At The Barn at Smugglers’ Notch, our elegant covered patio lounge is a favorite location for guests at our Vermont Wedding Venue to enjoy our panoramic views and outdoor spaces, including the great lawn and our wildflower meadow. There are 5 sets of double glass doors that lead to the covered patio lounge. There are three levels of lighting on the patio as well as ceiling fans and white washed wood ceilings. The lounge is central to our cocktail hours, where guests mingle while taking in the views. There is an outside bar adjacent to the patio lounge as well as our inside bar. The lounge furniture consists of two sectional lounge areas. Each sectional is comprised of a sofa, coffee table, side chairs and end tables. In between the two sectionals there are high top tables with bar stools. Beyond the covered patio, there is another patio with cafe seating for 16 guests at 4 tables.

I am [very] often asked for wedding planning advice. I think that most brides and grooms expect my answer to be related to the pretty color scheme or other lovely details . . .⁣

🌸⁣

So they are usually a bit taken back when I immediately go to the timeline. It's my number one area of focus.⁣

👰⁣

Why? Because far too many couples accidentally create wedding day timelines that invite constant rushing alongside more opportunities for stress and anxiety.⁣

🙋🏻⁣

Which to me, is a serious no-no on the wedding day. My best advice: build a timeline that allows for more soaking in. Soaking in the moments with your people. Soaking in the moments with your new wifey or hubs. Soaking in the music, actually eating the food and taking photos without a care about what's next in the day.⁣

😍⁣

Spread it all out, and remember that this day will fly by as quickly as yesterday. Give yourselves a chance to be present
