Interlaken Inn Resort

Location - fantastic! It was so convenient having the ceremony, reception, and housing all in one location. The northwest hills of CT are also quite pretty and the ceremony site on the lake is perfect! For folks getting in a day early -- we had a great dinner at Willa Restaurant just over the border in NY and there is also a very cute coffee shop we enjoyed in Sharon, CT - JP Gifford Café! Catering - fantastic (and a variety of options for dietary considerations). There were so many compliments regarding the meal and the staff was great! We were extra impressed with how the meal was handed out - the staff did a very coordinated formation and placed all the meals for each guest at the table. Housing - The Inn was very cute and having the townhouses and other houses were perfect for accommodating everyone at the wedding. It was a bit disappointing that there was not a discounted rate for our room block -- we had a 120 person wedding and in turn required a number of rooms. We would have hoped for a slight discount on rooms during the time our room block was available. The block 'closed' six months out from the wedding which seemed a bit early, but Interlaken was willing to extend our room block roughly one month to at least hold the rooms. We did have some guests opt for offsite accommodations since the Inn was a bit expensive and there was not a discount on the room block. Ceremony - We loved the ceremony site and we actually had the typical setting for the chairs shifted so we could have a better view of the hills in the background which ended up working great. Only tip if you do this -- consider ordering your groomsmen from shortest (next to the groom) to tallest, since they may end up on a slight hill. We were a bit disappointed that the ceremony site was not private during the ceremony. We understand the other guests are enjoying the Inn, but we would hope that for the 30 minutes we had our ceremony Interlaken could have requested other Inn guests to not be at the ceremony site so there were not random strangers lingering. Cocktail Hour - We did photos during the cocktail hour, but we heard it was great! Loved the patio it was hosted on and very convenient for guests to head towards the reception after. Reception - Interlaken did a great job setting everything up! We provided some décor and supplies, and the team ran with it to make a beautiful set up! We would definitely recommend getting the vines on the tent since it really adds a bit extra! We did realize there was quite a bit of time between the salads and main meal which we would have ideally used to greet our guests so we weren't trying to do that once dancing and activities had already started. Just something to ask about so you have a clear understanding of timing during the reception! Afterparty - The afterparty set up is great! Having the game room is perfect and guests will definitely enjoy it. We would encourage making sure there is an extra announcement or communication about the afterparty, since with just our one announcement from the DJ we had many guest confused if and where the afterparty was. Composting - the Inn does not normally compost, but they were willing to work with us to collect food scraps and other organics which we took to McEnroe farm just 20 minutes away! This is a great venue - We would just encourage asking even the questions you think might be silly!

We had our wedding at Interlaken on 6/30/24. Our coordinator, Susan, and the whole staff at Interlaken went above and beyond to make our day amazing. Due to rain, we used the “rain plan” area for our ceremony, but it was so beautiful that it didn’t even feel like a back up plan! I want to give a shout out to Brittany who not only transported us around the grounds in the golf cart, but also helped me carry my (very long) train around while taking photos so it wouldn’t get wet or stained before the ceremony, threw my veil so our photographer could get awesome photos, and helped me adjust my necklace multiple times throughout the day when the clasp was showing. The food and service during our cocktail hour and reception were incredible. We also had guests comment in surprise that the bartenders were able to make every single drink they asked for! Guests told us that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! My husband and I have said multiple times that we hope someone we know gets married at Interlaken in the future so we can enjoy another wedding there!

We had the absolute best time at the Interlaken Inn for our wedding weekend. Vanessa was so attentive and helpful through every step of the wedding planning process into the actual weekend. They helped us make our vision come to life, all with the most amazing scenery. Our guests had the best time using the grounds, which was so important to us to make the weekend special for everyone. We will highly recommend the Interlaken Inn for any wedding couple looking to have a weekend full of festivities and love!

Excellent coordinators, beautiful grounds, incredible wedding for a moderate cost. No regrets whatsoever.

Having our winter wedding at the Interlaken Inn was one of the best experiences we could have asked for from our vendor. From the initial tour with Jodie, we just felt so welcomed and comforted and that they actually cared in ensuring our wedding day was exactly what we imagined. Vanessa was the best! She always kept in contact and would answer my texts no matter the time of day. She was so helpful in the whole process, especially the day of! She thought of all the little details I would have absolutely forgotten if I didn't have her. She is very organized, personable, and such a pleasure to have worked with. The rest of the staff was phenomenal and friendly as well! We just were reminiscing of the day with our parents and they could not stop speaking the praises of the whole staff, the bartenders, the maitre d, everyone we encountered was so polite and friendly and the day could have not as been as amazing without them! We keep hearing how great the weekend was! The food was also amazing! We had tried the brown butter ravioli at our tasting and my fiancé (now husband) and I couldn't wait for our wedding to have it again. It was delicious, along with everything else. The bridal suite was perfect for getting ready and such a luxurious room in general. Overall Interlaken Inn was awesome and I couldn't recommend it enough.

As mother- of- the- groom, I can only speak for myself and my husband.....we had a wonderful weekend! The weather was beautiful and the views by the lake were so peaceful. Though we were all anxious (of course!) and needed guidance, we needn't have worried as we were in the very capable hands of Susan and her wedding team. From beginning to end, she "steered" us in the right direction, always helpful and made us feel relaxed. We would like to also thank the staff for their kindness everyday we were there. This was a wonderful experience, and very happy that my son and new daughter-in-law decided to get married here. Thank-you so much!.....Sincerely, Gail & Vinnie Jamele

We could not have asked for a better experience! From the moment we inquired until the Sunday after our wedding, when we were saying goodbye, we were so well cared for, and I could not recommend this venue more! My partner and I stayed in one of the cottages on the site and the rest of our guests enjoyed the many different lodging options. We decided to do our rehearsal dinner offsite, but had a bonfire on Friday, ceremony and brunch on Sunday at the Inn, and we could not have been happier with the professionalism and planning of our big day! Vanessa was truly wonderful! We did have a few small issues with the rooms of some of our guests; confused room numbers, clogged bathroom, and incorrect dates. The team handled this professionally and got it fixed right away. At any moment when my partner and I picked up the phone to request some thing or needed help with planning we heard back within 30 seconds. The staff truly treat you like a queen when you are there and help you feel loved during the wedding weekend!

