Interlaken Inn Resort

ith 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.

ly 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!

stress free on our wedding weekend. Our guests heavily complimented the food and the space its self. We are extremely happy we chose to start our new journey together at Interlaken and will cherish those memories forever.

rlaken Inn. The property is beautiful and offers a variety of spaces to enjoy both organized events and down time. But the “secret sauce” of Interlaken is clearly the staff. From the moment we walked in the lobby a year earlier to check it out to the moment we pulled out of the parking lot as a married couple, every single person seemed to be doing everything they could to make our wedding perfect. Victoria was the maestro orchestrating everything for us, but every person was so nice and responsive and professional. And when the weather added some challenges to the actual wedding day, they remained flexible and ultimately executed flawlessly like the backup plan was the primary plan all along. They coordinated all vendors seamlessly like they were also on staff. The food was fantastic, not just at the wedding reception, but at every event. This is a special place!

d event, where everyone was in one place, with no need for transportation. This is what first drew us to Interlaken. The weekend started with an amazing reception dinner cookout, followed by a bonfire by the lake, with s'mores, a keg, and boxed wine. The lake is where ceremonies are held, right across the street from the Main Lodge. The view is amazing. All the boats are available for guests to use, as are the swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, and game room (where our after party was held). The reception is at their permanent year round tent. Outside, the greenery and flowers are beautiful. The venue is laid back, rustic, and lush. There is so much amazing outdoor space for family and bridal party photos as well. Michelle gave us our venue tour and Tori was our wedding coordinator. We love them both. They never made it feel like we asked too many questions- and we asked a lot! Tori is a pro and ensured we considered every detail. She then helped make the whole wedding day go smoothly. And let's not forget the food by Chef Daire- AMAZING. I know we might be biased, but we've never had better food at a wedding, and guests said so too! You are in great hands and will not be disappointed if you choose to get married at Interlaken Inn.

they took, their drive was very scenic.. Interlaken is such a charming venue. Compact yet very diverse in accommodation and entertainment options - from lakefront with its warm and cozy bonfire to sports amenities to billiard & table tennis, which were very much appreciated by our guests during the afterparty. As for food, we did outside catering (as it was an Indian wedding), but I had a chance to have lunch at Interlaken - the fish and chips were the best I’ve ever had! Interlaken staff deserve a separate section. I wish I knew all the names of those guys that were there for us during these 3 days. We all were treated as if we were the most important guests. And it felt absolutely genuine. Mark was such a big help and Michelle was simply amazing - very professional, straight to the point and accommodating at the same time. Even some very specific needs were met. We loved working with her! We wish Michelle and her team all the best with her amazing venue! Vishal and Anastasia

o be a breath of fresh air after having met with many venues prior. Other venues had literally pushed me to the side (the groom) to speak to my then fiancée saying “Brides love our view over here…brides favorite thing is this photo spot..etc.” – we didn’t experience this with Michelle and Interlaken – we were treated as equals who are (shockingly!) both involved in the wedding planning process. Yes Michelle and her staff are running a business, but we found everyone to be a truly kind person who genuinely care – which really meant a lot. We knew on the drive home from the first drive home from Interlaken that it was the correct venue for us. Beautiful, unique, serene lakeside ceremony with the perfect blend of indoor/outdoor (permanent, nice tent) reception, with the entire venue itself having the perfect blend of modern/funky yet rustic woodsy feel that was right up our alley. This combined from the positive feeling we felt in speaking with Michelle confirmed right then and there this was where we wanted to get married. Interlaken certainly isn’t inexpensive, but we did find it be pretty reasonably priced for what you get and relative to some other quotes we received. Also a heads up for those that are looking for that (mostly)outdoor/tent wedding…most places we found that have this – they are just renting you a piece of land and do very little else. The tent, the catering…everything needs to be done by an outside contractor which always adds up to be more expensive. Interlaken was perfect because everything is included. We just hired photographers, a florist, and a DJ and everything else was taken care of…including the food which is absolutely amazing. When we had our tasting we were blown away at the quality of the food and still a little skeptical that the quality would be the same on the wedding day for 150 guests, but it was just as delicious – truly unique to find real quality, fresh food at a wedding, nevermind that it ends up being more reasonably priced than other venue’s outside catering that come in and reheat some mediocre food. We really can’t recommend Interlaken enough and encourage any couples reading this to go meet with the nice people, view the beautiful lakeside ceremony spot, the fun, upscale indoor/outdoor tent reception, taste the delicious food and decide for yourself!

've ever seen. The grounds were stunning the day of our wedding and everyone spoke of how friendly the staff was. In fact, our family member became quite friendly with their waitress throughout the reception! The planning was easy with Victoria's help. I also used almost every recommended vendor, which were some of the best I've seen! I couldn't be more pleased with our wedding day, wish we could do it every weekend. Thanks so much, Interlaken Inn! We will be back again soon.

etter than I could have imagined!! The Interlaken exceeded our expectations in every way. The lakeside ceremony was so beautiful and the tent is stunning. The draping and chandeliers in place are so pretty that we didn't need to add an extra decor or lighting apart from florals. Everyone at the Interlaken was so friendly and accommodating. Dan and I truly felt like VIPs from the minute we checked in on Friday until we checked out on Sunday. They thought and took care of everything. Our friends and family kept saying how it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to so a huge thank you to the entire wedding team for making everything so picture perfect! The team was so professional and wonderful to work with, especially our planners Victoria and Caitrin and Chef Daire who all went above and beyond! Victoria was so easy to work with and organized throughout the entire planning process. Catrin's calm energy day-of was key and she kept the day running smoothly and made sure all details were taken care of. As an event planner myself, I knew my wedding was in good hands with such a great pair. Chef Daire hands down is the best. The food and service were fabulous—two of our guests are chefs and they both commented how the steak was perfectly cooked and how delicious everything was! And the cake was the prettiest wedding cake I've ever seen--and was so good (many of our guests had 2 or 3 pieces). We loved that the Interlaken has a space within the Wedding Pavilion to host an after party so we were able to keep the night going. All of our out-of-town guests were able to stay on site and could really enjoy all of the amenities the Interlaken has to offer.

