Venues and event details
Venue	Town	Event details
The Inn at the Round Barn Farm	Waitsfield	Round Barn Farm allows as many as 200 guests and uses its own culinary staff. Booking requires 50% plus a $2,000 non-refundable deposit. Amplified music normally stops at 9:30 pm; a winter reception can reach 11 pm when every Inn room is reserved.
The Barn at Boyden Farm	Cambridge	Boyden prices a complete weekend at $7,095–$9,750 according to the date, for up to 150 guests. Select food from its preferred catering list and price the bar separately. Music finishes at 10:30 pm, followed by guest departure by 11 pm.
The Barn at Smugglers' Notch	Jeffersonville	Smugglers’ Notch links the food booking to its partner caterer. Arrange the menu with that supplier directly; the venue coordination and the catering agreement cover different responsibilities.
Sleepy Hollow	Huntington	Sleepy Hollow’s Round Barn seats 165, with 140 recommended for winter. The published charges distinguish a $5,165 midweek micro event, $6,930 off-season weekend and $10,830 peak weekend; add the stated 9% tax to each.
Retreat Farm	Brattleboro	Retreat Farm’s North Barn can seat 250 for dinner, while a combined indoor ceremony, drinks and reception layout is limited to 136. Its wedding description also lists 200 guests. The rental day is 8 am–10 pm, with later finishes to 11 pm or midnight available by arrangement.
The Old Gray Barn	Dorset	Old Gray Barn publishes room for 200 ceremony chairs and a $3,500–$8,500 date-based fee. Its own catering is required; bringing a cake or dessert is the stated exception to the outside-food restriction.
Riverside Farm	Pittsfield	Riverside’s wedding-events description covers 75–300 guests. Establish the actual barn and layout behind the offer. The named exclusive meal supplier is Vermont Farms Catering.
Zenbarn	Waterbury	Zenbarn advertises events for as many as 200 people. Its in-house food and drink program is part of the booking question, rather than a blank space to fill with any outside supplier.
The Barn at Top of The World	Newport	Top of the World’s barn and church answer different guest-count questions. The reception barn is listed for 170; the separate church has 100 seats.
The Mansfield Barn	Jericho	Mansfield’s standard weekday-based fee is $4,500–$6,500 for a venue listed for 200. A $500 early-payment reduction has its own terms. Its two preferred caterers also exclusively supply alcohol. Music stops at 10:30 pm, with barn use ending at 11 pm.
Lareau Farm	Waitsfield	Lareau’s pavilion accommodates 150. Its own wood-fired oven operation supplies the catering and also offers mobile service, so identify whether the proposal is for a farm event or an off-site meal.

What to ask any barn and farm venue in Vermont

These are the requirements that come with the building instead of with the business, so they apply even where the venue's own website is silent. Ask before you visit. Then ask again in writing.

Is the barn heated, and to what date?

A barn that is glorious in September can be unusable in late October. Ask for the last date they will run a wedding in it, not the last date on the calendar.

Where does the caterer cook?

Many barns have a prep space, not a kitchen. That changes the menu a caterer can quote and it changes the price.

What is the amplified-music cut-off, and what moves it?

Barn venues sit in residential and agricultural neighborhoods. The cut-off is commonly earlier than couples expect and is sometimes negotiable in a specific, stated way.

How many restrooms, and are they permanent?

Trailered restrooms are normal and fine: The number is what matters at 150 guests.

What is the surface between the parking and the ceremony?

Grass, gravel and a slope are the three things that decide whether a guest using a wheelchair or a cane can get to the seat.