Interlaken Inn took our lead with creating our magical vision. We worked with Vanessa who sat with us for hours. She learned about our design, details and what mattered to us and helped to carry out our vision well beyond what we knew we wanted. From fresh squeezed juice, to moving flowers and displaying them in places to make us feel extra special, to helping us with design and layout. She was A+++. As for the venue, I don’t know a prettier backdrop for your ceremony. The infused water and beautiful touches from start to finish made us feel so special. The food, the drinks, the effort, the beauty every where we turned left us feeling blown away and grateful for the attention placed upon us. I can’t stop thinking about it and we’re four months married. Every detail and thought we had turned into our dream wedding reality. Thank you Vanessa and thank you to your wonderful team. You were all amazing!

If you’re looking for the perfect venue with an amazing staff look no further! Jodie, Vanessa, and Abby are a power team. They helped make our guests feel comfortable while also making our boho fall wedding dreams come true. The lakeside ceremony is absolutely perfect, and the tent has the potential to be anything you could possibly want. A special note for all the foodies! You can genuinely not go wrong. Every single items we ate all weekend was delicious!

We were so grateful to have our wedding here on October 22, 2022. The weather was perfect, a high of 68 and full sun! The Interlaken Inn is one of the most beautiful wedding venues we've ever been to. As soon as we stepped foot onto the property, we knew we wanted to get married there. The foliage is unbelievable during the fall months, especially in October. Having the ceremony on the lake was a nature couple's dream. Definitely include the golf cart as your transportation to and from the ceremony, that was a big hit, plus it makes for great couples photos. If you're lucky enough to have your rehearsal dinner at the property, take them up on the bonfire option. The bonfire is located across the street by the lake. We had smores and provided blankets from Amazon for our guests. So many people told us that it was a perfect way to start the wedding weekend. The food at the Interlaken is absolutely incredible. We chose the global buffet and it exceeded our expectations. I cannot even tell you how many positive comments we received just about the food alone. We were able to fit 180 people comfortably within the space with an easy transition into the after-party behind the barn doors. The after-party provided our guests with so many games and lots of space to relax on the couches and keep the party going. The venue is dog friendly, which is a huge plus! We had our dog in the wedding and she was also involved in the rehearsal dinner and reception. There are dog-friendly rooms to book, but the penthouse suite is not dog friendly, so if you do have a dog you will need to have your dog stay with someone else if you are booked in the penthouse. The penthouse suite is one of the best hotel rooms we have ever stayed in. The bathroom is massive with the best tub and walk-in shower. There is a fireplace in the bedroom/living area. There is also a large deck/porch that includes tables, chairs, a wooden swing, and a hot tub! My parents rented the Basha Cottage, which came in clutch for the bridal party. The bridesmaids were able to get ready there while the groomsmen got ready in the penthouse. The Basha Cottage comes with a full kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. There is also a hot tub on the side deck. We cannot thank the staff enough for all of their hard work, constant communication via emails, and for helping make our special day absolutely perfect. Susan is the wedding coordinator we had and she made our wedding magical. We highly recommend her!! Susan, Victoria, Jodie, and Michelle are an unbelievable bunch. Book your wedding at the Interlaken Inn, you will not be disappointed.

We were very lucky we stumbled upon this venue during our initial search. Our vision was for an outdoor wedding that had a beautiful backdrop along with a garden chic feel & a reception under a tent - Interlaken didn't just check all of these boxes, they blew this out of the water. From the moment we toured with Michelle, we knew this was the place we wanted to say "I do." It was a perfect wedding weekend - rehearsal dinner & bonfire Friday night, wedding on Saturday and a farewell brunch on Sunday. The best part? A majority of our guests were able to stay right onsite the entire weekend, allowing us to not have to worry about transportation, etc. The ceremony by the lake kicked things off with an absolutely jaw dropping view, followed by the most dreamy cocktail hour in the garden that led right to the reception under the tent. Every staff member that worked with us either leading up to it or the night of was incredibly kind and friendly. Specifically, Vanessa, our wedding coordinator at Interlaken, was extremely responsive and helpful during the entire process. I was able to text her the most random questions and she was quick to get back with an answer that immediately calmed my nerves. A month in and the rave reviews from our guests keep coming. Between the views, the lodging, the FOOD (so good!) and the overall experience, Interlaken was the perfect venue for us, as well as our closest friends and family (dog friendly, too!). And now, we have a place we can come back to every year to celebrate our anniversary!

This review is long overdue but my husband and I were just reminiscing about our wedding weekend and how incredible it truly was. We got married 10/9/2021 at the Interlaken Inn The Interlaken Inn is the perfect wedding venue if you are looking for something unique, beautiful, and all-inclusive. Most of our 160 guests stayed at the Inn from Friday-Sunday and it was complete magic. From the day we toured the venue in October 2019 and met the staff, we knew it was the place for us. I still remember this day like it was yesterday. Michelle toured us around the grounds, including the beautiful lakeside ceremony, the grounds for the cocktail hour, and the gorgeous draped tent. I had looked at other tented venues that I did not book. Nothing compared to the Interlaken Inn with the permanent bathrooms, gorgeous drapery, and the well-kept grounds. We originally booked our wedding for October 2020. When covid hit, it was such a stressful time. Michelle and the entire Interlaken staff were SO easy to work with and allowed us to move our wedding out a year with ease. I heard so many nightmare stories about venues during covid and I could not have been more grateful. For the actual wedding planning, we worked with Vanessa leading up to the event and she was a dream to work with. Every request was granted with ease and she was SO organized that I felt extremely comfortable that everything would run smoothly the weekend of our wedding, and it did! Starting off Friday night with the welcome BBQ (we had over 100 guests there). Everyone is still raving about the food and the bonfire afterwards. Saturday, our guests loved roaming around the grounds, exploring the town of Millerton, and much more. The night of our wedding was absolutely perfect. Vanessa made sure that every sign, decoration, and person was in the right place at the right time. She even made sure my change of shoes was waiting at my chair and that my heels made it back to my room before I did! The food was amazing and everyone danced the night away. We ended the weekend with a Sunday Brunch. While I was so sad that the weekend was over, I felt a sense of relief and calmness that Sunday knowing that everything was as perfect as I could have ever imagine. I could go on and on about how perfect our wedding weekend was, but just know that you will not be disappointed if you book your wedding at the Interlaken Inn. It is a small, non-corporate, family business and they truly want your wedding to be perfect for you.