taking photography classes to take pictures. I am very impressed with the exceptional customer service! I can't thank Caroline and her staff enough for everything!

erfectly, adapting to curveballs as they arose. Victoria even found my dad’s lost speech and returned it to him and kept my veil for me when I carlessly left it on a chair somewhere. She also along with chef daire orchestrated the delivery of 1500 cookies to the cookies table. A truly impressive feat. And the chefs food at the rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour and wedding were amazing. We honestly had the best day because of the wedding planning team. Thank you thank you!

odations are updated beautifully. We absolutely LOVED staying in the Basha Cottage for the weekend. Michelle B. is wonderful to work with - so sweet, patient, calm, caring, loving, and accommodating. Also, the chef is amazing. (She is newer and in my opinion, much better than the previous chef.) The food was delicious and was presented very beautifully. She even came out during our after party to ask us how we were doing and see if we needed anything else. The hotel manager and Michelle also popped in to check on me before walking down the aisle. We received many compliments (especially the food and the gorgeous lake front ceremony site) from our very happy guests. I definitely recommend renting the golf cart to shuttle guests back and forth, and my only complaint would be that I think the rain plan room inside & the dining room need to be updated. The tent company will not refund your deposit if you rent a tent and don't end up needing it. (I know Interlaken is constantly updating everything, so I'm sure the dining room and vineyard room will be done next. ) Luckily, it did not rain on my wedding day!! =) We are looking forward to returning there to celebrate our anniversaries in the future and to bringing our children there one day as well! Thank you for everything, Interlaken!

When the day came, I had absolutely nothing to worry about; the team took care of absolutely everything! Victoria, our planner, was so calm and organized and kept everything running to perfection, even timing our bridal party entry to the second! Chef Daire made the most incredible spread for us- guests are still talking about the food! We are so grateful to the entire staff for giving us and our guests a weekend we will never forget and cannot recommend Interlaken highly enough to any couple looking for the perfect New England wedding! Love, The Does

ion! Our only complaint has nothing to do with the venue but with the wedding coordinator, Tiffany. For the two years of planning, she was fabulous and on top of every little detail and maintained strong communication via email...then went AWOL the day of our actual wedding. For starters, she never informed my wedding party as to where they should convene for our rehearsal dinner, so people were milling about and confused as to where to go. On Saturday (our wedding day) she never checked in with the bridal suite to tell us where to meet and at what time; when my mother called the front desk, the receptionist told her that she didn’t know where Tiffany was and had no means by which to reach her. We later found out that Tiffany was showing the venue to another prospective couple and that apparently took priority over the actual wedding currently taking place and for which she was responsible. Additionally, I had spent weeks making wedding decorations and signs, including one which announced my name and my fiancé’s with an arrow pointing toward the lake so that guests would know that the ceremony would take place there and not across the street in the venue proper. Tiffany did not place that sign outside, and so guests had no idea where to go. The most offensive wrong, however, occurred when she failed to come tell the bridal party to come down to the lake. Long story short, my bridal party had to surround me like a phalanx and smuggle-run me down the hill in hopes that guests wouldn’t see me before the ceremony. Many said they did. When we got to the lake, we saw Tiffany sitting in a lounge chair. She never apologized for ignoring us on our wedding day or even acknowledged any wrongdoing, and for these reasons I am writing this review. Our wedding day is the one day my fiancé and I should have felt special and taken care of, and Tiffany failed to make that happen in the end. She may have been attentive and done her job during the planning period, but completely dropped the ball professionally on the one day it counted.

Yet, we were able to take beautiful photographs by the lake. One wonderful aspect of the Interlaken is that the alternative ceremony space, and the alternative cocktail hour space, do not make you feel you are settling for a plan B. What makes Interlaken so special, is its incredibly attentive staff. Everyone’s mission is to make sure we have the most spectacular and worry- free day. Every concern and request was met with, “Don’t worry, we’ll take care of it”. And that is exactly what happened. The food is amazing, and the chefs and entire waitstaff are so professional and absolutely wonderful to work with. Our guests could not praise the staff enough. I cannot give the Interlaken enough compliments. The weekend -from rehearsal dinner to brunch -was exactly what we envisioned. We feel like we have a new extended family. That’s how fantastic everyone treated us. If you’re looking for a unique wedding with attention to detail, exceptional food and service, a welcoming atmosphere, rustic charm, and a beautiful setting, look no further than the Interlaken Inn. A special “thank you” to Kevin, Tiffany, Tori and Darie.

aged, my now husband said, "ok call them and make an appointment!" We only looked at the Interlaken and we both knew it was perfect. I married my husband in a BEAUTIFUL lakeside ceremony, although rain threatened to ruin that, the sun came out at just the right time and made the day perfect. The staff was exceptionally nice and the food was AMAZING! Our guests still tell us how beautiful everything was and how great the food was. Our vendors commented on how beautiful the Inn is and how it felt like a destination wedding. I'm so glad I not only found the love of my life, but was able to have the fairytale wedding I'd always dreamed of!

ughout the entire planning process. We had the bonfire the first night - memorable and unique - it was a great way to kickoff the weekend with our family and friends. This venue was made for fall weddings, the colors did not disappoint and Tiffany had the timing down perfectly. Dinner was world-class and I would encourage anyone reading this to enjoy the restaurant while evaluating the venue. Allergy accommodations were made and everyone was raving about the food. The after-party was a lot of fun and our guests really enjoyed the continued time to keep the party going. Same goes for the Sunday breakfast - it was a great way to end the weekend. All-in-all, we are very impressed by Interlaken's attention to detail and uncompromising level of service.

