March 1st - 5 months and counting...

Kate here.
I want to make sure that everyone knows that the room block being held at Interlaken Inn will be released today.  You can still call and make a reservation, the prices are the same (I hope) the only difference is that rooms are not specifically being held for our wedding guests meaning the general public may now book those rooms. 
With all of the events going on in Lakeville and the surrounding area the July 24th weekend I want to reitterate how quickly rooms are booking up in the general vacinity.  It makes me sad and nervous to be hoenst.  Origianlly the wedding was to be July 17 th as some of you know, alas the Inn made a mistake and double booked for that weekend. 
I thought I was being gracious, etc. and played it as no big deal and happily agreed to the weekend of July 24th not having any clue that there are so many area events that weekend:

Lime Rock Race Track   

parents weekend for several summer
camps in the area

a weekend bike event




Due to these major events some Inns and motels are raising the minimum stay to three nights, others have increaed their prices and almost every place on the back of the Save-The-Date has no vacancy.  

Interlaken has vacancy as of right now (and it is rather pricey so I understand about finding other reasonable places to stay) but they have a 2 night minimum that I was hoping they would waive for us due to the double booking moment.  Not a chance though.  I tried. 

Not to mention everyone has vacancy the weekend of July 17th... sigh. 

Have faith though!
Jane at the Quality Inn still has rooms that are being blocked off for the wedding.  We have not yet chosen a date to release them so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