Words can not fully describe how truly EPIC our wedding weekend was. It seems to be the only word we use to describe the weekend, as well as ALL of our guests. HUGE shout out to the entire Interlaken Wedding Team, but very special thanks to our amazing coordinator Susan. A little background on us… We had been together for years before getting engaged in 2017. We booked Interlaken Inn in 2019 as our wedding venue after considering many destination options including KEY WEST, Florida. We chose Interlaken for its all-inclusive feel in which we could use the grounds/accommodations for all sorts of events the entire weekend including rehearsal dinner, bonfire, after-party, and farewell breakfast. We also loved that all amenities were within walking distance of the hotel. We scheduled our wedding for August 2021, however soon anticipated early on in the pandemic that we would push our date out even farther. Interlaken was extremely accommodating with this request. Therefore, our new date was rescheduled to August 2022 (3 years after our original booking). I (the bride) was very detail oriented while planning our wedding. I wanted to create an epic (there’s that word again) party that no one would ever forget; dripping with flowers, laughter, and carefully curated moments. All these wants/needs were recreated by Susan and her team which ended up being more than I very specifically imagined. Interlaken in conjunction with our other vendors made our weekend quite honestly the best time of our and many other lives. Shout out to Country Gardeners Florist(Millerton, NY), Handyboys LLC.(Millerton, NY), Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream(Canton, CT), Esskay Four Photo Booth(Stratford, CT), Pastry Garden(Poughkeepsie, NY) and Conte Sound Productions(Smithfield, RI), and The Beauty Studio(Ludlow, MA). Please ensure you read my reviews on each of these vendors. I love them all. We stayed at the Basha Cottage which was absolutely perfect. It was a secluded enough space to accommodate our closest family and friends all weekend, who were always hanging out with us even during hair and makeup. At times, I swear we had 35+ people just hanging out around us at the cottage. If we needed anything at any time during our weekend, a staff member was happily available to walk over to the cottage to deliver it. The ceremony site by the lake was perfect and picturesque. Susan and Barb helped execute the ceremony wonderfully, including Barb transporting all guests down to the lake and holding my dress for me as I walked toward the aisle. The garden cocktail area was lovely and intimate. The reception was so much fun. Sam, Barb, and Susan took care of us and ensured we always had what we needed. And then there was the after party which was beyond EPIC (see, that word again). We had a surplus of props and an unbelievable AV set up by Handyboys LLC. The food was fantastic including the rehearsal dinner and farewell breakfast. The bartenders were amazing. Thank you SO much to the bartenders for keeping up with our party crowd. Our wedding was arguably the best wedding most of our guests have ever been to including ourselves. Truly epic, unique, tasteful, elegant, fun, and memorable. We cannot thank Interlaken Inn enough for their wonderful services and staff. We were a very high energy crowd and they kept up with us every step of the way and made us all feel extremely special and important. THANK YOU FOREVER. WE LOVE YOU. (Word count too low for too many wonderful words.)

Interlaken is the most stunning venue. Everyone says how things go wrong during a wedding and how you need to have realistic expectations etc. But honestly, we had the best weekend of our lives here and it far exceeded what we could've imagined! We are still getting compliments on our wedding. Sooo many people told us how much they loved the venue and how it was one of the best weddings they've attended. During Covid we completely changed what we were looking for in a venue and wanted a place where we could have all the events in one location, where we could be mostly outside, and where all our family and friends could mostly stay on location. And because of how long it had been since we'd seen so many family members we wanted a place where we could do a weekend event and really get a chance to catch up with everyone. Once we arrived at Interlaken we knew this is what we were looking for. The service was really outstanding from the day we visited the venue (providing us warm tea and cookies and showing us the photo albums of previous weddings) and continued even after the wedding. Everyone was warm and welcoming and wanted to make sure we felt like we were having the wedding of our dreams. Though everyone was great we worked closest with Vanessa and she is the best. She is so kind and friendly and I honestly don't know how she does it all. She gave us her personal cell number and never made us feel like any question was too dumb or minuscule to answer. She pays close attention to detail and really tried to get to know us as a couple so that we could customize the events, the menus, and the ceremony so it really felt like a reflection of us. The food, service, and grounds are really top notch and each event we had (rehearsal dinner, bonfire, ceremony, and reception) was so well executed. I can't say enough good things about this place or this team, it really is a gem and I hope to be back some day soon!

From our first tour to checking out after our post-wedding brunch, the Interlaken Inn could not possibly have been a more perfect place to celebrate our wedding. We were lucky enough to work with Vanessa, the world's most organized, patient, thoughtful, and thorough wedding coordinator. From the moment we booked, she guided us through every step, making sure we were on track with planning on our end, recommending the most brilliant team of vendors, and eventually, masterfully running our rehearsal dinner and bonfire, wedding ceremony and reception, and farewell brunch. Everybody on the Interlaken team is warm, accommodating, and truly at the top of their game. When a drizzle trickled in on our welcome barbeque, the staff quickly and expertly moved entire FULLY SET tables under the tent, without dropping a spoon or spilling a drink. Each element of our weekend was handled with the same level of grace and professionalism, from notes left for us from the staff in our suite, to guests' dietary needs being tended to without any fuss. Because of the brilliant team, I spent the morning of my wedding relaxed and excited- I knew we were in great hands, and all I had to do was get married and enjoy the ride. Multiple guests told us our wedding was among the best they've been to- and several extended their stays at the Interlaken to enjoy the gorgeous property and welcoming ambiance for a little while longer. My husband (!!) and I had the best weekend of our lives, and are so grateful to Vanessa, Barb, Winston, and the entire Interlaken team for truly making magic happen.

If I could give ten stars I would! I can't begin to express how wonderful and amazing the Interlaken Inn Resort Inn in. My daughter was married on July 16th. She and her now husband had a weekend event with activities starting on Friday night with our rehearsal dinner which was clambake. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. This was followed by a bonfire meet and greet on the lake. It was a wonderful way to kick off the weekend. The 4PM wedding on the lake, followed by the 5 PM cocktail party and the dinner and dance were all PERFECT. I can't thank Vanessa and Victoria for their details, timely responses and professionalism. They made you feel as if like personal friends. I enjoyed knowing both of them and the great thing about Interlaken is the personal touch. We explored many venues before settling on Interlaken and from the first visit - according to my daughter and son-in-law - the warm welcome made them know this was the right place. I can't praise Interlaken enough. It's a beautiful venue with outstanding food and management.

