Interlaken Inn Resort

d. 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!

ny 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!

ty, 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.

oxes, 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!

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.

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.)

! 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!

houghtful, 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.

t 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.

that I wanted. The food and the venue was excellent and would HIGHLY recommend having your wedding here. The staff was also amazing!

he 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.

e 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!

zing. 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 !

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!!!

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 asked for a few slightly unorthodox things and they were all handled very well!

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!

elped 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.

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.

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.

re 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.

owed 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!!

ve 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!

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

our 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.