favors, etc. and didn't have to worry about them at all. She was the point person with all the vendors and no one contacted me or my husband the day of. Tiffany was air-traffic controller for the rehearsal and real ceremony. We wanted to have a full weekend celebration. On Friday night, we had the Fiesta package Welcome Dinner. The food was incredible. Our guests went up for seconds and thirds. Then, we had the bonfire by the lake. The set up was cute. Saturday, my husband set up games around the grounds. I got ready in the penthouse which was beautiful & huge. At the ceremony, everything was perfect. We asked for our specialty cocktail to be served before the ceremony and Tiffany got it done. While we took pics, she brought us appetizers. The cocktail hour and reception were perfectly set up. The appetizers came around plentifully. The oyster station was refilled at least four times. There were enough high and regular tables at the cocktail hour that no one had to struggle with food and drink. We wanted a particular schedule for dinner to maximize dancing and Tiffany completely accommodated. She handled allergies with ease. Our guests loved the food. Some said the lobster bisque was the best they ever had. Others said the same about the duck. I know many guests tried all three types of pies at our dessert station. Also, the bartenders gave generous pours and guests appreciated it. After the reception, Tiffany packed up our special items quickly. There was no confusion at the end about our sentimental stuff or our anniversary cake. Tiffany managed the afterparty and was willing to keep our desserts out longer so guests could snack. I can't say enough. I wish it was our wedding weekend again.

e us the setting for a beautiful weekend filled with lawn games, dancing, and good times. Everyone raved about how gorgeous the scenery was, how good the food was, how great the whole weekend was. The rooms are a bit more expensive than your average hotel, but Interlaken has a great selection of town houses and cottages that you can pack your younger, more cash-strapped guests into- and they'll have more fun that way also! Tiffany, their wedding coordinator, was just a dream and made our whole weekend so effortless and perfect. Cannot say enough good things!!

er, made the planning and celebration experience not only stress-free, but enjoyable. She even went out of her way to stay in contact and respond to my many emails while she was away on vacation. The day went by so fast (as everyone said it would) and I wish we could do it all again! We are looking forward to a return visit and will relive our wedding experience through our photographs until then :)

the vibe terrific and my wedding coordinator Tiffany, THE BEST. I want to do it again!!!

Michelle your awesome!!!

ted. The Interlaken Inn offered a laid back, cozy, and welcoming vibe that our friends and family are still raving about. Guests swam in the lake, played games on the lawn, and took advantage of the beautiful grounds - exactly how we planned it. They even arranged for good weather. The staff was friendly, and the food was fantastic! The only bad thing is that it had to come to an end. We hope to come back one day soon!

cute, well-decorated, and stocked with little creature comforts. Interlaken Inn’s customer service is some of the best I have experienced in any of my travels. Since this was a destination wedding, it was very important that we had help planning from a distance. Michelle was so responsive and helped us plan every step of the way to make sure that our fantasy became a reality. She was personally invested in our day and genuinely cared about making it magical, down to the very last detail. I’d go so far as to say she was more enthusiastic and helpful than even a Maid of Honor! The Interlaken Inn makes every effort to create a custom and memorable experience for each of its guests. The attention to detail is remarkable and everything possible is done to make you feel special. The catering and onsite restaurant, Morgan’s, are astounding. The presentation of the food is more than Instagram worthy. It looks ripped from the pages of Saveur Magazine. The preparation would impress even the harshest food critic. The farm to table experience can be appreciated with every bite, as the freshness and quality ingredients distinguish it from the average wedding fare. I promise that once you have your wedding at the Interlaken Inn, you will want to come back for every anniversary. I know we do!

off the weekend. On the wedding day we had our unique ceremony down by the lake, a cocktail hour in the beautiful garden, dinner and reception in the tent and an after party in the game room/study. Everything went so smoothly and it is evident their team is very well trained, which eased all the stress of the day and allowed us to really enjoy it to the fullest. I am not the greatest planner but Tiffany really pulled it all together and made sure the day went exactly as hoped! Their food is truly amazing – high restaurant quality and not at all like generic wedding food. We also loved that all of our guests could stay on premise, not have to worry about transportation, and maximize our time together. I keep thinking back on how perfect it all turned out, definitely a day I will cherish forever. I would highly, highly recommend Interlaken for those looking for a beautiful, well organized venue. We keep getting comments on how memorable and fun the day was, and it was all thanks to the Interlaken!

erlaken Inn once by myself and again to show my mother & my fiancé. Even in the middle of winter, the venue is breathtaking (just take a look at the gorgeous photos!). Teri showed me around the first time and spent well over the "normal" amount of time with me answering all my questions and showing me every inch of the property. The next visit, Michelle - who is the warmest person you will ever meet- took us around. By the end of the visit I felt like she was an old friend. I highly recommend this venue and these wonderful women to take care of your special day! They really think of everything to make it perfect, and they go above and beyond what is "expected" of a wedding venue.

fit.  The Inn had all of the features we wanted; great rooms for our guests, an amazing restaurant, and a beautiful space for our reception. Tiffany worked with us every step of the way, was super responsive when it came to questions and requests, and on the big day she ran the entire event perfectly. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding!

coordinator, and Michelle, the owner of the inn were absolutly fantastic. They accommodated all of our customization to our wedding package and Stephanie was increadibly responsive and helpful with any issue or question I threw at her throughout our 8 months planning period. Once the wedding weekend arrived, Steph was increadibly reassuring, solving any issue that came up during the wedding weekend (weather changes, vendors being late and etc). I could not praise her enough. She is incredible at what she does! The wedding itself was everything my husband and I wanted. Our guests loved the Inn's beautiful rustic surroundings. The food was incredible. People kept telling us that our steak entree was better than most stakes they had in a New York steak house! The interlaken inn and its staff really provided us with the perfect wedding weekend and we highly recommend this venue!