Thank you to the Interlaken for making my dream wedding come true! My wedding was postponed two times and I waited three years to have it! Susan was so helpful to make sure everything went off perfectly and able to add in all the extra details that I wanted. The food and the venue was excellent and would HIGHLY recommend having your wedding here. The staff was also amazing!

After 2 postponements due to COVID, we recently had our daughter's wedding at the Interlaken Inn and the Interlaken wedding team went above and beyond to help meet the bride's expectations. Every detail was absolutely perfect. We concluded the night with an after party in the game room and it was a great end to a wonderful evening. We used he Basha Cottage, a private cottage on property, to have the girls and moms get ready. The Cottage is a beautiful 2 bedroom cottage with a fireplace, kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Absolutely perfect for having hair and makeup done and have the girls spend the night before in. Thank you again to the Interlaken team again for everything you did to make the day special for Brittany and Kyle.

It was a dream come true for my husband and I to have our wedding at Interlaken! It was so, so fun having all the weekend’s events on the grounds and multiple guests commented how fun it was to park their car Friday and then just enjoy the whole weekend on-site. The beautiful tented pavilion is what grabbed my attention first when we were venue-shopping. I had always wanted an open-air wedding under a tent (and during Covid times it’s become all the more appealing), but many places we looked at with tent options made you rent your own tent and that just seemed like a big hassle and big expense. The fact that their gorgeous tent is already there was a huge selling point. The other dream was for a ceremony on the water, and Interlaken’s waterfront setting is beyond stunning. Our lakeside ceremony actually got rained out, as did the dinner and bonfire the night before – but the rain locations for each event worked beautifully and our coordinator Vanessa communicated with the florist and DJ to move the ceremony setup under the atrium where it was completely magical even minus the lake! The different types of accommodations are another big selling point of this venue. It was so cool that my parents could stay in the Sunnyside house and host a few of their friends for drinks and snacks on the porch Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, three of my college besties all shared a three-bedroom townhouse with a common area and hosted the after-after party, which let us feel like it was the good old days. Another element that really sticks out in my memory is how insanely lovely the penthouse suite was. It was the perfect area to host the bridal party for getting ready the day of the wedding. There was plenty of space for all and it was such a fun pre-wedding vibe. Ahead of the big day, our coordinator Vanessa guided us through every step of the planning process, from letting us know which vendors we should book first to when we needed to make our table seating charts. Overall, we just felt like we were in the hands of professionals throughout the planning process and during the weekend itself. Nobody had to stress about anything because we knew Vanessa and the rest of the staff at Interlaken was on top of it. Best of all, we now have a special vacation destination to return to for many years to come. Can’t wait to come back!

We had our wedding weekend at Interlaken Inn July 9th 2022. What a great venue ! The staff was exceptional. They were accommodating and are extremely detail oriented. My husband and I stayed in the Penthouse Suite for the weekend, which was amazing. It was a perfect space to get ready with my girls the morning of the wedding. My parents and grandparents stayed in the Basha cottage, which was absolutely adorable, it had a kitchen and a hot tub on the deck. Our wedding party stayed in the Sunnyside House. They have a huge wrap around deck and large backyard, where we all hung out the night before the wedding. Our rehearsal dinner was outside in the garden where we had a farm to table dinner. The atmosphere was stunning and the food was out of this world ! The ceremony on the lake was beautiful! Our wedding was perfection ! The staff went above and beyond our expectations ! 11/10 recommend for a wedding weekend you and your guests won’t forget !

My son and daughter in love chose Interlaken Inn! It is the perfect venue for a wedding. The entire weekend was absolutely wonderful!! We arrived early and Vanessa made reservations at a wonderful restaurant for those of us that were there. It was so delicious. As the guests began arriving everyone was enjoying their rooms, the beautiful grounds at the inn and the perfect weather. We had a bit of rain but it did not dampen anyone’s spirits. Friday night there was a barbecue for all guests at the Inn. It was so much fun! The staff was so accommodating and friendly. I would love to thank them all by name but do not want to miss anyone! Vanessa, the coordinator and a delight to work with- has a terrific team. She also recommended the florist and DJ. All were excellent. The flowers were over the top the entire weekend. After dinner we had a real sing along with s’mores, spiked coffee and hot chocolate. It was the beginning of a perfect weekend. Saturday, the girls gathered in the brides suite to get their hair and make up. It was so much fun to see them enjoying their time together. A light lunch was served- again with the wonderful staff from the Inn. Saturday night the wedding. It was a perfect affair in every way! The ceremony was touching as they said their own vows. On to the food- The passed appetizers and raw bar were delicious. The specialty drink of mai tais were a huge hit with many of the guests. The staff was seamless in every way. We had the filet and it was so tender you could cut it with a fork. Guests repeatedly said they enjoyed their meal. The DJ got EVERYONE up and dancing. It was such a perfect eveing. There was an after party in a great room that had ping pong, pool table, etc… the guests were served sliders, fries etc… we did not make it to that! We heard a good time was had by those that went. Sunday there was a private brunch. Again, the service and food was great! We will forever remember the amazing weekend at Interlaken Inn! Thank you Vanessa and your wonderful team!!!

We had an unbelievable experience at the Inn. Every single person on staff is a delight. Whatever they're paying Vanessa - they should double it. She made sure everything went perfectly, and coordinated with their recommended florist and DJ to make sure every aspect of the rehearsal dinner, bonfire, ceremony, reception and after party exceeded our expectations. Our guests had a wonderful time. Victoria, Winston, Samantha, and Sarah were all warm, friendly and accommodating. The entire process was a breeze from the day we first toured the venue. This was far and away the most memorable day of our lives. The staff at Interlaken is like a big family, and it felt like they were celebrating with ours.

We feel very lucky to have found Interlaken for our wedding. They had amazing packages that made it very easy to develop our entire weekend and our coordinator, Susan, did an amazing job interfacing with our vendors to run the weekend smoothly. We asked for a few slightly unorthodox things and they were all handled very well!

