Venue Rental

Venue rentals include 4 hours of event time, with an additional 4 hours of setup time prior to the start of the event (earliest arrival is 9:00am). Additional event time is available at $500/hour. “Event Time” is calculated from guest arrival until the conclusion of entertainment and bar services.

The venue fee includes much more than the space itself:

In-House Bar Service

A full bar is available, including a wide variety of beer, wine and liquor as well as extensive non-alcohol options. The Old Lantern Events Barn holds a Vermont State Liquor License and all required insurance.

Our standard bar service charge is $250 per 100 guests. This is discounted 50% for open bars charged by consumption, and the service charge is eliminated for package-based open bars. Please see our bar services page for more detailed information about bar pricing & offerings!

In-House Catering

Our catering partners have been selected to offer our clients a wide range of food options while ensuring the quality of both the food and service remains top tier for a seamless event day. Outside catering will be considered on a case by case basis – please reach out to our events team if you have something in mind that you’d like to explore!
