Josh and Candi McKerleyOriginally uploaded by darbyfieldinn.

Congratulations to Candi and Josh. They came to stay with us two days on an elopement package and were lucky enough to have both rain and sunshine on their wedding day! After a quick ceremony on the patio, they had a small reception in the tavern and headed up to Mt. Washington for the afternoon. They are a wonderful, personable couple and we wish them the best of luck!

It’s Official…Spring is here!Originally uploaded by darbyfieldinn.We never thought it would be here so soon, but all the snow has melted and the flowers and seasonal birds are back! This is the perfect time to visit us for spring hiking and/or relaxing in the peace and quiet. Our dining room is now open Thursday through Sunday, which is another cause for celebration! Try an old-fashioned carriage ride before dinner for a romantic addition. Check out our specials for other great reasons to stay with us…we look forward to seeing you soon!

Is it Spring Yet?Originally uploaded by darbyfieldinn.

Here is an example of Spring in New Hampshire. We received several inches of snow, pushing us ever nearer to breaking our 100 year record. While it has been a GREAT winter, we are all ready to run barefoot through green grass! Maybe in a couple of months…in the meantime sleigh rides are still going strong and the snowshoeing and x-country skiing conditions are fantastic!
The inn will be closed for mud season from April 6 through 17. Hopefully when we return there will be a little less of the white stuff. We are running some Super Spring Specials during April and May, so don’t forget to check out our website from time to time…

This young couple escaped for a white mountain elopement here and we all had the best time! They are originally from Texas and wanted to be married in the snow so off we tromped (Vera in her dress) to the top of the hill! The view was perfect - we couldnt have asked for any better. We hope to see them again before they head back down to Texas…We all wish you two all the best!

Originally uploaded by darbyfieldinn.Sleigh rides are back! We sent out our first few this past weekend…conditions are good, and should only get better as we’re expecting more snow this weekend! Spike is as magnificent as I remember him, and was completely enjoying himself! Remember, you don’t have to stay at the Inn to enjoy this winter treat; we offer dinner and a sleigh ride packages for 2 - 4 people…see you soon!

The First Snow of WInter 2007

Wow! We asked for it, we got it…8 - 12 inches of the white stuff fell this Monday, making for a nice start to the winter season. We have started sleigh rides here at the Inn and we’re getting ready to bring out the snowshoes and cross country skis, too. This weekend is also the famous Christmas Cookie Tour , which involves a lot of fun AND sugar.

The New Mr. and Mrs. StansfieldOriginally uploaded by darbyfieldinn. Ronald Stansfield and Maggie Darden travelled here from Rhode Island to tie the knot on our back patio, with family and her daughter witnessing the ceremony. We got some great photos, and they enjoyed the Shackford Suite, one of our deluxe rooms, and dinner later that evening. We wish them the best of luck and hope to see them for future anniversaries!

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. SagerOriginally uploaded by darbyfieldinn.

Meet Jennifer Brown and Eric Sager - they arrived as two people and left as a married couple. Jennifer thought she wanted to have her ceremony in our award-winning gardens, however, there were no pictures of them on our website. She was nervous until she saw that the flowers are truely beautiful! I chose this picture from their wedding because it’s a great shot of them, and also to show others that the garden is a wonderful backdrop! Jennifer, Eric and their friends were great and very patient with me, which I appreciate…we wish them all the best married life has to offer!

They Did It!Originally uploaded by darbyfieldinn.

Amee and Brian came to stay at the Darby Field Inn for their elopement. They exchanged their vows in front of innkeeper and justice of the peace, Marc Donaldson, and were very patient while I took tons of photos! They had a great time during their three days here, getting tandem massages before the ceremony, a champagne toast and dinner that evening. They were a very photogenic couple; you can view more of their pictures in the wedding section of our photo gallery on the main page of our website. Thank you for sharing, Amee and Brian, and we wish you two all the best!

Here Comes the Bride!Originally uploaded by darbyfieldinn.

Amy Elkes was married to Nathan Simon on June 2, 2006. We love hosting small weddings here at the Inn…Amy was a beautiful bride and Nathan a handsome groom! Their ceremony went off without a hitch, even though storm clouds forced us to move the wedding under a tent. Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Simon! We all wish you the best!
