For this type of wedding, receiving lines are most appropriate immediately following the ceremony. However, we would be happy to make accommodations if you desire it during the reception. Bands or DJ's usually entertain for four to five hours. When the music ends, it is usually the end of the reception.

We suggest that the wedding party, especially the bride and groom, arrive at the Inn the Thursday before the wedding weekend. This helps with last minute decisions and leads to a more relaxed tension-free weekend. It is nice to have a BBQ or rehearsal dinner here on Friday night. You may also choose to have your bride's maid luncheon here as well.

On Sunday we recommend you invite your guests back for brunch, this allows everyone to say goodbye and to see the wonderful gifts you have received. This is also a perfect opportunity to reminisce about your special day.

There is an abundance of things to explore in our area! Lakeville / Salisbury are quaint New England villages, and offer unique shops and galleries. Visit world-famous Harney Tea Company, or you and your guests may choose to take advantage of River Rafting on the Housatonic River, canoeing on Lake Wononscapomac, Antiquing, hiking on the Appalachian Trail, or just kicking back in an Adirondack chair beside our scenic lake with your favorite book.