We were so lucky to have found The Interlaken Inn for our winter wedding! The team at the Interlaken were responsive and easy to communicate with. Susan was very knowledgeable and ensured our day was exactly as we imagined! When COVID started to impact our day, The Interlaken was beyond understanding and flexible - easing some of our worries. We had the most amazing wedding weekend, and highly recommend this venue!

Had an amazing wedding! Michelle did a great job giving us a tour and Susan was amazing once we chose our date. We wanted a wedding with a “full weekend” vibe for those traveling in and love that the Friday bonfire and Sunday breakfast really helped us achieve that dream. The ceremony on the lake was beautiful and everything ran super smoothly. Had enough people on the dance floor that some guests made their own second dance floor! Even in November the weather was great and it was everything we were hoping for.

Our wedding at the Interlaken Inn was everything we envisioned and more. From the initial tour we knew that the Inn had everything we were looking for... the ceremony site on the lake with the gorgeous backdrop, an outdoor tented reception, and rooms for all of our guests to stay and enjoy themselves for the weekend. Everyone on the team was always easily accessible and very accommodating when we postponed our original 2020 date due to COVID. They made the transition into our new 2021 date as seamless as possible. As the date drew closer we knew we could call, text, or email our planner Vanessa whenever one of our last minute questions came up. Our wedding weekend went as smoothly as possible and we never had to worry about details being missed. Our guests raved about how amazing the weekend was from the gorgeous views to the AMAZING food. Even our late night snacks for the after party were something to write home about. I cannot thank the staff at the Interlaken enough for their attention to detail and providing us with the wedding we had always dreamed of.

Absolutely amazing! The team at Interlaken Inn were wonderful to work with. They helped to make sure our day ran as smooth as possible taking care of everything during the entire weekend. They were very receptive to anything we needed/asked and were helpful from day one in making sure we had the day we dreamed off. The food is AMAZING- we received so many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the food. Beautiful grounds made for beautiful pictures. We couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else. We also plan to go back to celebrate anniversaries and weekend getaways. They’ve become family and I would recommend them to any couple who are in search of top notch wedding services.

The Interlaken brought our vision to life and made it SO easy to plan a wedding from hundreds of miles away. Vanessa checked in with us beforehand to make sure we were on schedule and always reminding us of what was coming next and how to be sure we were staying on time with different milestones. Our tasting was fabulous and the food was one of the many highlights of the wedding. With an open bar (liquor included) our guests could enjoy a wide variety of cocktails including our specialty cocktail at no additional cost to them (some venues only have beer/wine open bar or have a very limited liquor offering for their open bar). The lake was magical - there are so many places for photos, and plenty of great photographers that know the venue. Likewise with florists - I highly recommend working with vendors on the recommended list, though you are not limited to them! The ceremony area is a short walk from the Inn but a golf cart is also available for guests with mobility issues as well as the bridal party! Barb was my driver and she was FANTASTIC. We will always remember Barb as part of our day and hope to make a trip back to thank her for everything she did for us. Every space we used was beautiful and we felt like royalty on campus - the staff knew who we were by face and name and made sure we wanted for nothing. Our guests enjoyed the many offerings on the campus before and after the wedding and we were so happy that everyone who came had the chance to have their own get-away. Many of our guests changed profile photos on social media to photos from our wedding because the spaces were so beautiful. I keep bobbing around to different topics, and hopefully this review doesn't seem disorganized but this is in part because the Interlaken made every part of our day exactly what we were hoping for and there are so many features and topics that I could go on and on about that I'm not sure where to start and stop. Although we went to see other venues after our first visit at the Interlaken, I think it's safe to say that had us at the personal touches they included at our very first visit to see the venue and the most delicious oven-warmed cookies and Harney tea they served as we took a moment to look through their paperwork while we were on the premises. Having attended and been a part of weddings at other, similar venues, if I could go back, I would go back to the Interlaken for our day every time.

Interlaken Inn was the most perfect wedding venue! We worked with Vanessa and she was so helpful, answered all of our many questions, and was so fun, kind and easy to work with. We started the weekend with a beautiful rehearsal and dinner, followed by a fun bonfire. The next day we were able to enjoy the grounds and have fun getting ready for the beautiful lakefront ceremony. We then headed to a gorgeous cocktail hour and then under the beautiful reception tent. We had a great after party and then wrapped the weekend up with a farewell brunch. We would highly recommend this venue!!

Our wedding at the Interlaken Inn in June 2021 was absolutely unforgettable, and we are so grateful to the incredible team at the Inn that made such a perfect experience possible. Our coordinator Vanessa is so kind and thoughtful, and went above and beyond to ensure that our dream wedding became a reality. Her patience, organization, and attention to detail was a lifesaver time and time again throughout the planning process, and she was always just an email, text, or phone call away. From coordinating vendors the day of, to handling last minute changes, and setting up all of our ceremony and reception details, she truly did it all. We cannot say enough kind words about her and know that without her efforts, none of this would have been possible! In terms of the venue itself, we knew the moment we set foot on the property back in the fall of 2019 that we had found our dream location. The grounds are beautifully maintained, with a gorgeous garden beside an airy and welcoming reception tent. We knew that we wanted a venue where all guests could stay on site without the hassle of transportation, and the Inn offers the perfect set up with a variety of room set ups across the property. Our entire bridal party was able to stay in the Sunnyside House, a beautifully preserved Victorian bed and breakfast, and the original Inn building. We stayed in the newly renovated penthouse suite, complete with a rooftop terrace and hot tub. The penthouse is spacious and has beautiful natural lighting, which makes it perfect for getting ready on site the day of the wedding. The lakeside ceremony area adds spectacular views of the area surrounding the Inn, and the peace and relaxation that can be found in Litchfield County is second to none. We took full advantage of the lakeside area, from canoe excursions and swimming to a rehearsal dinner and welcome bonfire on the shore of Lake Wononscopomuc. The Interlaken Inn’s location is so perfect, with proximity to the Berkshires, breathtaking views on Appalachian trails, and of course the charm of towns like Kent, Millerton, and so many more only a short drive away. We truly cannot say enough kind words about the Interlaken Inn and the amazing group of people who work there- we are so lucky to have had their support to make our big day possible!

