Wayside Inn - brides or guests - invite wording Q

I'm working on invitation wording and I can't decide what the appropriate way to do the locations would be for our Wayside Inn wedding so I'm looking for advice from others who have sent or received invitations to weddings there.  We are having our ceremony in the chapel and reception in the main dining room.

First Q: should it be "The Wayside Inn" or "Longfellow's Wayside Inn" - I'm leaning towards the latter as that appears to be the formal venue name...but nobody seems to actually call it that.

Second Q: should I note the location as just the inn (whichever version) since both events are there, or do I list the wedding as "Martha-Mary Chapel" with a "reception to follow at [whichever version of the inn name]" -- this feels a little odd since the chapel is part of the Wayside Inn?

I have the specifics of what is happening where at what time on our website, I'm just a little confused about what to put on the formal invitations.

What have others done/seen?

Thanks!

    Hmmm... not sure but I am thinking that when I go to a wedding, I usually just bring the invitation.  So I wouldn't really remember what was on the website.  Therefore, I'd get to the inn and be very confused as to where the ceremony actually was.  And I'd probalby be late, so I'd be stressed.

    So:  I might indicate on the invitation that the ceremony is at the Marth Mary Chapel and the reception is that the inn.  That's specific and least likely to confuse unorganized guests like me.  :)

    PS.  I went to a ceremony at MM Chapel and it was SO pretty!  The reception was elsewhere, but I *loved* that chapel!  Congrats!
