Meet the WOM Team

We are three close friends who enjoy gathering people together with food and wine. Our mutual love for Sewanee and its community motivated us to create a unique approach to hospitality on the Cumberland Plateau.

Word Of Mouth isn't just a catchy phrase - it's an acronym born from the founders' surnames: Williford, Oliver, and Miles. This wordplay captures both our team's identity and our mission to create note-worthy experiences. The name holds special significance for Megan, as it pays homage to a renowned Austin-based catering company where she not only worked but also forged lasting relationships with mentors who profoundly shaped her career.

    Cooking and entertaining have always brought me joy. WOM Provisions will let us help others relax and entertain during their short vacation time. Or those not on vacation!

    I love to hike with my two wonderful dogs, read, and bake in my free time along with spending time with friends and family.

    I've worn various career hats—from private chef and stage manager to caterer and event planner.

    Beyond the kitchen, I enjoy exploring new restaurants, sipping chilled white wine on my porch, diving into a good book, roller-skating, and being outdoors.
