To the right is a room for hosting an event, such as the VT Womenpreneur Conference I attended. There is room for 50 chairs, a food table, and in the very back, a bar. It is a warm and inviting venue and the staff was very helpful and friendly.

Was the merch girl a charming joy sprite? Yep! Were people dancing and swaying and smiling AND LOVING LIFE MUSIC AFTER TWO YEARS OF LOCK DOWN? yassss but here's what broke my heart with poignancy. 3 girls - women! out front working the gig heard I turned 60 that night and I had driven 7 hours for the privilege. heard because I said lol I asked if there were any posters of the night lying around because it would mean a lot to me. So a few songs at the end of the two hour show, one of those three angels of kindness found me in the crowd and excitedly gave me the poster she dug out in back and hurried away. for free. I owe her a kiss as a loving gesture of kindness in return for hers. that's the higher ground they're talking about. always love hate will get you every time! - Nada surf

I'd like to make an exception to that and give an enthusiastic thumbs-up to our local board game cafe, The Boardroom - Board Game Cafe in Burlington (literally just across the river from Winooski, at the Chace Mill). Lots of metro areas have boardgame cafes where you can drop in, play a game, get a bite to eat, and hang out, but mysteriously, Chittenden County didn't until seven weeks ago. The staff (Kerry, Preston, and Justin are the folks we've interacted with) are super friendly and super knowledgeable -- if you walk in and say "I want a game that involves livestock and aliens that can be played in under an hour and that takes less than ten minutes to learn" their eyes will unfocus for a second and then they'll go "Right!" and lead you right to said game. And then they'll helpfully explain the rules to whatever extent you need help. Apparently they know all the rules for every game ever created. They have, literally, hundreds of games, for every age and skill level. The food there is very good also -- they have giant pretzels, plates of pickles, sammiches of all kinds, drinks, coffee, you name it. At the end of every session, they bring you complementary cotton candy. What's not to like? I do not own stock in The Board Room nor do I expect to gain materially by posting this over-the-top review. I just want them to stay open and prosper so *I* can hang out there and play games.

For more details as to why Danielle is one of the best humans around, please read on... After our wedding was postponed due to the pandemic, and our first attempt at an international elopement was canceled, we decided to elope in the Catskills.  With six weeks notice, Danielle was able to help us coordinate and design an incredible elopement, including the ceremony, brunch, and dinner.  Leading up to our elopement, we were in close communication with Danielle, discussing our priorities and what type of design we were looking for.  We went back and forth on design elements, and she welcomed our input.  Danielle was able to curate an elopement based on our budget and wants and was genuinely excited during the entire process.  She wanted this day to be just as memorable as we did.   Danielle coordinated with vendors on our behalf, coordinating a greenery runner for dinner with the existing florist that we were already working with for our bouquet and boutonniere. She found vendor options for brunch and dinner, taking into account our food preferences, and presented us with a wide range to choose from based on our budget.  She was also able to use her network to find us the perfect charcuterie board to compliment our dinner.   The day before our elopement, Danielle and our photographer scouted for the perfect brunch location.  We're told that she cleaned algae and pools of water off of the designated brunch rock at the waterfall so that it would be dry the next day (it had rained the day before).  The day of our elopement, Danielle lugged everything for brunch down to the waterfall (she's a beast!) and had it all set up for us when we arrived after our mountain ceremony.  She also kindly shooed people away from the spot that she had so meticulously picked out the day before.  Danielle was in constant communication with our photographer, so that she knew exactly when we would be arriving.   While the design of our brunch was absolutely stunning (plating of food, candles, pillows, blankets, even a comfy pad to sit on), it was the little touches that really impressed us.  Danielle got us fresh coffee when the existing coffee from our brunch vendor had just sat out too long and had some additional surprises in store.  She picked out a location that gave us the most amazing view of the waterfall while enjoying chicken and waffles and prosecco.  A few hours after brunch, Danielle arrived at our Airbnb to start arranging everything for our dinner.  We left for a sunset hike and Danielle went to work.  She completely redesigned the patio of our Airbnb (with the host's permission) for the most intimate and perfect elopement dinner, including moving a very large gas grill, table, patio furniture, etc.  She even restrung the host's bistro lights so that it was a continuous line of lit bulbs with the burned out lights out of view! Danielle ordered our dinner for us on our elopement day and helped us pivot when the original restaurant closed for the day unexpectedly.  I can't forget to mention that Danielle is a serious fire whisperer!  She started fires for us the night before our elopement and the night of and took over maintaining it on our elopement so that we could relax and enjoy the evening.  She can seriously do it all. While we had a schedule of events for the day, the communication between Danielle and our photographer allowed for the timeline to shift so that to us, everything seemed to occur seamlessly even when we were "off schedule" by an hour, which I know is no easy task.  Danielle surprised us with so many additional touches on our elopement day, surprises that I feel I shouldn't list so that future clients get to experience the same joy that we did when we discovered the additional touches. I'm betting that she also did so many additional little things that we had no idea about. And it honestly felt like we were hanging out with a friend that was busting their butt to give us the most amazing elopement day.  Seriously. Danielle is absolutely amazing and made our elopement so incredibly special and memorable.  Stop reading this review and go book Grandest Gatherings for your next event NOW! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?

Trying to plan this day from states away would have been near impossible without the help from Grandest Gatherings. Danielle has such style and a mind for design and colors. I wanted to be surprised the day of and she completely delivered. Our picnic was stunning, she thought of every little detail even down to having a sleeping pad under the blanket to make sure we were comfortable. As if having someone plan out your elopement and hiking about 3 miles round trip while lugging a charcuterie board and pillows wasn't enough, she's such a friendly bubbly person! I felt like we were friends right away. I'm currently looking for reasons to have her plan another event because it was that magical.

I wanted it to be delivered during school hours, and wanted to make sure it would get there in time. The woman who answered the call was so friendly and said that they noticed it was being delivered to a school when they received the order and were already planning on delivering it during school hours.

Shout out to the amazing customer service at Chappell's Florist, and thank you so much for getting this delivered on time.
