on your end compared to someone who decorates for you, you can really make it your own. To be honest, though, the venue carries itself; it doesn’t need much at all because it’s so stately and special. We got married in the garden, family photos in the pear orchard, had cocktail hour by the barn, and enjoyed the reception in the barn itself. We had a bonfire at the end of the night and some friends stayed over night to camp on-site, and others stayed in nearby Air B&Bs (we provided a shuttle that ran back and forth). The one thing I wish I had clarified was when the night would end - I was under the impression that we were allowed to hang out until late as long as we kept music low, but we had to start clearing people out around midnight. However, the barn is attached to Jennifer’s home and I completely understand wrapping up around then, especially with a bunch of people around a big fire after drinking for several hours. Regardless, it was an amazing evening and Jennifer and her lovely family really made it happen. They were a joy to work with and the space is beautiful—I’m still hearing compliments directly and through the grapevine. Thank you so much Jennifer and the TSF team!

e because I couldn't believe this huge beautiful space would be this reasonably priced. Getting ready for our wedding was a breeze, they took care of everything and even stuck around during to make sure everything went smoothly. All ew needed for decoration was literally flowers because the lighting and the set up in the barn was so beautiful it needing absolutely nothing...we didn't even cover the tables because they were so beautiful. Jennifer had a vendor list ready for us...from transportation to food and everything in between. Everyone was extremely affordable and beyond friendly. Our wedding would not have been the same without this wonderful place and wonderful people

o opted to rent a tent right outside the barn. The land and grounds are stunning. Jennifer was a pleasure to work with and has relationships with a lot of excellent vendors in the area. If you want the authentic, beautiful Vermont wedding, this is the spot.

noon wedding, dinner and dancing beyond special. We highly recommend this amazing venue!

er the years whenever I stopped to visit during Vermont's Artist Studio weekends, and just knew our wedding would be memorable in her barn. It was! The views are breathtaking and the venue is magical, regardless of weather. I cannot stress enough how much we enjoyed our special day in her beautiful barn. She has truly made it a special place!

ts inside set the mood and we had fun taking pictures all over the property. Jennifer herself was helpful throughout the whole process of planning and was able to assist with the extra details, as well as working with our other vendors.
