Another Use For The Bridal Suite At The Roxbury

Last time we heard from upstate New York's The Roxbury, they had recently unveiled "Amadeus' Bride," a dazzling, family-size bridal suite decorated in gold leaf and outfitted with a 200lb Austrian crystal chandelier. These people know how to put on a show.

So it didn't come as a surprise when they emailed us about their new Gay Elopement Package (The Roxbury is owned by a gay couple), an offshoot of the general Elopement Package which debuted this winter. It turns out co-owner Gregory Henderson is himself a wedding officiant, so this is a great option if you're actually ready to tie the knot. The full package includes a wedding officiant, complimentary bottle of champagne, two passes to the Shimmer Spa. Oh, and a custom monogrammed photo album wedding gift�interested now?

Henderson offered these cute words of encouragement to prospective groom-groom and bride-bride couples:

"It has been such an honor and a joy to be a part of so many marriage proposals and elopements at The Roxbury over the years. We hope there are many more to come. And now with the legalization of same sex marriage we are ecstatic to add gay couples to the mix. So if you like it, then you should put a ring on it at The Roxbury!"

Rates for the package start at $325, and go up to $425 when you book three nights or more. While Henderson's officiant services aren't included in the $325, they are automatically included in the $425 rate. And really, would you want to miss out on a custom monogrammed photo album that bears the following inscription: "A Celebration of the First Year, 2011 / Our Marriage in New York State / The Roxbury Motel"? We didn't think so.

And if that bridal suite manages to elude you, there's always the Shagadelic Room.
