From start to finish Christine and the Tourterelle staff was such a pleasure to work with. Even though 2020 threw numerous curve balls including a pandemic and a fire in the restaurant and inn portion of the venue, Christine continued to be friendly, gracious and extremely flexible with whatever choices my husband and I felt comfortable making for our wedding. She and the rest of the staff were so lovely and accommodating on the day of our scaled back wedding. I can't thank them enough for how special they made our day feel and would not hesitate to recommend them. Not to mention how beautiful the venue itself is!

Tourterelle was a great venue, and the event planner Whitney was wonderful! Everything was so easy, the food was amazing, the place looked absolutely beautiful! It was a perfect day and I’m so glad we picked Tourterelle for our wedding!

My husband and I got married at Tourterelle on 10.10.2020 in a beautiful small outdoor ceremony with our closest family. Tourterelle is an absolutely breathtakingly beautiful venue! Christine is fantastic to work with and she ensured that everything went smoothly. She did all of the day of coordination and communicated with me in the months leading up to the wedding to make sure we were on track. Even when my husband and I changed EVERYTHING about our wedding in response to COVID concerns, Christine was so calm and collected and helped me stay calm as well. We are blessed to be having our vow renewal ceremony and our bigger reception at Tourterelle again next year!! We can't wait to go back and to work with Christine again!

They were so kind and patient during the whole process. I changed my wedding date three times and they were extremely flexible and willing to work with me. The food was amazing and it was so nice not having to worry about chairs and tables! The outdoor area is gorgeous and perfect for wedding photos. Whitney is a great wedding planner and helps relieve stress by walking you step by step what needs to be done and sending out much needed reminders to help you stay on track!

Tourterelle was excellent to work with for my daughter's wedding. The food was wonderful, Christine and Whitney were wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience! They were very helpful and I was not worried about anything! The setting is lovely and perfect for photos.

We live in San Francisco and wanted to have a rustic wedding in VT that would be fun for our guests from all over the world to attend, but would still be reasonably priced. I initially didn't even look into Tourterelle because I thought it was so beautiful that it would be too expensive, but it turned out to be the same price as other less inspiring venues. I honestly felt like I won the lottery of wedding venues. It was incredibly easy to plan with Christine from remote and I never even saw the place until week of. Pictures don't really capture how beautiful this place is. Here's why Tourterelle is the BEST: 1. Incredibly beautiful, a place you would not be remiss to host guests flying in internationally 2. Christine is extremely professional, organized, flexible, so really easy to coordinate. I never felt worried about whether my day would be executed flawlessly and I was right! This peace of mind was so important because I was so overwhelmed with everything else. I didn't have a...

Especially the chicken and mushroom ravioli! 4. Fantastic value, so reasonably priced 5. For summer weddings, they have AC! I seriously love this place forever and can't wait to come back every time I visit Vermont. My wedding day was flawless and beautiful beyond expectations.

we didn't even consider any other venues-- we booked tourterelle based on it's situation between 2 mountain ranges and based on its FOOD. it has my favorite food in Vermont. its menu is so creative and elegant, but also so unpretentious and straight up yums. if you care about your guests enjoying themselves, food is critical-- they literally don't give a hoot about anything else, and tourterelle is destined to be delicious every time. it's slow, purposeful elements that make every meal so memorable. we were blessed with a really weatherly perfect day, but we were also blessed with a wonderful wedding coordinator, whitney. she comes with the venue, and she's an in real life angel. she's so sweet, patient, thoughtful, smart, and she cares about getting it exactly right for you. I gave her pretty minimal direction because i'm a clueless person in general, and I just trusted her, and im glad I did. she made it all happen; I just showed up. and that's exactly what I damn well ... Read morewanted. thank you, whitney! I have no regrets about our wedding day-- it was so fun, peaceful, and wild, and that was in large part due to the staff at tourterelle and the little mountain barn grotto they provide. thank you, my stars.

