Hotel
In preparation for our out of town guests, we have blocked rooms at The Inn at Leola Village in Leola, Pennsylvania. This is about a 10-15 minute drive from the wedding venue.
There are 3 different room types available:
- A coach or club room is $139.95 per night and have either 2 queen beds or 1 king bed.
- Parlor suites have an additional living room and are $159.95 per night. Bedrooms have either 2 queen beds or 1 king bed. Some of the parlor rooms with king beds have a pull out sofa that sleeps two.
- For those wanting a luxury suite, whirlpool suites are available for $219.00 and have one king bed - no pull out sofas.
I encourage you to make your reservation as soon as possible. We have blocked 35 rooms but the room types are reserved on a first come, first serve basis. There is a limited number of rooms at each price level! The hotel will release any unreserved rooms two months before the wedding and you have up until 72 hours before the reservation date to cancel without charge. You can make your reservation by calling toll free at 1-877-669-5094 or you can contact me for the online code to make reservations online!
Other Hotels
Unfortunately, hotel availability was very limited due to a convention the week of the wedding for the Voice of the Apostles (involving about 8,000 people!) If you are interested in booking in a different hotel, rooms may still be available on an individual basis but blocks of rooms were not available! You are more than welcome to call the Courtyard Marriott (Hospitality Drive) or Hampton Inn (Greenfield Road) if you want!

Lancaster Overnight Getaway Guide - Wake up in Lancaster County 2012! This is a pretty awesome, and free, travel guide for Lancaster tourism.
Shopping!! First of all, The Park City Mall is about 10 minutes away. There are also outlets nearby including Tanger Outlets and Rockvale Outlets.
Attractions. Dutch Wonderland is a great amusement park located in Lancaster for younger children with Duke the Dragon as its mascot! One of my favorites, Hersheypark is located in Hershey and is only about an hour away. Along with the park, you can visit Chocolate World, The Hershey Story museum, Hershey Gardens, and drive down Chocolate Avenue in front of the original Hershey Factory! I definitely suggest taking advantage of Hersheypark in the Dark if you venture out to Hershey for a visit. For some relaxation, you can indulge yourself at the Spa at The Hotel Hershey with treatments like the Whipped Cocoa Bath, Chocolate Bean Polish, and the Chocolate Fondue Wrap! Can you tell I love Hershey?? I mean, it is the "Sweetest Place on Earth"!
Restaurants. Bube's Brewery is located in Mount Joy, about 20 minutes away, but it is well worth a visit. It is an intact historic 19th century brewery and museum complex! Their beautiful Biergarten is open through October. At the Lancaster Brewing Company, you can enjoy Lancaster's freshest, handcrafted beers while dining in a working brewery. Iron Hill Brewery is located just outside of Lancaster City - very covenient location with plenty of parking. There are also a number of pizza places located throughout Lancaster and of course Lancaster City itself is full of a variety of restaurants and cafes. Just be careful - Lancaster City will be pretty busy the week leading up to our wedding due to an event they are hosting!
