WEDDING PLANNING AND BOUTIQUE DECOR RENTALS
Tara Staley, owner, founder and lead planner of Clover Hill Events.
Tara has been planning weddings and events for 7 years. She finds weddings completely magical, from the creativity they allow to the surprise of the unknown even though every minute is planned. Whether a wedding is a day that has been thought about since childhood or planning began right after the engagement, weddings are a fun representation of each couple . Tara loves to show her passion through design and a serious focus on allowing clients to be fully present in the moment on their big day. To Tara it is a complete honor to help each of her clients on their event planning journey and help represent their love and style in unique ways.
As a planner, her goal is to alleviate planning stress and possible frustration that can occur during the planning process. Her hope is to create an environment in which you can laugh, enjoy and feel inspired. And her mission is to make every wedding and event a true reflection of the couple.

In her spare time (what's that!) she loves being outside whether it is hiking, gardening or just laying in the grass. She also enjoys a glass of wine, ok multiple glasses of wine, trying out new restaurants and or pizza and chillin on the couch!

Jordan Hoffman Head Coordinator
Picture this, Vermont in February, a huge snowstorm hits the night before your wedding, 4 feet of fresh snow has fallen. Guests stuck at the airport, some stuck in their driveways or went off the road, talk about stress! Well, this story was Jordans parents wedding story and a story that reminds Jordan everyday how important proper planning and back up plans are! LOL! Jordan born and raised in Vermont never planned to be a wedding coordinator but fell into it and has loved it ever since. Her planning experiences started while a college intern and has experience back of house in catering. A college Rugby player where her position was actually called a “Hooker”, yes, I’m serious, taught her what teamwork is all about, that working towards a common goal, in partnership will always be better than working alone. Jordan is such a gentle soul and a true calming force to all her clients. She has over 10 years of wedding experience and loves the thrill of a wedding and thrives on problem solving and making game time decisions.
When she isn’t taken care of her sweet little two-year-old daughter or her 3 dogs, she is in the kitchen cooking big ol’ Italian family style meals! With her passion for events and dedication to creating beautiful weddings with a focus on attention to details, Jordan is a huge asset to the Clover Hill Team and we love watching her shine!
