On our wedding day, Nick was there from start to finish, helping us vendors and keeping everything running smoothly. We loved that they allowed us to bring in our own florist and caterer, which gave us total creative control. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, intimate and remote, yet only 30 minutes from Burlington, and the wine selection is incredible.

I love the Intervale Center, it is so beautiful! I knew that by choosing to get married there in July, we could really cut back on our decorations and let the landscaped grounds really shine. This venue is very conveniently located to Burlington, VT, but doesn't feel like you're in a city. It feels quiet and somewhat secluded. The rental/site fee was very affordable (and what you pay goes to a good cause!) and their guide book/post-booking-brochure is really helpful. They provide tables and chairs which are probably ample if you are having a small shindig, though you will likely want to cover the tables as they are not very pretty! Or you can always rent tables and chairs at additional cost. Most of what they offer is very DIY, so get some friends together (we set up in less than an hour with our friends). Our wedding here was pretty low-key with about 40 guests, but I think this could work for more formal gatherings too. My top of mind words to describe it would be "Pretty, local, affordable".

Awarded Best of Zola
(9/27/25; 130 people) 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 firepit 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!