I am not normally the person to write reviews, but I had to about the Interlakenn Inn and the wedding team. My husband and I had our wedding there on June 27, 2021. It was the most amazing experience and I am not exaggerating when I say it ran perfectly because of Susan and her team. Susan first of all is the sweetest woman and will make you feel so comfortable and alleviate the stress that comes with planning a wedding. There is so much that comes with choosing this venue such as beautiful rooms, beautiful pool, bonfire, and a farewell breakfast. My bridal party and I stayed in the wood side suite which came with a hot tub and enough room for 8 of us. The day of our wedding Susan herself was coming to our room to check on us, deliver waters and snacks, and generally just help us out. I strongly recommend getting married at this venue. We can’t say enough good things about the venue itself and the wedding team specifically Susan. Brei & Jeff Marshall

My daughter's wedding was at the Interlaken in 10/10/2020. It was not just a wedding, it was an experience. It was an amazing weekend starting with the rehearsal, through a welcome bonfire, to the ceremony on the gorgeous lake, the cocktail hour in the amazing garden to the tented reception. Planning all of this through a pandemic when we weren't sure it could happen - but it did. The amazing staff was flexible, creative and helpful as we were all so on edge trying to understand how to pull off the wedding. The venue, the food, the whole experience was something we will carry with us forever. Our guests can't stop talking about it. Susan, our planner, Michele our sales person, the Interlaken FAMILY.....thank you all for an amazing experience.

Susan and her team were exceptional in orchestrating the most magical day of our lives! Everything was seamless - from the venue itself, an unpretentious and intimate ‘sleep-away-camp’ with all of the creature comforts to the incredible foliage of New England backdrop - lakeside ceremony, the food! Service, attention to detail. Everything was perfect, can’t thank you enough!!!

Our son and daughter-in-law's wedding was a joyful, incredible experience at the Interlaken Inn. The staff went out of their way to make the event exactly as we dreamed it would be. Susan was exceptional in creating the perfect day, filled with memories for us all. With the beautiful foliage as a backdrop, the ceremony took place lakeside...and it was magical!

We just got married at the Interlaken on 10.18.2020 and it was incredible. We had a small intimate wedding at the lake followed by a dinner reception. Jodie and the team at Interlaken were amazing! I couldn’t have imagined it any other way! We stayed at the Basha cottage and it was beautiful! Highly recommend the Interlaken Inn for any wedding or event! We are already planning to head back next year for our anniversary!

We recently had our wedding at the Interlaken Inn and it was wonderful. The property is absolutely gorgeous and the tent that the venue provides for outdoor weddings is so elegant that you don’t even need to add much decor! The food is also amazing - all of our guests were very pleased! Susan, the coordinator was also great, always answering my many emails and did a nice job setting up decor. Would definitely recommend this venue!

We had our wedding at the Interlaken Inn during Labor Day weekend and it was the most beautiful weekend and wedding day. From first touring the venue to packing up the day after the wedding, the staff paid such great attention to detail, were all so amazing and beyond helpful! We had booked with them for our wedding before everything happened and became so uncertain because of COVID-19 and throughout the whole year, they were so flexible and assured us that everything would work out. We could not have asked for a better wedding day and venue especially after being so scared we might not get to have the wedding at all!! A big shout out to Susan, she is the sweetest most helpful person and was great at communicating with this anxious bride to be. We ended up having about 80 guests and got tons of compliments from that the food was amazing and full of melt in your mouth flavors. Overall, I could go on forever about how great venue and the staff are! If you are looking for an outdoor wedding, definitely look here!

With all the craziness this year has brought, Interlaken was confident, flexible, and reliable through every step of the way. Having everything in one location made for a weekend of fun. Guests continue to tell us how great the food was, how relaxing the atmosphere was, and have fun all of the activities were. We BBQed, enjoyed a bonfire and s'mores, swam and kayaked in the crystal clear lake, AND had an amazing wedding. They were so patient with us through the uncertainties this year has brought and accommodating to all of our requests. Everyone felt safe as the venue went above and beyond; allowing everyone to have a great time. I can not recommend this venue enough! Victoria was a saint throughout the process. She made sure my vision came to life and helped the day flow without any stress. We are already planning to come back as a family to enjoy the property and reminisce on the magical weekend we had celebrating our wedding!

Thank you everyone at Interlaken for making our day happen! Susan, Victoria, Mary, Chef Daire, Dareen, Winston (and everyone who's name we cannot remember, sorry, there were so many individuals who helped us make our event magical!) The setting was picturesque, the atmosphere was elegant, and the food was SO GOOD! The bonfire at the lake and the swimming were exceptional. We look forward to continuing our relationship and recommending you to all our friends.

We had the most spectacular wedding! Tori and Michelle were so helpful throughout the whole planning process. The place looked beautiful and the food was delicious! Our guests are still talking about our day!!

My husband and I got married at Interlaken this past spring, and it was a truly amazing experience. At our initial meeting, we were greeted by Michelle, who is one of the nicest people you’ll meet. She had so much information prepared for us, and the staff even brought over homemade lemon bars and coffee. After taking the tour and seeing the lake front, we knew it was our venue. A couple specifics: #1: Chef Daire and her team are AMAZING! The food was delicious during our tasting, but it can’t be easy to cook for 100+ people at once, and we were worried about how the quality would be with some of our entrees, especially the tuna steak cooked rare. Looking back, what a waste of worry that was! Our guests raved about the food- how perfectly things were cooked, how beautifully they were presented, and how great everything tasted. Chef Daire and the food quality is easily Interlaken’s strongest asset. #2: Their second biggest asset is their venue itself. We wanted that indoor/outdoor option, and we were also looking for something that had some level of temperature control. We had been to weddings that were tented, but on hot, still summer days, the heat was brutal. So we wanted a little more flexibility and control with that, and Interlaken’s tented reception area was perfect. It’s temperature controlled, and the sides can be adjusted. Since our wedding was in the spring when weather can be unpredictable, this was a huge plus. Our ceremony was by the lake, and you can’t beat that setting. It’s so peaceful and beautiful! #3: The staff are great. I can’t say enough about Michelle; she is so sweet and thoughtful. She remembered that I liked the lemon bars during our initial meeting, and surprised me with them in the bridal suite on our wedding day. Tori is also so nice to work with; organized and always prompt with responses. Both Michelle and Tori were so helpful; I felt like any idea I had, they were willing to work with and they made a number of accommodations for us. There are so many venues out there, and with a lot of the ones we looked at, it felt like just another business transaction for them. Michelle, Tori and the team were so much more personal; it felt like we were planning with people we knew, rather that just a vendor. And with the stress of wedding planning, that can really make a difference. An easy 5 stars for Interlaken!

