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!)!