genuinely happy for us, from the wait staff to the receptionist, extremely kind and full of compliments and the sweetest words. Tiffany and Stephanie were helpful every single step of the way and on our big day Tiffany was within an earshot if I needed anything at all. If only we could get married again and again then life would be perfect. Until a bow renewal we'll just have to come back for Valentine's Day and anniversaries. I cannot say more words, I'm just so thankful. I love Interlaken Inn!!!! I'm so glad for my special day I'll always have such a great memory of such a great place. Couldn't ask for more!

hen we first started planning in July, to a full-on 100 person wedding with the works by September (because clearly, we didn't exactly know what we were doing). Every single step of the way, they were friendly and accommodating. We worked exclusively with Tiffany for everything, who was incredible. She was so responsive and calm throughout the entire process, and I really needed that, because we were doing this quickly and somewhat cluelessly. She could not have been a more perfect fit to help us!!! Also a shout out to Terry, who booked our event initially, and who was incredibly understanding, given that we really did not know what we wanted at first! We initially had a lakeside ceremony planned, but it was super rainy, so we needed to move to the atrium area (off of the tent, which I was bummed about at first). Can I just say that when I walked down there for the ceremony, I was FLOORED at how absolutely beautiful the ENTIRE PLACE looked!!! We did not go crazy with decorations at all, and it looked amazing, both the ceremony and reception. People are still telling me how beautiful they thought everything was. Seriously impressive! I look back at our photos and just cannot believe how beautiful they made the place look. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, regardless of the rain. You are really in good hands with the Interlaken. They have back-up plans, accommodations, flexibility, and staffing that many other places just don't. The food was also incredible, fyi (although I barely ate!), and our after-party with twenty or so friends/family went until two in the bar. We loved that too. Everything was perfect, and this was all executed in three months. We totally recommend and cannot wait to come back and visit for our anniversary!!!!

ty of activities and amenities. We wanted to really have the time to connect with all of our favorite people over a full weekend, rather than trying to squeeze it all into one evening. This is exactly what Interlaken offers and we couldn't have been happier with the beautiful location, site amenities, neighboring towns, and wonderfully helpful staff. We knew we were in good hands with Stephanie right from the start. We had some atypical requests that Stephanie and her team worked with us on and accommodated immediately. Once we arrived at Interlaken at the beginning of the weekend, we handed everything over to Stephanie and her team -- we didn't have to worry about a thing. It was a magical weekend at an incredible site, and we would highly recommend it to any couple.

w we wanted a venue that would allow us to hold events throughout the weekend for our guests, as this was a destination wedding for most of our guests. Interlaken won us over with their accommodating and flexible attitude, beautiful ceremony site and full wedding weekend offerings. We chose to do a rehearsal dinner and bonfire on Friday night, wedding Saturday and farewell brunch on Sunday. Our wedding weekend could not have been better! Our guests are still raving about the venue itself, the food, the charming guest rooms, the friendly staff and the overall happy vibe that was felt by all at our wedding at Interlaken. Stephanie, our wedding coordinator, was fabulous! She was responsive throughout the planning process. She was extremely flexible, detail-oriented and helpful. She worked with us on every detail and always figured out a way to make things work. On the day of the wedding, she exceeded our expectations! She went out of her way to ensure that the day was seamless. She even averted a potential "crisis" when she realized that our LED candles on our centerpieces did not have batteries with them (our fault!). She went out and purchased the batteries, put them all in and saved the day, without ever alerting us to the issue! You really are in good hands with her. Even my mom and I, who both tend to be type A when it comes to planning, were told to just relax on the day of the wedding and hand everything over to her. We felt so at ease having Stephanie running the show! Overall, I cannot say enough great things about having our wedding at Interlaken. I really have no complaints whatsoever. The staff did their best to accommodate all of the early check in requests on Friday. The food all throughout the weekend was delicious. Our guests loved the bonfire the night before the wedding! It was so nice to say hello to everyone before actual wedding. I also have to rave about the penthouse suite! It is the most amazing suite of all the places we toured! You will be in heaven spending your wedding day getting ready there! We lucked out with the weather. It was beautiful all weekend long! It is a wonderful feeling knowing that my dream wedding actually became reality. Both my husband and I are so thankful for the incredible memories that were made on our wedding weekend at Interlaken. It is a place that will now also be held near and dear to our hearts. We definitely plan to return some day for an anniversary weekend!

d Interlaken. We were able to have the ceremony lakeside and when it looked like it was going to rain, cocktail hour was moved inside. Working with Stephanie leading up to the wedding and that day of was wonderful. She was extremely responsive and detail oriented, helping us plan the day and weekend so it went seamlessly. We couldn’t be happier with how the weekend went—from the welcome dinner the night before, drinks in the game room, actual wedding, and breakfast the morning after, everything was wonderful. It was great having all the guests in one place and there was no need to arrange transportation. The whole weekend was taken care of perfectly, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The food was also delicious!

ff, food, the events that they planned, they gave my son and new daughter in law the wedding of their dreams. I would highly recommend the Interlaken for your wedding!

booking the venue up until the bride/groom leave after the wedding. The inn helped make our "wedding weekend" plans come true. We unloaded all of our centerpieces, etc and Stephanie took care of everything! I felt so at ease as a bride. The food was delicious, the set up was perfect, and the service overall was outstanding (even with a larger wedding guest list). The 2-night minimum for rooms at the inn is a little expensive, but worth it. Our guests had a blast all weekend. The honeymoon "penthouse" is absolutely amazing- complete with hot tub and private deck area. We could not have been happier with where we chose to have our special day. Our plans for our anniversary celebrations will most definitely include the inn!