Our wedding day at the Interlaken Inn was absolutely perfect! The venue is so beautiful and they don’t skip a beat with the details. The food was the best I’ve ever had at a wedding venue. It is also a great hotel where guests can stay the whole weekend without having to worry about transportation. Our guests have told us it was some of the most fun they’ve ever had at a wedding!

I feel like a broken record but our wedding day was one of the best days of my life!!! I have gotten the chance to talk to many of our guests about the amazing time they had. They had so many wonderful things to say I am sorry that I can’t share them all. The first and biggest comment I heard from many of our guests was how happy they were with the service. As someone who works in the industry and facilitates weddings, good service was a huge priority for me. They were attentive to the needs of all of our guests from the transportation to the ceremony, the service at cocktail hour and ensuring that all guests were getting passed apps, to making sure dinner service went smoothly and everyone was taken care of as far as dietary restrictions. We unfortunately had an emergency take place at our cocktail hour and we were so thankful for the quick response of the staff and the professional way they took care of the situation. I was especially grateful for their flexibility on planning and working with us on all of the special requests we had. We had a very specific vision of how we wanted our day to go and they helped make our vision a reality. To the whole team at the Interlaken Inn we can’t ever thank you enough for all of the work you did to make our day amazing!

My son and now daughter-in-law (YEAH!!!) recently celebrated their wedding at the Inn. My husband and I hadn’t been to a wedding in long time so we were a bit nervous since we had to be part of the ceremony. Yikes! Thankfully, everything was perfect. We truly enjoyed ourselves and wish we could live it over again! We stayed at the Sunnyside House in the King Suite for two nights. The rooms were very nice and accommodated the three of us quite nicely. From the rehearsal, to the wedding prep, the actual ceremony, the cocktail hour and the reception, Interlaken Inn did an outstanding job. I love gardening and was amazed at the landscaping at the Inn. Truly, the landscapers must be at task 24x7! My favorite person was the lovely woman that drove the golf cart. (Sorry I don’t recall your name.) She escorted us down to the lake for the ceremony and back to inn. Over and over and over and always a smile and a nice comment. It would be nice to visit the Inn in the future without an agenda to enjoy the lake, fishing, and hiking.

Beautiful location and great food!

I feel so lucky that my friends picked the Interlaken Inn for their wedding. The ceremony site, hotel grounds, and reception space were beautiful, the staff was outstanding, and the food was excellent. As a bridesmaid, my only complaint that I didn't have time to experience all of the resort amenities that the Inn had to offer until after my duties were over!

What can I possibly say about the Interlaken Inn that hasn't already been said? There is not much, but I can certainly add my stamp of approval to the ever glowing list of reviews. Like many, we knew the Interlaken was OUR place immediately. We hadn't done a ton of searching, maybe half a dozen locations or so, but we have been to 50+ weddings as a couple and work in the industry, so we knew we were looking for something unique, and we found it. The following are just a few thoughts on what I thought made our special day perfection at the Interlaken Inn... #1 The People First off, the staff are INCREDIBLE. Maybe one of the nicest collections of folks I have ever been around. Many have worked at the Inn for years, and their passion for the property is very evident. If you are asking me, this is the #1 most important thing to a successful wedding day... having a group of people who care deeply for your success. #2 Location, Location, Location I don't need to tout the location... just look at the pictures on their website. The grounds are just as beautiful as the photos. Everything is meticulously maintained. We loved the tranquility and peacefulness of the area. #3 The Food A quality dinner was one of the most important things to us when picking a vendor/place. We relied on other reviews, just like this one, where we found overwhelming praise for Chef Daire and team. I was cautiously optimistic knowing how hard it is to cook for 150+ people and maintain a quality product. All I can say is, wow, did they deliver... Of course we are biased, but I truly believe our wedding had some of the best food we have ever encountered. We worked with Chef Daire to tweak a custom menu, and were beyond thrilled with the results on our wedding day. I am still in awe of the job they did. #4 The Weather We were incredibly blessed with what I would call the best weekend weather of the entire year. I know you cannot shop for the weather, but I will say that I had the confidence in the team that our day would have been amazing no matter what kind of weather we were facing... (see #1 above). The Bad (?) Well, I couldn't call this a full review if I didn't also provide the downsides, as I saw them.... Weddings are generally expensive, overall, and the Interlaken is not cheap, both for the wedding and for the guest rooms. The minimum night stay in-season was not ideal, but we made it work for our group by making it mini-destination weekend. I will say, the Interlaken Inn delivered great value for the price, they have tiered packages to accommodate everyone, and worked with us to find a package that fit our desires and budget. The Conclusion Book your wedding there now!! You will not regret it. I am so happy we chose the Interlaken for one of the best days of our lives. I am also so happy, in retrospect, to choose a location that I cannot wait to go visit again to celebrate anniversaries for the rest of our lives. The Interlaken made us feel like a part of their family, and we are so grateful.

