Finally Heard from the Inn!

After a week of waiting, and checking my e-mail literally every 15 minutes since last Thursday, I got the proposal from the inn in Connecticut yesterday! FINALLY!!! You all know how nuts I was going. I really love the place, and ever since we saw it a month ago, it was the only place FH and I can see ourselves at, but we weren't sure if we could afford it. Well...

It's $10 per person LESS than we thought it would be!! $129 pp (before tax & tip), but that's for a 5 hour reception, with all 5 hours open bar, a butlered cocktail hour, dinner buffet with salad, appetizer, and 3 main courses. Plus, butler-passed cold drinks for my guests as they wait outside for the ceremony to start, champagne toast, and use of the whole inn (2 living rooms, a pub, front porch and back deck / backyard) for 3 days, just for our party. And for opening the pub for us for the afterparty, and bartending there until 4 in the morning, if that's what we want. We're only expecting about 70 people, so $129 is totally within our budget. YAY!!!! I was so scared that the innkeeper would raise his price on us for 2008, but instead, he gave us a better deal than for 2006 (maybe because we're booking so far ahead?).

Anyway, this pretty much seals the deal - this is it! We're gonna book!

I wish it included their rooms. the rooms are still $140 - $250 per night, with a 2 night minimum for half the rooms (there are 2 diff. buildings). That's the sticking point for me - the only thing that's making me think twice. I hate asking friends and family to shell out $500 bucks to come to my wedding, but the way i see it, it's actually $500 to go on a cool weekend-long vacation with tons to do (kayaking, hiking, fishing, golfing, biking, swimming in a lake, plus of course my super-cool wedding, rehearsal dinner, and brunch). So I THINK i'm not a terrible or selfish person... right???

Congratulations!!

The place looks beautiful and the price seems really good for everything you are getting!

And you are not being selfish at all...people get a weekend away and if for any reason they do not want to shell out that type of money they can look for a hotel in the area that offers a 1-night stay.
