About

The Tillerman Inn & Restaurant is a comfortable wedding venue located in Bristol, Vermont. This inn dates back to the 1790s, but has been thoughtfully restored to include the latest conveniences while honoring its roots. Great care has been given to even the smallest detail, creating a venue for your milestone that feels like home.

Facilities and Capacity

At the center of events at The Tillerman Inn & Restaurant is the barn. This structure is over 125 years old and sits amongst trees, flowers, and various outbuildings for a rustic touch. During the summer months, the gardens will be filled with color and life. The swimming hole is perfect for a refreshing dip on particularly hot days. In the fall, surround yourself and your loved ones with autumnal charm thanks to the apple trees and sugar maples. Receptions can also be held in the shade of an elegant marquee, giving you the choice of splitting your time between indoors and out.

Services Offered

Bristol, the area surrounding this venue, is known for the warmth and hospitality of its people, and the inn is no exception. You'll be welcomed like family and instantly put at ease, so you can relax and focus on making memories. The wedding package from this property includes a range of features, like tables, a bar station, Adirondack chairs, and Sonos speakers in the barn. An arch was built for outdoor ceremonies and strung lights inside the barn will add some whimsical illumination.

Cuisine

The Tillerman Inn & Restaurant places an important focus on the food at every celebration. The catering team loves being able to support local farmers, makers, and cultivators through their fresh, seasonal dishes. Each meal is also planned with the environment and community in mind so that every bite can be as thoughtful as it is hearty. Cooking will be transformed into a sort of entertainment for your guests, as the venue's preferred style combines live-action cooking with self-service. Food will be artfully arranged and presented, reflecting all of the care that has gone into sourcing and preparing it.

hello, we are kate and jason, your hosts here at the tillerman. we have been dreaming up this place for much of our lives and after all these years it has finally taken shape, we can’t wait to show you around! we are somewhere in our 40s and have spent the last 20 years in northern california working in restaurants, sustainable agriculture, catering, and hospitality. during our time there we made countless trips to farmers markets, cooked and hosted events all over the bay area, washed plenty of dishes, obsessed over chicories and stone fruit, shucked 1,000's of oysters, popped and poured wine for the masses, collected beautiful bowls and read cookbooks like novels.

now we’re here in vermont, with our two boys, ready to do it all over again.

while not “working” you can often find jason tinkering with old parts or researching barrel saunas. kate will likely be frustrated with technology of some sort or catching up with an old friend.