night before the wedding and a brunch the morning after. First and foremost, Stephanie, the wedding coordinator, is AWESOME!! She was easy to work with, responsive when I needed her and most importantly, made me feel like I had nothing to worry about the day of the wedding. Second, the food is AMAZING! This was definitely the best wedding food I've ever had! Third, the hotel is really nice, all the rooms are spacious and well kept. The Interlaken was everything I was hoping it would be and more. I couldn't be happier with the way everything turned out!!

ng through every step of the process exceeded every expectation we had. They only do one wedding a weekend so we truly felt special at the Inn. Our guests loved the bonfire and rehearsal dinner on site. I can not say enough about how much I enjoyed our wedding day and our stay. We will be coming back every year for our anniversary :) Thank you Interlaken Staff and especially Stephanie and Brandon. Sara V.

ends all in one place! When we came across Interlaken Inn we knew we hit the nail on the head! The venue has various types of rooms that all of your guests can stay in for the weekend and plenty of activities for your guests to enjoy through out the weekend! We were able to have a beautiful welcome dinner onsite so that when the guest arrived on Friday they didn't have to go anywhere else, following the dinner we had a BEAUTIFUL lakeside bonfire which the guests LOVED. On Saturday, everyone was able to enjoy all the amenities of Interlaken, by canoeing, swimming, tennis etc, which everyone really enjoyed! As for the wedding itself, it was all perfect! One of the things that is a little scary for a bride and groom who choose to have an outdoor wedding is what if the weather doesn't hold out? Stephanie and the staff at Interlaken have various rain plans which we ended up partially using, however you wouldn't have even known that it was the "rain plan" because it went so smoothly! It's been two weeks since our wedding and our guests are still emailing and texting that they had such an amazing time all weekend, and that they felt like they were on a mini vacation all weekend - which is EXACTLY what we wanted. As for the food at the venue, Brandon and the staff absolutely knocked it out of the park, they did our welcome dinner, lunch on Saturday, Reception, After Party Food and Goodbye Brunch and it was ALL phenomenal. I am still dreaming of our Southern Style Welcome Dinner and multiple people said the filet mignon at the reception was the best they have every had! Additionally, all of the meals are farm to table in a super unpretentious way - which we loved! They source everything locally and it really shines through with the quality of their food. Morgan's Restaurant at Interlaken is absolutely incredible as well so make sure to get lunch or dinner there when you visit the venue! As for Stephanie, our wedding coordinator at Interlaken Inn - she was absolute perfection in every way and had everything completely under control. Even if you are a relaxed bride, (which I thought I was going to be) weddings end up being a stressful but fun event and Stephanie put me completely at ease. She has a ton of experience with weddings so listen to her advice she knows what she is talking about! She has excellent recommendations for vendors as well which was very helpful! She was so easy to work with through out the entire process and is a true professional and just a really lovely person in general! I cannot say enough amazing things about Interlaken Inn, their delicious food, perfect venue, their beautiful grounds, and their amazing staff. Choose Interlaken Inn if you want to have the best wedding ever!

he moment we booked the venue, until the moment we checked out post wedding. She is detail oriented, and always willing to answer one of the 1000 questions that came up during the wedding planning process, and because she does this every weekend, she knows exactly what works, and what doesn't over the course of the wedding weekend. She is a true asset to each couple, and the inn. In terms of the venue itself, it was a perfect day. We had our ceremony lakeside, overlooking the water, and it was just lovely. Cocktail hour was on the lawn outside the tented reception space, and the actual reception is held in the permanent tent structure, which is a perfect space for a celebration. The food was amazing, and the waitstaff and bartenders were on point all night. Another awesome feature was the honeymoon sweet, which was gorgeous and complete with patio and hot tub. It was the perfect place to return to after the reception had ended. In addition to the wedding day, we had a bonfire with beer/cider and S'mores the night before the wedding. Interlaken offers this lakeside, and it is the perfect way to spend the evening before the wedding, seeing out-of-town guests that may have not been at the rehearsal dinner. One thing to keep in mind, and was mildly annoying, is that interlaken will only hold rooms for your wedding until 6 months prior to your wedding date, and they are generally full on weekends during the spring/summer months. It meant that we needed to get our save-the-dates out early, so people could book rooms. Overall, the entire event was spectacular, and my wife and I now just want to start planning our 25 anniversary party at Interlaken too.

arsal Dinner BBQ, lakeside bonfire, Wedding Ceremony by the beautiful lake, then hors d'oeuvres, wedding dinner and an after party. The next morning we provided a parting brunch. The setting, accommodations, food, and service were all fabulous. All the family members and guests raved about the wedding weekend experience. The Inn provides Stephanie, an outstanding young woman who helped plan the wedding event, down to menus and vendors. We hired a local florist, Joanne Scasso at the Country Gardener to do our flowers, tent lanterns, the lakeside chuppah and the flowers for the wedding party. She was totally amazing! We all could NOT have been more pleased with this most important event. I would highly recommend this venue.

nue, given that everything was on-site. I cannot recommend highly enough

ubbe was so helpful with all of our wedding planning, from start to finish she guided us along the way. Rave reviews from all who attended our special day. The food was absolutely delicious and the rooms were private and cozy. We highly recommend Interlaken Inn for anything from a night out for a romantic dinner to a big elaborate beautiful wedding, they will be sure to go above and beyond your expectations. -Tim & Ashley Rebstad-

e spring, summer, fall weddings had we also had for half the cost. The food was delicious the after party in the restaurant was a great way to unwind and the service was wonderful. Anything I asked for they were able to accommodate. The only downfall is the price of the guest rooms if you have people staying over but because we were saving so much money with the wedding we were able to chip in for some of the rooms for people who couldn't afford the full price. I was able to plan and execute my wedding in three months with the help of the staff at the Interlaken as well as the recommended florist they provided for me.

ay of my life and everything was very organized. The most beautiful wedding I have ever seen or been to. I would recommend this venue to everyone for any occasion.

