Stowe Wedding and Event Catering at The Barn at Smugglers’ Notch
Catering Stowe weddings and events at The Barn at Smugglers’ Notch is a service we take great pride in. A custom menu is created for each event to match the vision and budget of each client. No two clients have the same expectations for their special event, therefore we listen to the vision of our clients and work together to develop a custom menu that matches that vision.
The Barn at Smugglers’ Notch is the latest venture from husband and wife team, Steve and Jennifer. Steve is a Sommelier and is in the process of completing his Diploma with Wine and Sprits Education Trust and has complete the French Wine Scholar program. Jennifer has been classically trained at a cooking school in Florence, Italy. Steve and Jennifer formerly lived in Tuscany, Italy where they renovated a 14th Century Monastery and turned into an “agriturismo” with 8 rental apartments in the converted Villa. We hosted guests on holiday as well as weddings and other events. We even grew and produced our own olive oil.
The Barn at Smugglers’ Notch is a continuation of our experiences at our Tuscan Agriturismo.
We have built a high end, professional commercial kitchen that is on site at The Barn. There are other wedding venues with rustic kitchens for warming food that was prepared elsewhere. That was not our vision. Our expectations for only the best quality and service led us to make the huge investment required to build a state of the art kitchen on site so all catering could be prepared on site. Re-heated meals are common at many venues and one of the reasons that wedding fare often underwhelms. At our venue, all catering is created on site. This has lead to the guests at our events telling us, “This is the best food we have ever had at a wedding or event.” This alone has a huge positive impact on the experience of your guests and the success of your event.
We have partnered with Sugarsnap Catering and their founder and owner, Abby to bring you locally sourced and seasonally inspired menus: The Ultimate Farm to Table experience. Sugarsnap is unique in that they own their own farm and have been catering farm to table since 2003. Although there is plenty of culinary genius to go around, our chefs love to engage guests with fun and interactive experiences such as stations, goat and pig roasts, smokers, raw & sushi bars and most anything you can imagine. Haute cuisine with a fun flair! Our team loves to create unique experiences, so please do not be afraid to ask. The catering team works with each couple to develop a menu that best meets their vision and budget. Sugarsnap has an experienced team of Event Coordinators that will walk you through the process of developing the menu for your memorable event.
