Private Dining, The Big Spruce Way
At the center of every gathering is the food.

The Parlour Room gives your guests an opportunity to enjoy that experience in a more intimate setting, with attentive service and plenty of time to settle in, share a meal, and enjoy each other’s company.

Your Own Corner of The Big Spruce
The Parlour Room offers more than four walls and a table. Your group can settle into a space designed to feel warm, comfortable, and distinctly Vermont.
Depending on your event, the space offers access to amenities including a private porch and outdoor fire pit, along with a dedicated entertainment system and attentive service for your gathering.
It’s intimate enough for meaningful conversation, flexible enough for a variety of occasions, and connected to the lively, welcoming atmosphere that makes The Big Spruce The Big Spruce.
Intimate. Relaxed. Entirely Yours.
No banquet-hall atmosphere. No overly formal event experience.
