We highly recommend the Old Lantern as a wedding venue to any engaged couple looking for the ultimate team to make your wedding day/weekend a dream! From our stay at the Inn to the gorgeous location/venue, we could not have asked for a better wedding experience! Julie supported us every step of the way throughout the planning stages and Lisa executed a seamless wedding day, both whom we felt immediately comfortable with and confident in. We appreciate all of the hard work that went into our perfect wedding day, none of which could’ve been made possible without Julie, Lisa, and the whole Old Lantern staff! Reviewed on 21-10-2023

Julie, the old lantern, and Lisa were so amazing! Not only are they pros at this, but we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Julie was there every step of the way to ask me questions about things I hadn’t even thought of yet. They are kind, generous, and amazing to work with! And on top of the lovely people, the venue is gorgeous! I can’t recommend the old lantern enough! Reviewed on 07-10-2023

Julie and the OLI team made having a wedding so smooth and fun! She is absolutely amazing at what she does. They supported my dream wedding and truly made it come to life. It was a beautiful rustic, cottage core, fairytale wedding and I could not be more thankful for the OLI family for everything. Reviewed on 04-10-2023
Abby Kaye(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-07-2023 The feedback that we received from our guests was comprehensive and absolutely tremendous! We feel like they knocked it out of the park on every tier including the inn. One of our favorite comments was that the venue is very classy yet warm and inviting. Lisa, the owner, was an absolute joy to work with and took a very active role throughout the three-day holiday weekend. Ashley, Mary Catherine, and Jocelyn were so much fun behind the bar that it was like they were guests…very, very professional guests! :) Julie Martin Olson was our wedding planner/sensei/spirit guide the months leading up to the wedding, and it was like she had superpowers during the events. Her intuition was uncanny; we would feverishly think of something that we needed just to turn around and find Julie holding it with a big smile on her face. Lisa and Julie’s strong relationships with local vendors allowed us to pluck the crown jewels of the area. We literally couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you everyone!Abby & Matt 7.2.23 Reviewed on 05-07-2023

The Old Lantern in such an amazing venue. We knew it was the one when we first toured the place with Julie. It’s beautiful on its own but it exceeded our expectations on the actual day. Lisa was also very helpful, and we appreciated all her advice and words of encouragement throughout our wedding day. Julie and the Gaujacs made our dream come to life. The barn was so spacious and had various areas inside and outside for guests to mingle and enjoy the views. We also stayed at the Inn with our bridal party which was a fantastic idea. It was so convenient to have stayed on location with our bridesmaids and groomsmen and made for an incredibly fun couple of nights. We also found a lot of our vendors through the Old Lantern which made wedding planning go a lot easier. Our guests spoke very highly of the venue as well. We had the best time on our special day and it was all thanks to the Old Lantern and our wonderful vendors!! Reviewed on 18-06-2023
Beth Diamond(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-10-2022 The Old Lantern was everything we could have asked for! Cozy fall atmosphere and beautiful decorations. Julie the planner and Lisa the day-of person were both very kind and professional. They made things easy and took care of hiccups accordingly. We had the ceremony outside under the arbor and the reception inside the barn. The bar area was great for cocktail hour, relaxed but rustic, and they had a pool table which was great for photos. They have a bridal room as well for getting ready, which was spacious and a good place to put all of our extra stuff. It was a great price as well compared to similar venues. I can't recommend it enough really! Reviewed on 04-12-2022
Jillian Reagan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-10-2022 Wow-I don't even know where to begin with this review because there are SO many amazing things to highlight about The Old Lantern. The team they have was truly incredible to work with every step of the way. From actually driving up to Vermont (we're Boston locals) to get a private tour, to attending a private dinner to taste the food & drink offerings, to having a million back and forth emails and Zoom calls to help with the planning, and finally leading up to the week and day of-everyone was spectacular and truly so helpful in this normally hectic process. Julie was extremely helpful and actually served more so as an advisor to me and my husband as we had to navigate through making certain decisions and choices and really was exactly the kind of support I needed! Lisa and Roland were also amazing the day of with all of the timing, logistical elements, and of course with serving the most delicious food and drinks. I even got a lot of compliments from our wedding party and guests on the waitstaff and event staff and how friendly and helpful they were!Honestly they went above and beyond everything I had expected we would be getting for the cost of the venue and I am very grateful to have had a perfect wedding because of them!

