“the tillerman is the PERFECT vermont wedding venue (and hotel... and restaurant... and, honestly, just a perfect place in general). we live nearby and have always loved the tillerman for its incredible food - their pizza and veggie dishes, all sourced locally, are to die for - and their immaculate, rustic, historical new england design vibes. when we got engaged, we knew we wanted to celebrate at the tillerman. It was the best decision we made.

from the start, kenzie and the entire team were on top of everything and always happy to answer questions from this overwhelmed bride. they helped us create a wedding experience even more magical than we imagined. we're continuing to hear from our guests how much they loved the tillerman (the food in particular got rave reviews), and we're so, so, so grateful to kenzie and the tillerman for helping us bring our dream wedding to life. we HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful, down-to-earth, perfectly vermont wedding venue.”

we hosted a small wedding at the tillerman in 2026 and it was absolutely perfect. the planning process was made so easy by kenzie and team who put together guides and were in communication with us the whole time. the food was unbelievable, most guests said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had, and i loved the family style dining. from the woodland ceremony site to the adorable restaurant to the vintage barn, the tillerman had the perfect vibes and we had to do extremely minimal decorating. instead of picking out napkin colors and decorating a plain banquet hall, we got to focus on the ceremony and little details that mattered to us. if we had to go back and start over, we would easily choose the tillerman again!

“as you predicted when we toured the venue, we heard multiple “best wedding food ever" comments. the space you guys have is so unique and special, and i think the ability to dance both under the tent and in the barn really pushed the experience to the next level. and you know erik and i had a soft spot for the river ceremony site from the very beginning - for me, i think that spot is still one of the most memorable parts of the whole weekend. i feel like i could go on and on about how well the tillerman showed up for us, both the physical space and natural beauty, as well as the rockstar team behind it…you guys are the best and I genuinely think some of our friends getting married this year are jealous they didn't think to use the tillerman as their wedding venue. you guys created the most memorable weekend of our lives and we are forever grateful. and we feel very fortunate that we get to come back for years to come, stay at the inn, and eat more of the onion pizza. :) ”

what makes the tillerman so unique is the feeling it creates. it feels like home. kate, jason, kenzie, and the entire tillerman crew went above and beyond to make us and our guests feel so cared for.

we truly can’t imagine a more perfect place to get married. if you’re looking for a venue that is breathtakingly beautiful, serves exceptional food, and makes every guest feel welcome, the tillerman is simply one of a kind. we can’t wait to come back!!!!!!”

“we got married at the tillerman and it was the most incredible experience. the staff were so kind and accommodating from day one and made the entire year of planning feel easy. our guests are still talking about how it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. one of my friends with dietary restrictions was thrilled when they brought her a personal pizza that fit her needs. such a thoughtful touch.

the space is beautiful, from the restaurant to the rooms, and everything felt warm and special. even breakfast both mornings was wonderful, and the woman who helped us was so kind to my family. we felt completely cared for and can’t imagine a better place to have gotten married.”

“it is hard to sum up how special of a place the tillerman is. we feel so lucky that we were able to have our wedding there and have endless gratitude for the tillerman team for giving us the best weekend of our lives. from our first conversation with kenzie, we immediately felt that this is not your normal wedding venue. jason, kate, kenzie, merel, and the entire tillerman team have created an environment and experience that magically combines unique intentionality with flawless execution. as a couple planning from CA, we felt deeply cared for and we always knew we were in the best hands. we were already in love with the tillerman and their wedding process even before we stepped foot on property. the easiest and best part of the entire planning process was every touchpoint with the tillerman team. menu & beverage planning was a joy and the genuine care for sourcing locally, bringing a unique farm to table experience to guests, and letting couples be creative in crafting their event. merel & kenzie even made custom menu art and the most incredible printed materials for us. jason sourced such a fantastic list of beverages for us and we had the kindest, best bartenders. it is a unique combo to be able to give guests incredible food & bev and an incredible, seamless guest experience and the tillerman cares deeply about both; you can tell it is so woven into their ethos. if i could have kenzie plan & execute every event in my life i would be thrilled. and truly... i cannot tell you how many people came up to us to say that this was the best wedding food they have ever had. it is incredible what chef taylor & the whole team does. in addition to a stunning ceremony location where you can hear the river, to the perfect party barn, to the best accommodations that allowed our families to be together the whole weekend, every nook and cranny at the tillerman is special. our guests loved exploring “the cozy” and sitting by the fire pit and I felt like I would blink and the tillerman had transformed the space and thought of something unique for the guest experience. every photo is stunning because of the natural beauty of the tillerman. we also were able to have an incredible family kick off dinner at the restaurant and we all couldn't get enough of the property. we feel so beyond lucky to have found the tillerman and it will forever be a special place to us. if you are looking for a venue that cares deeply about you as a couple, is the antithesis of a cookie cutter wedding venue, is kind and professional, and goes above & beyond in every aspect, then look no further. we are so grateful for the amount of love and care that was put in by every single person at the tillerman. we can't wait to be back!”

“the tillerman has a whimsical, cozy, and quaint feel that you can't understand until you've been there. my husband and i had a date night at the tillerman before deciding to make it our wedding venue for our 30-person wedding. our wedding day was MAGICAL and we never wanted to leave the inn. our wedding day was rainy, but mackenzie and her team made sure we got our outdoor " i do's" before taking cover in the barn for the rest of the evening. mackenzie was such a breeze to communicate with leading up to the day and on the day. i am so grateful to have had her involved. i HIGHLY recommend them for your wedding.”

“my husband and i got married at the tillerman in june and the whole experience was exceptional. the venue itself is lovely, the perfect mix of historical charm and modern updates. what really made the difference though was the amazing staff. kenzie coordinated with us as we were planning the wedding and was so friendly and helpful, and responded to a million emails that i sent her with different questions. the day of, the staff was on top of every detail and served an incredible meal that many guests said was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding, if not the best food they'd had ever! we feel so lucky to have found the tillerman and would recommend it to anyone looking to have a quintessential vermont wedding.”
