We've reserved a room block at the Radisson Hotel in Corning. It's centrally located to the church, reception hall, Tackett house, and just about everything; plus, it's nice place.

The room block is available until September 1st. You can make reservations by phone at 800-333-3333, or on their website, www.radisson.com/corningny. Request the Tackett/Heskestad wedding. If you use the website, you'll need the promotional code THWR6 when prompted.

My understanding is that there are two options for rooms:
1) "Sleep Number" Room with one adjustable super-bed at $114/night.
2) Standard Guest Room with either two full or queen beds at $104/night.