I am not even sure where to start on this review but here goes… We knew the Interlaken Inn was something special from the moment we first visited. We knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony and a tent vibe but didn’t have the time/budget to do a build-your-own wedding on a farm or something like that and the Interlaken offered everything we wanted “under one roof” and at a very reasonable price. Michelle was lovely as she showed us around the beautiful property, explained all the different options to customize our special weekend and we imaged ourselves getting married there and we were sold. It didn’t stop there though, Victoria – the wedding planner, is the most patient and helpful person ever and is the reason we had such an unforgettable weekend. She was accommodating on all the little details we wanted for our weekend and worked with us to make sure we were happy with the way everything was coming together. I think I sent her 1000 emails over the course of the year and she always answered with helpful and creative ideas. We hosted a full weekend at the Interlaken for 120 guests (Welcome Dinner, Bonfire, Ceremony, Reception, After Party and Farewell Brunch) and they all went off flawlessly. Even as the rain started to fall before the ceremony – Victoria stalled and waited for the skies to clear for me to walk down the aisle just as I had dreamed of in front of the most picturesque lake - it truly was perfect. I could write a whole other review for the food – IT WAS ALL AMAZING. Every single guest has commented to us how creative, delicious, and perfectly executed the food was all weekend. As the daughter of a Chef – food and hospitality has always been close to my heart and we really found a special Chef in Chef Darie. We customized a lot- and Victoria and Darie were so accommodating throughout the whole process. Darie and her team really did come through with THE BEST FOOD!! Our build-your-own poke bowls and NY Jewish Deli cocktail hour stations were such a hit – some people even thought they were the main courses… but then there were the melt -in-your mouth entrees – the steak, salmon and butternut squash ravioli all crushed it and then fried chicken sliders with curly fries at the after party sealed the night off perfectly. I am also proud to we got some of everything and that we actually got to eat at our wedding - because we knew it was going to that good! The guest rooms were well appointed and any issues that our guests faced were dealt with smoothly by the hotel staff. Many guests have said they would return there if they were in the area again and we know we’ll be back too. We stayed in Basha Cottage (and I used this as my Bridal Suite too – which I would highly recommend to future Brides – so much space for hanging out/getting ready with hair & makeup and a full kitchen). The cottage is so nicely updated and after the wedding we spent an extra day to relax and it was a great little getaway cottage. Choosing the Interlaken was easy for us - I grew up spending my summers nearby and we also had a lot of family coming from out of town, we knew we wanted somewhere that would showcase our love the area, have an outdoor element and give us a whole weekend to spend with family – but I don’t think either of us knew that it would really turn out to be such a phenomenal venue. THANK YOU to the whole Interlaken Inn staff for making our wedding weekend truly unforgettable! - Andrew & Elana

Our wedding at Interlaken Inn exceeded expectations ten fold. We had a summer wedding in June 2019. We opted for the weekend package for 130 guests, complete with a Friday night barbecue and campfire by sunset, a Saturday ceremony by the lake followed by a tented reception, and a final goodbye breakfast on Sunday. The whole weekend went so smooth from start to finish. We were truly able to be present with our guests and enjoy every moment to its fullest without worrying about logistics. That's because the folks at Interlaken Inn are a first class team. They are a family owned and run business and truly care about creating a wonderful atmosphere for their clients. This care was manifested in the seamless experience we felt not only on our wedding day but also during the planning that lead up to the event. During our first visit to the venue a year prior, we knew immediately that Interlaken would be the place we would get married. I must say as an lgbt couple, venue shopping can be a bit stressful, as you never know if you will be met with judgment or ignorance from the venues you encounter. Interlaken was truly a safe space. Michelle the owner welcomed us graciously and talked through our options while we ate some tasty treats made by their awesome new chef! After visiting 5 venues, it was clear from comparisons that you get your monies worth. The packages are reasonable given what's included and the quality of the food and service! Veronica, the wedding planner, was great to work with. She is super experienced, informative, and a great coordinator. She was also very laid back and receptive to our vision. She never pushed us into anything we didn't want. We also cannot say enough good things about Chef Daire and her team! She was a major selling point for us. She crafted a menu for the weekend that was tailored to our specifications while adding her own flair and insight. The food was perfection and so much care went into its presentation. Daire came out a few times during the wedding to say hello and check on how we were doing. Something that was very much appreciated. Our friends and family raved saying it was one of the best weddings they'd been to and that they felt truly taken care of as guests. The rooms were clean and comfortable. There was something for everyone to fill the time with on the off hours, whether it was taking a swim in the lake or pool, hiking one of the nearby trails, having a cocktail or lunch at the bar/restaurant, playing tennis, or going into the nearby towns. With 130 guests of different age ranges, everyone was able to make it their own. For us, we experienced a truly magical weekend. The wedding suite where we stayed for the weekend was included in our package and was beautiful haven for us to get ready and rest between events. The grounds were amazing, filled with natural decor of flowers and scenery, we hardly needed to decorate apart from some signs and our table flowers. The lake was an unforgettable backdrop for our ceremony. The venue hall was just the right size to feel intimate but also accommodate some serious dancing! All in all the our wedding was everything we wanted. We will always look back on that weekend with the utmost fondest memories.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Having our wedding at the interlaken was the best decision we could have made. Not only because of how perfect the venue is, but the way that they made the entire process go so smoothly. I worked closely with Victoria and I cannot express how amazing she was. She answered my ten thousand questions (always very quickly), she gave great suggestions, and she was flexible with any little details I wanted to make our day perfect. I seriously would not have survived without her. We had a whole wedding weekend at the inn. We did our rehersal and welcome dinner the night before with a bonfire and hired a local food truck. Everyone absolutely loved it. The day of was amazing. I did not have to worry at all about setting anything up. The staff did everything for me, exactly how I had explained it to them. Victoria helped get in touch with vendors for me and show them where to go, so I could just relax and get ready for the day. The cocktail hour food, dinner, and dessert were all INCREDIBLE. Food was truly delicious. Many people have raved about it to me. The ceremony location was stunning and the reception tent was absolutely perfect. The game room and lounge area connected to the tent were perfect for people who wanted to have some fun away from the DJ. We had a farewell breakfast the next day which was also perfect and the food was delicious. Everyone at my wedding told me it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended and it wouldn't have happened without the beautiful interlaken inn and their staff. I seriously cannot say enough amazing things about this venue. It is worth the drive (if you are far like we were) and we were able to make it a "mini-destination" wedding for our guests.

We knew right away that Interlaken Inn had to be the place we got married and it was everything we wanted. The staff there is beyond helpful, sweet, and welcoming, especially Michelle and Victoria. We were happy that all of our friends and family could stay on site as well as our dog, who was in our wedding. Also, the food was outstanding the whole weekend; lunch, rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, reception, and brunch. We had the BBQ rehearsal dinner and all of our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was there, we agreed! We loved all of our passed appetizers and our dinner at the wedding was flavorful and delicious. Our wedding coordinator, Victoria, truly helped our wedding vision come alive as we handed off our decorations to her and she set everything up the morning of our wedding so we didn't have to worry about it. This place is honestly the total package! We welcomed all of our guests with a bonfire on Friday by the lake, which was the perfect way to see lots of people before the big day. Additionally, the penthouse that's included is AMAZING. My whole bridal party got ready there and was a great place to come back to with my husband on our wedding night. If you want to have a whole weekend with your guests at a beautiful, outdoorsy, and classy dog friendly venue then Interlaken Inn is for you!
