a farm-to-table love story at the tillerman inn in bristol, vermont - vermont weddings
“Vermont’s importance in Kate and Hannah’s story stretches back long before their wedding day. While Kate first fell in love with the state during her college years, the couple built their shared connection to Vermont early in their relationship. After meeting in Boston, the couple’s first weekend getaway together was to Burlington’s Oktoberfest in fall 2019, which included a memorable dinner at The Bobcat Café in Bristol (just down the road from their future wedding venue!) From that first trip onward, Vermont became a place they returned to again and again, visiting loved ones, exploring Shelburne Farms, skiing in Killington, and discovering new breweries along the way. Over time, it became one of their favorite places to relax, adventure, and reconnect.
When Kate and Hannah discovered The Tillerman, everything seemed to fall into place. The venue’s self-described vibe, “New England meets Northern California, meets a flower market, meets a farmer’s market, meets a warm, vibrant community,” perfectlycaptured what they envisioned! From the wood-fired, locally sourced menu to the cozy farmhouse inn that welcomed both families onsite, it felt like the ideal setting to celebrate the next chapter of their love story.
The weekend kicked off with an intimate family dinner at the restaurant, setting the tone for togetherness and celebration. By the end of the weekend, The Tillerman had become a place filled with shared memories, one that will always hold a special place in their hearts…”
