Tucker Hill Inn - tuckerhill.com

When you want everyone to be staying with you and you want the rule of the roost, you buy out a Hotel or an Inn that fits the bill. The Tucker Hill Inn can sleep 50 people and keep everyone safe and relaxed.

Phill and Alison have cultivated a beautiful part of Vermont into a lovely, cozy wedding spot for 50 to 120 of your closest friends and relatives. You are totally inside for 50 or add a tent to get to 120 revealers. The Wooden Spoon caters your every desire for food. As a wedding planner, having great food makes my job a lot easier.

The pool is lovely in the summer, and the clay tennis courts offer foot friendly exercise in the woods! There is a separate barroom and dining area, where you can dance the night away and not bother the neighbors.

Bed and Breakfast style of the Tucker Hill Inn allows you to take a deep breath and energize. There are many nearby Green Mountain hikes to take the calories off the wonderful breakfast. Or you can sit by the pool and chill.

Allergies are easy to deal with

“Especially tough to deal with an allergy if you are on a destination off site catering that is away from it all!“

Blue Sky Blog III 2.22.12

Food allergies are always present at large and small affairs. It should be a question that’s asked early on in the process. Plans can be made in advance to accommodate these people very easily. It’s the last minute scramble that occurs if the dietary concerns are not known until show time. Especially tough to deal with an allergy if you are on a destination off site catering that is away from it all! A Hotel may be able to deal more readily, but there is no guarantee!

The final menu selection or BEO should be signed off on by the client to be sure the items on the menus are correct. One wedding I was part of had roasted red potatoes as a starch for the beef, and the chicken and Salmon has rice pilaf. Turns out the bride was allergic to rice…….There is nothing like the imposing figure of the MOB with hers hands propped on her waist sides, asking the servers/managers in the back hall doorway “Who put rice on the menu!?” She had a big hair do as well. There was no way to change the starch at that time. Free wine was given to the party for the snafu, but by 10 pm the bride got so intoxicated that the mother sent her to her room……

Do I really need to assign seats at the tables?

Blue Sky Blog 2.8.5.12

For a plated or buffet wedding dinner, everyone should have a place at an assigned table. This allows every guest to have a home base, to place their purse, jacket or personal belongings for the entire evening. If you have to remove a table from a dance floor, make sure it is a table of younger members of the party.  A stationed food reception can be either totally casual with random seating, or assigned seating, as you like!

Some of the problems with not having assigned seating are resetting tables last minute to accommodate guests whims and not having enough seats for family members.  “Lets make a 14 top out of a 10 top so that all my friends can sit with us!”  Crunch! Or worse…..here comes a family of 4 at the beginning of dinner service. They would like to sit together. There are plenty of seats, but not 4 together…….Speaking to the banquet manager ”This is your !#&#! Fault (that we are late to the reception), and what are you going to do about it?” Roll another table out, set it and seat the family of 4 at it…….. very awkward position to be in…..She apologized later.

So plan where everyone is to sit. The tables will all be full, with no last minute moves to slow up the action! And only the bride and MOB, MOG knows if Uncle Bob can sit next to Aunt Judy and be civil! Or where is the best place to place them!