The space was perfect and their team helped me with seating charts, room layouts, details/decor, and logistics on any rentals, etc.If you are considering them as a vendor, just say yes.

DAVID TABOR(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-09-2020 It's been a crazy year - COVID-19, and our original venue was no longer available to us - 55 days before the wedding. After a quick search by my daughter and her then fiance, we quickly learned that there were few venues in Vermont that could 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! Reviewed on 22-09-2020

Steph Smith(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-06-2019 The Old Lantern was the perfect spot for our wedding. We were planning from out-of-town and so having a venue where they handle so much of the organization and are there to help hold your hand through the process was key. We had both our Ceremony 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.

Meg O'Connor(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-07-2019 The Old Lantern is one amazing wedding venue! When my now husband and I began our quest for a place to celebrate our wedding, we were instantly drawn to The Old Lantern for the following reasons: affordability compared to similar venues, amount 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! Reviewed on 16-08-2019

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!

The owner and coordinator both were incredibly helpful and warm, and incredibly professional and organized, 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! Reviewed on 30-10-2018

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!

Julie was our fearless leader throughout our engagement and lessened the stress of wedding planning by tenfold.

Mia Kano(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-07-2018 When people complimented us on our wedding, all we could say was, \"We didn't do much...we just chose an amazing venue!!\" Seriously, Old Lantern took care of everything! Julie and Lisa were professional and timely throughout the process, which was 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. Reviewed on 25-08-2018
Liz Robertson-Christ(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-08-2018 Wow! We just hosted a wedding at the Old Lantern Barn and were totally blown away by what an amazing job they did. From the beginning, Lisa and Julie were great to work with--answering many questions, being incredibly flexible with our wants and 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! Reviewed on 09-08-2018

From the start Julie was so helpful and really helped us envision what our reception would be like, even as we stood in 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.

We did not have a wedding planner, but Julie walked us through the whole process and was available to chat whenever we needed to. Everything was so 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.

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.

Then Lisa executes on the day. We had a nontraditional ceremony set up and Lisa killed it--we couldn't have been happier! 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.

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.

We got married at the Old Lantern this August and were so happy with the choice. It was beautiful, the food was great and everyone had a great time- even despite being rained out! I thought I'd be really sad about the rain as we'd started out saying 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:) Reviewed on 06-11-2016
Israel Provoncha(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-12-2017 Beautiful spot with absolutely excellent food. We were married there this past June (2016). Roland and Lisa were more than gracious hosts going out of their way to make sure our day was special. Lisa went out of her way to make us feel comfortable 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.

Melanie Buonanno(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-10-2016 I celebrated my wedding at The Old Lantern Barn last weekend and it was the best decision I made (aside from my husband, of course!). From the second I walked in the building, I knew it was where we should get married. The planning process was 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! Reviewed on 29-10-2016

Julie helped us with the details leading up to our big day and welcomed 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.

Kelly Mizelle(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-09-2016 I cannot say enough about how amazing the Old Lantern Inn and Barn was for our wedding reception. We chose to use the Inn as well and it was such a great experience. The Inn is spacious and is even bigger and more beautiful than it appears in photographs. 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!

The decor, vibe, location was exactly what we wanted in a Vermont wedding. Julie and Lisa made wedding planning so much easier by sharing their advice and recommendations, 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.

The Old Lantern is a beautiful venue. The staff were tremendously helpful and approachable. Be vigilent and clear on the details that are important to you, though. When we went to cut the cake for our photo op there was no knife and my husband 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! \r\rOther 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.