possible, from it's unique "campus" feel with a variety of room types, a game room for kids, the lake and tennis courts, etc. Their wedding coordinator and head chef are fantastic to work with and make all the stages of planning easy - they make the wedding weekend itself very stress-free too! I highly recommend this location for a whole weekend gathering and it makes planning easy with all food taken care of on sight (plus there are excellent vendors in the area for music, photography, etc.).

g they had ever attended (no BS!). Why so? Because: The location was perfect for our families to spend the weekend together and get to know each other. Once people arrived on site on Friday, they didn't have to get in their cars until Sunday. All the logistics/thought went out the window - everyone could just focus on spending time with each other and having fun. Stephanie (on site planner) was incredibly helpful through the whole process. She's totally calm and knows the drill, yet is still able to adjust to personal touches along the way. We did the Friday night rehearsal dinner BBQ followed by bonfire down by the lake. It was perfectly informal while at the same time organized and worry free. Everything at the lake was set up for us (keg, fire, smores, etc), but there wasn't staff buzzing around - it felt like our own personal lake party. We had a port a potty brought down to the lake for Friday/Sat which I would recommend - $300 well spent. We also had a guitarist play music while we all set off chinese lanterns...and maybe a firework or two...everyone had a blast. Guys golfed on Saturday while girls got ready. The new bridal suite was really terrific - thanks to Stephanie for allowing us to get in there a day early! There's an outdoor deck area where the groomsmen hung out before the ceremony. The lakeside ceremony area was beautiful. There was a crew across the lake that was playing loud music during our ceremony, but we barely even noticed. The reception was truly special - we were able to decorate the tent/reception area to our liking with no issues from the venue. Food was very good - actually ended up being better than it was at our tasting. We did an afterparty at the bar where everyone hung out into the wee hours. Plenty to do in the nearby towns during the day for those who don't like the lake, pool, golf, etc. Stephanie recommended a great restaraunt about a mile away where we had Thursday night dinner with the families. Only drawbacks to Interlaken would be that it was a little on the expensive side - however so much is included in that price that it probably balances out. You don't need a planner, transportation, and so many other little things that end up adding up. For us it was worth a little more to have everything/everyone on site all weekend. By the end of the weekend so many people had made new friends. Some of the rooms (but not all) are a little outdated as well, but there wasn't much time spent in them. No one complained about that! All in all, we would get married again at Interlaken in a second.

wedding come true. Let me begin by saying that Stephanie, Brandon, and the entire Interlaken staff exceeded our every expectation from the moment we arrived. They were most accommodating, professional, and helpful in every way possible throughout the entire planning process and straight through check-out. I was so impressed with their attention to detail but more importantly their ability to execute our plan just as we had imagined. On Friday evening our guests began to arrive for our Welcome Barbecue which was from 6-8:30, we had about 100 people attend dinner. Even though it was a cool fall evening, we opted to have picnic tables setup outside in the garden area which worked out perfectly. While the Interlaken has several preset menu options, we were able to tailor the menu to our wishes. Needless to say, the food was amazing!!! The set-up of the tables and service area was also top notch and classy. We also had a local musician sing/ play acoustic guitar during the evening which was great… After dinner we had a lakeside bonfire with music, kegs, wine, and all the fixings for smores and hot chocolate. Even though it was a bit chilly out Friday night, the fire was cranking and everyone was enjoying themselves down by the lake. Saturday's ceremony started at 4pm, cocktail from 5-6, reception 6-10, and we had an after party in the hotel bar from 10-until ???. Like the rest of the weekend everything worked out perfectly. Stephanie made sure all of the vendors were coordinated and set up for kick-off… She made the entire afternoon run smoothly. The lakeside ceremony was beautiful and the weather cooperated which made for an amazing outdoor wedding. After the ceremony, the rest of our night was an absolute blur, but I can tell you that my wife and I had the absolute best night of our lives and couldn't be happier with the Interlaken. All of the food/drink for the cocktail hour as well as main course was delicious and our guests were more than pleased. A side about the food prep: It was PRO! The Interlaken takes care and pride in their food and it truly shows. Their food is crafted to perfection and not just massed produced. We had fish, and meat options and both were prepared and cooked wonderfully! Our other vendors i.e. DJ, Flower/decoration, Photographer, found it very easy to work with and at the Interlaken which made everyone's night more relaxed. One of the qualities that we were most impressed with was the Interlaken's easy going attitude. Nothing was out of the question, all of our wishes were possible, and they weren't pushy or rude about any of our requests in planning or during the weekend. My wife was in contact with Stephanie everyday in the weeks leading up to our wedding and she really helped in keeping us calm and focused. Steph really is an awesome wedding planner and you will have no problems working with her. She is organized and on her A game throughout the process. If you're looking for an awesome venue for your wedding, something that is a little different and guaranteed to please you and your guests there is no better option the Interlaken Inn. I would without question have my wedding here if I had to do it all over again. Thank you Stephanie and Brandon!!

ge color around us and we got a perfect sunny warm autumn day. The inn allows for plenty of guests, which is unusual for the area, so we were able to keep everything (rehearsal dinner, ceremony, wedding party prep, reception etc.) on their property where most guests stayed. The food, prepared by their head chef Brandon and his staff was beyond impressive. He listened to our requests to add cultural themes from each of our backgrounds, worked it into the menu options and executed flawlessly. Our guests raved about the food (and the portions), something many of us have experienced in the past as a letdown at a wedding. The on-site coordinator Stephanie was also incredibly flexible and helpful, and went out of her way to answer our 1 million questions and asks. Her and her staff made sure every detail was perfect even though we skipped a florist and needed her team to do the majority of the cocktail hour and reception set-up. We would also highly recommend the penthouse honeymoon suite. It's huge, brand new, and made our 3 night stay feel like a luxury vacation.

