The Tillerman is a special place, and Kate and Jason are special people.

We discovered the Tillerman during a winter trip to Vermont, and it immediately became the one and only wedding venue on our list. If you’re looking for Vermont farmhouse vibes with modern decor, beautiful gardens, green spaces, and cozy little nooks, this could be the venue for you.

Our wedding day, like many other couples’, tops our list of best days ever. No small part of that was the effort put into it by the Tillerman and their staff. To start, they made recommendations for several of our vendors, including our day-of coordinator and live musician, both of which were fantastic. The planning was easy, the Tillerman was flexible, and our point people Mackenzie and Merel were responsive, made excellent suggestions, and worked perfectly with our coordinator to make the day happen, with special touches along the way.

THE FOOD: When I think of wedding food, I am often resigned to the reality that the meal will disappear into history as yet another average piece of chicken. But not a damn day goes by that I don’t think about the meal Justin, the head chef, and his team made for us OUTSIDE over A FIRE. Every single bite across the table was a delicious, tasty treat - and I regret only bringing home three containers of leftovers. I am a better, smarter, stronger person for having had that meal, and I sit more comfortably in this world knowing that my wedding guests are still talking about that chicken. We care a lot about food, and this food cared back.

If you’re like us, then this is the perfect place for you.

My husband and I hosted a small wedding at the Tillerman in their "Summer Kitchen," with our families, and we cannot express enough how great everyone was. The setting is gorgeous, no matter the season, the food is exceptional, and everyone there made us feel incredibly special!

My husband (!!) and I are so happy to have found The Tillerman to host our wedding. If you're looking for a venue with a more unique and relaxed vibe than the cookie-cutter status quo, this is it! The Tillerman has a cozy and bespoke feel, while offering a gorgeously appointed inn and grounds to wander. Big perks included having our immediate families able to stay at the inn with us, The Tillerman's ability to coordinate and host our rehearsal/welcome pizza party, reception, and Sunday brunch, and having the food and bar services all in-house was amazing. More important than any of that, however, is the peace of mind we had knowing that we were in very capable hands. From the early planning stages to the Sunday morning send-off brunch, I couldn't have dreamt of a better team to have execute our wedding weekend.
Working with Kate, Jason, Chef Justin & Merel was a delight- they made it a fun experience and I truly miss chatting with them regularly! I never doubted that we were on the same page, they were able to pick up on our vision and bring it to life for an unbelievably fun weekend. Kate, coordinator-extraordinaire, always answered all of my frenzied (and sometimes outlandish) questions in her calm, cool, and collected way. I knew it would be smooth sailing under her keen eye! Her husband, Jason, who oversees the beverage services (amongst many other things) was a blast to choose our drinks with. We love natural wines and we were able to put together an incredible selection to serve, alongside a thoughtful curation of beers and cocktails. Chef Justin served up the wedding food to end all wedding food- his outdoor cooking, seasonal + exciting vegetable dishes, pizza, and straight-up charisma blew everyone away! Merel was invaluable in the days leading up to the wedding and throughout the weekend, she managed everything that popped up with ease and was so fun throughout the process!
The Tillerman is all about the small, meaningful details which really shone throughout the event. Everything felt intentional and well considered, coming together into pure magic. The property itself is beautiful (the creek provides a great photo backdrop!), and reveals many different areas to enjoy which we utilized for our various different wedding festivities. Once the sun went down, it was lovely having the bonfires ablaze and sitting around them making memories until the wee hours. Our guests constantly remark to us how at ease they felt at the wedding- many of them now planning their own trips to stay at The Tillerman. I can't recommend them enough for your special day (or weekend!)!
