2 days left!

Just a friendly reminder that there are only two days left to make hotel reservations at the reduced rate. We have rooms at the Clarion Hotel in Northampton, 413-586-1211 and the Comfort Inn in Hadley, 413-584-9816. Ask for the Wretzel/Mason wedding to get the special rate!

What is a Charity Registry?

We have been asked this question quite a few times, so let us explain:

A charity registry is one in which a guest can give a gift of a donation to a chosen charity that the couple feels strongly about, instead of a more conventional registry where a guest can give a gift from a store to the bride and groom. Our charity registry is located in the same location as our gift registry to make it easier for everyone. Our registries are located at the I Do Foundation.

Hope that helps! We cannot wait to see everyone in only a few short weeks!

Restaurants in the Area

Northampton is a foodie's mecca. There are fabulous restaurants here, and we invite you to enjoy some of our favorites during the days before or after the wedding:

Apollo Grill (located in Easthampton, and where we went on our first date)
Osaka Restaurant
Viva Fresh Pasta Company
Paul and Elizabeth's
Sierra Grille
Esselon Cafe (Hadley)
Lhasa Cafe

We can't list every restaurant we adore here, there are too many good ones to choose from! Have a great time enjoying them yourselves!