r for Interlaken. She is amazing!!! From the moment we booked our date with them up until we said our goodbyes and thank you's on Sunday when we left, she was great! I cannot put into words how wonderful she is. She worked with me and made sure everything went just the way my husband and I wanted it to go. The morning of our wedding Stephanie called me and made sure I was doing okay and that we were ready for the ceremony. The receptionists are also very wonderful! The food is also beyond amazing! The head chef Brandon is amazing! Our food was delicious! All of our guests enjoyed the food as did we. The Inn itself is beautiful and the grounds are amazing! My husband and I could not have asked for a more perfect day or a more helpful and lovely staff!! Words cannot describe the amazing job Interlaken Inn did for our wedding. I would highly recommend them to anyone for a wedding or any kind of event!!

he venue we knew it was the one. Greeted by such lovely people made it even better. We wanted a venue that we could be completely creative and create our dream wedding. This was it. From the beginning they were helpful. We of course asked a million questions. Which I definitely suggest. Allowing us to be creative and plan a wedding weekend for myself and now husband which we both will never forget . We loved the location and how beautiful it all was. A dream. Family and friends stayed the whole weekend . It's a two night min place, but totally worth it !!! There are so many really cute things to do in the area.Everyone has not stopped talking about it. Not to mention the food was AMAZING!! We are so grateful and wouldn't change a thing!! If your looking for a place to create your dream wedding that has a beautiful setting this is it. Thank you Stephanie & Brandon !

ator Stephanie had it all under control! From Friday afternoon when we handed everything over to her, we were allowed to simply take it all in and enjoy every second knowing that the details would be taken care of by her! Everyone at the Interlaken Inn was so welcoming and helpful! They really cater the whole experience to you! Couldn't be happier with the decision to have our wedding here!!!

on to detail, is a problem solver and doesn't seem to be shocked or rattled by anything. On the day of, I literally did not worry about a thing. She took care of things I hadn't even thought to mention (including a last minute guest). Steph alone is reason enough to get married here, but I will go on- The Inn has 80+ rooms, which was perfect to house our 175 guests. There were several types to choose from, our favs being the detached Woodside suites (pet friendly), townhouses (affordable option for large families & groups of friends) and traditional main building rooms. The reception tent is beautiful, with permanent flooring, roll up sides (so workable in hot or cold weather), and attached to a permanent building with bathrooms and game rooms. The welcome bbq, cocktail, reception & brunch food was all delicious. Brandon is very skilled and also very flexible. We requested a midnight taco bar at our after party and boy did he deliver! The number of options is almost overwhelming. Interlaken makes planning a unique wedding weekend very easy. We had a welcome bbq, followed by a lakeside bonfire on Friday night. There were tons of available pre-ceremony activities on Sat. (kayaking, swimming, volleyball, hiking, etc.) We held a post-reception after party at the hotel bar/restaurant, Morgan's. We finished everything off with a Sunday morning buffet brunch. Pricing is broken down into various packages for each event, and is easy to follow. The bill can be split up however the bride and groom like. The staff was incredibly kind and very tolerant of our sometimes boisterous guests. We took the place over with lawn games and group sing-alongs, and no one batted an eye. Our guests RAVED about this place. Our families LOVED this place. I highly recommend!

would allow her opportunities to be with her guests for the whole weekend, not just at her wedding reception. Interlaken Inn was a perfect choice! We loved that Chef Brandon Scimeca supports local farmers by planning menus around seasonal produce; and his meals are delicious. During our wedding weekend, the whole staff was welcoming and helpful to all our guests. We had several organized events and, thanks to the staff, all went off exactly as planned. The facilities and surrounding grounds and lake made it very easy to entertain our guests during other times. Much of the success of our weekend is attributable to Stephanie Holst-Grubbe, Interlaken Inn’s wedding coordinator, who is warm, friendly and very professional. From beginning to end, she was amazing! She knew the questions to ask to keep up on track with our planning and she always knew the answers to any questions we had. She provided a list of local vendors and those we used were terrific. During the wedding weekend, she managed all the details with our vendors, she was unflappable in the face of ever-changing weather which necessitated setting up events multiple times in alternate spaces, she accommodated me by making sure that the tiniest details I had planned were attended to, and she was a calm director for the ceremony, even making sure I didn’t overreact when my daughter announced that instead of walking down the aisle, she wanted to arrive by canoe (and Stephanie was right, it worked out great and my daughter was very happy!). Because of Stephanie, I was able to relax and enjoy the whole weekend with our guests. As I said before, she was amazing! I definitely recommend Interlaken Inn as a wedding venue!

o the areas inns. We had passed by the Interlaken but the facade of the Interlaken had never pulled us in. It was always well maintained and beautifully landscaped but the architecture of the facilities did not really fit our aesthetic. But not having a lot to choose from we went for a tour. We were very impressed with the views at the lake and the overall layout of the grounds. We felt it could be a really lovely place to have our friends and family stay for a weekend in the CT country side. Director of Food and Beverage/Chef Brandon was very professional and easy to work with thru the contracting process. Once we had confirmed our wedding we began working with Stephanie Holst Grubbe. Stephanie was wonderful to deal with. Although she handles dozens of brides at a time she was always lovely and on the ball. Her attention to detail was amazing. She met every challenge we threw her way and made our day/weekend at the Interlaken spectacular. Not that my opinion should mean anything more than anyone elses but I have been planning weddings for 25 years so planning my own wedding was a very big deal to me and I have worked at the best hotels and wedding venues in NYC. The staff at the Interlaken could not have done anything more for me. They exceeded my expectations. In particular the quality and care that went into the food and beverage was exceptional. If you are planning your wedding at the Interlaken make sure you do the Bonfire. Ours was almost rained out but they made it happen at the last minute.

re Jo!). Everything from the BBQ on Friday, ceremony and reception on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday was smooth and easy (not to mention the food was great). They were also amazing about listening to our concerns and tailoring the weekend to fit our needs. Stephanie and I must have exchanged over 100 emails over the course of a year, and she always responded quickly and helpfully (thanks again for that, Stephanie!). My family and friends absolutely loved our weekend at Interlaken. It's not just a wedding, it's a mini vacation to the countryside with your friends and family. The resort and the surrounding towns have something for everyone. I can honestly say I had a fun (and even relaxing!) wedding. Highly recommended.

ng ran smoothly, we didn't have to worry about a thing. The entire day seemed to be taken care of and it was exactly how we wanted it! It was everything we dreamed of & more for our wedding!

