Ok, so I think we found the place we're going to have the reception. It's called the Inn at the Round Barn. Here's a picture of it covered in snow - you'll have to close your eyes and imagine it blooming with flowers and lilac trees.
We love this place. It actually was used as a dairy barn a long time ago, and then they converted it to a beautiful Inn. You have to cross under a covered bridge to get to it (i love that!). It's surrounded by farms in a valley so when you look around you, all you see are gorgeous rolling fields and magnificent mountains.
Everything about this place is sweet and adorable. They even grow some of their own food that they serve at the reception, and they make their own ice cream.
There are 12 rooms at the Inn, and I want just our dear friends and bridal party to be with us. The only thing is that the rooms are NOT CHEAP to begin with, and because we're reserving all 12 rooms, they tack on a 15% service charge to all the rooms, per night. So now they all have to pay an extra $40 a night on an already expensive room.
The Inn is beautiful, don't get me wrong, but I don't think any room is worth $320 a night. And there's a 2-night minimum, so that means our guests will be paying $650 for the weekend.
And this is the ONLY bad thing about having our wedding here, so I guess we can live with it. Ahh!! Don't you think is outrageous? Or is this normal for Inns?

2Yes, they could def stay at a number of places. Only the bridal party and our close friends and fam are staying in the Inn with us, and everybody else is staying at other Inns or hotels.
I didn't mention this before, but that's the most expensive room. The other 8 rooms aren't as bad, but still about $200 a night. Yikes.
I think what we're going to do is set aside money each month for the next year and a half, so that we can help pay for the rooms. I'd feel too bad handing my friends the bill that weekend the way it is.
3Nice place.
4I think that would be a good idea beaner. It's getting crazy lately really with all these weekend weddings. I'm sure yours will be awesome and a happy occasion to remember.