We loved our experience with Tourterelle. Whitney and Christine were so nice, helpful, and easy to communicate with. The venue is absolutely beautiful. All our guests raved about the food. One guest said they felt like they were at a wedding from a movie :) The view is breath taking. Even though you are close to rt 7, dont worry you cannot hear it at all! I actually ended up getting sick on our wedding night and Whitney and Christine were really helpful with making me feel comfortable. Highly recommended!

We could not have found a more perfect venue for our daughter's Vermont wedding than Tourterelle! Christine was wonderful to work with, beginning with our first meeting, throughout the months of planning, and on the day of the wedding. She was always gracious, responsive, and positive, and we could not have been more thrilled with every aspect of the wedding! As you can see from the photos below, Tourterelle is a magnificent spot - the ceremony by the pond, the outdoor area - perfect for cocktails and socializing after the ceremony, the beautiful barn, which provided a lovely setting for the reception, and the outdoor area adjacent to the barn (which we covered with a tent), which was perfect for dancing. The bonus: all of these spots come with lovely mountain views looking East and West!! Tourterelle is not just a perfect setting... Christine and her husband, Bill, who is the chef, own Tourterelle, and they made a point of working with us to make very aspect of the weddin... Read moreg perfect for us! The food was delicious, the bar was supplied with everything we requested, and the staff was friendly and attentive! We are so glad we chose Tourterelle, and we would highly recommend it for your Vermont wedding!

Tourterelle was the perfect location for our wedding reception on October 22, 2016. They'd recently renovated the event area and added gorgeous natural wood paneling and heat (our wedding was a chilly day!). It's a beautiful place with mountain views, a pond and a fire pit. Christine Snell, the event coordinator, is a rock star. She exceeded our expectations and was a DREAM to work with. And the food! We started with a Vermont cheese assortment, dates, nuts, crackers and fresh fruit. Then salad and a buffet featuring pepper crusted filet mignon with orange horseradish glaze, ginger orange grilled salmon and mango salsa, and a portabello napoleon with goat cheese and red pepper coulis -- with sides of grilled vegetables and rosemary roasted potatoes. Christine arranged for us to have a mini wedding cake for the cake-cutting, then we served mini creme brûlées for our guests. Christine was very helpful in helping us to meet our budget, and she was even willing to help with other details... Read more such as table linens and the reception schedule. Tourterelle hit it out of the park. Thanks for a wonderful reception!

The team from Tourterelle could not have been more of a pleasure to work with on our 2016 wedding! Whitney was our planner for this event, and she helped us so much at every step in the process—from hosting us for a wonderful tasting dinner on site to walking us through options for decor to suggesting local vendors. We had a few specific requests that they went above and beyond to accommodate, and let us have full creative control when it came to the flow of the event. Whitney was also our day-of coordinator, and again went so above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Not to mention that the food was excellent (get the VT cheese board!) and the view from the reception area was spectacular. I highly recommend Tourterelle if you’re looking for a venue in the Middlebury area!

Tourtelle and everyone there helped us have the best wedding ever! It was a one stop shop: all of the organizing for tables and food and the layout for the ceremony and reception was amazing. Super friendly and would answer all of our questions even if they seemed silly. Having them cater the food was incredible and worked very seamless with everything else. The grounds were beautiful and having the overnight rooms was a great place to get ready. Whenever we drive by Tourtelle or we see friends from the wedding, we always smile and will have wonderful memories forever. Thanks for making everything so perfect!

We had an absolutely excellent experience using Tourterelle for our wedding. The grounds were beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff was super helpful and responsive. Highly recommend.

We had our wedding at Tourterelle on June 18th, 2016 and it was fantastic! Christine was phenomenal when it came to our wedding day. Everything was organized and she took a huge stress off my shoulders the morning of by helping. I had a brunch wedding, so the ceremony started at 11 a.m. But Christine and the staff were right on top of things! Such a beautiful location, and even though it was hot that day, where it's located the breeze didn't make it seem like it.