We are from the Hartford area and were looking for a wedding venue that could serve as a weekend destination, but also relatively easy day trip for people from the Hartford area. We had about half our guests traveling from all over the country (and world) and about half from the Connecticut/New York area. We were also looking for a beautiful, natural setting and a venue that could accommodate all the wedding events- the rehearsal dinner, a Friday night party, the ceremony, and the cocktails/reception. We wanted everyone to relax and have fun outside; and not worry about driving from spot to spot. Well- we couldn’t find anything like this within an hour of Hartford. A few venues that met some of our requirements were prohibitively expensive. So, we expanded our search a little and found the Interlaken (about an hour and a half from Hartford). We are SO happy we did!! Everything with the Interlaken was easy. Stephanie (wedding coordinator) and Brandon (chef) were very flexible. I wanted to bake the cakes and other desserts and they were very supportive of that (other venues would have said “no way!”). There were so many great food options, we were able to build a very unique yet broad enough menu—to reflect us but also make everyone happy. During the planning process, Stephanie was very accommodating and efficient. I felt like I didn’t have to put much work into it because she had all the right questions and ideas ready. She was tightly connected with our fantastic florist (Country Gardener’s Florist). So, I knew that the table setting and decorations would come together very well. Now to our wedding weekend…We had a BBQ rehearsal dinner and an amazing lakeside bonfire on Friday night. On Saturday, the bridesmaids and I relaxed and got ready in the awesome new penthouse suite. My husband and his friends played flag football on the Inn’s lawn. Our other guests explored Millerton and Salisbury, hiked, fished, swam, played tennis, and canoed at the lake (at the Inn). The lakeside ceremony was absolutely beautiful—you barely need any decorations. The setting speaks for itself. We took photos in the birch trees at the lake (best photo spot!) and did the outside cocktail hour and the pavilion reception at the Inn. All the food was GREAT. So many people came up to us and said their pork, filet, ahi, etc was “perfectly cooked” or the substitute meal due to allergies was awesome. You rarely hear that about wedding food- especially at a 135 person wedding! After the reception ended at 10, we moved to Morgan’s bar for an after party. It was great to keep the party going- for those who still had energy. Overall- I cannot think of a better place or better people to pull off an outdoorsy/rustic wedding weekend.

ry accommodating. It was a pleasure working with them from start to finish. They put in a lot of hard work into planning our perfect wedding. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was breath taking. Overall it was a fantastic weekend and everyone had a great time. A wedding for the record books for sure! It has been about 6 months now and our friends and family still talk about our beautiful wedding and we have Interlaken to thank.

at way to get into the spirit of the weekend and catch up with friends and family in a relaxed atmosphere. The next day our friends and family enjoyed the lake, swimming in the pool, golfing, etc. while we got ready for our ceremony. We were married by the lakeside and the setting was perfect and so memorable. After the ceremony we moved straight into our outdoor cocktail hour and then our reception in the pavilion. We finished the night with an after party at the bar at Morgan's restaurant. Everything was so conveniently located-it was so great not worrying about transportation and having everyone together for the whole weekend. The grounds and setting were just beautiful. Our accommodations and our guests' accommodations were perfect- big groups of friends stayed in the condos, we had the gorgeous honeymoon suite and other guests stayed in the main building. Our food at cocktail hour and during the reception was awesome- I know I'm biased but I think it was the best wedding food I've ever had. Brandon and his staff are excellent at what they do. And I can not say enough good things about working with Stephanie, the wedding coordinator. She is flexible, easy to work with, and efficient. We didn't have to worry about a thing knowing she was there to help. All in all it was an amazing experience for us and for our guests.

alking distance of the reception. The tent is beautiful and you are able to get creative and decorate it for whatever style fits you best. Brandon and Stephanie were amazing to work with. They know all the ins and outs of putting a wedding together. They gave us amazing tips including a bonfire the night before the wedding, opening the bar for a post-reception "hang-out", etc. They even provided resources for the church we ended up getting married at and the florist we chose to use. Beyond the Interlaken being absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and convenient for our guests, the service was impeccable. Guests of our wedding were raving about the food, both the food at the actual reception and the food served at brunch/in the restaurant. Guests also raved about the service during the reception. The wait staff was always there when you needed them. We had such an amazing experience here, we would suggest it to any couple looking for a relaxing, country, lakeside wedding. We plan to come back and stay a night for future anniversaries!

asy going. Stephanie and Brandon are not only made this weekend possible, they were fun to work with an extremely flexible. My guests still rave about how beautiful the entire event was, from the welcome bon fire, to the ceremony site, to the grounds in general. I literally could not have asked for a better team to work with or a better place to be surrounded by my friends and family for the best weekend of our lives! It felt like a weekend summer camp for adults! When the weekend was over, no one wanted to leave. As another reviewer said, go visit and eat at the restaurant!

nt. The day of the wedding went so smoothly, and we did not have to worry about a thing! Many of our guests are still commenting about how welcome they felt over the whole wedding weekend. If you are thinking about using this venue, I would definitely go visit and see how beautiful it is. Eat in the restaurant while you are there so you can see how delicious the food is as well!!

smoothly. We got rave reviews from our guests about the overnight accommodations and about the food. The crepe station (which was included at no extra cost!!) was a huge hit. We couldn't have been happier with our venue location and are planning on making a trip back for anniversary weekends.
