Choosing Your wedding Hotel Host 6 Things Every Bride Should Look For

A personalized booking link is a game-changer when it comes to coordinating accommodations for your wedding guests. It streamlines the booking process by offering pre-selected room options, special group rates, and easy access to all the important detail. This convenient link also helps you communicate key wedding information directly to your guests. It’s a small but impactful touch that makes the whole experience smoother for both you and your guests.

Some hotels (ahem.. you’re looking at one of them) have great amenities that couples can receive just for blocking rooms. With hotel rates on the rise, hoteliers are finding interesting ways to sweeten the deal. Complimentary suites for the couple, complimentary upgrades for parents, even a signature gift, just to name a few!

Check to see if your hotel has the right space to get you ready. We’ve found that many venues have very limited space or may not allow couples to access their suites until right before their ceremony begins. This leaves many couples looking for a large enough space to accommodate hair and makeup for the bridal party. Some hotels may have a designated space, such as a Hospitality Lounge, specifically for this purpose, but there may be limited quantities, so don’t forget to ask!

Finding a hotel that is not just the perfect place to get ready but also an ideal setting for these iconic photos will save you so much time and energy. Whether you're capturing the emotional first look, gathering your bridal party for a group shot, or sharing a quiet moment with your partner, look for a hotel that can provide versatile spaces to make your wedding photos truly unforgettable. 

Sometimes, you just don’t want the celebration to end. When choosing your host hotel, be sure to ask about their hotel bar as a spot for after-party fun and drinks. Hosting your post-wedding festivities at the hotel offers the convenience of having your guests just steps away from their rooms when it’s time to call it a night—no need for anyone to travel or leave the party early.

With all the movement and planning that a wedding requires, many couples prefer to host events such as rehearsal dinners and farewell brunches at the same location where guests are staying. This allows your guests the convenience of remaining at the hotel for pre- and post-wedding activities and will help limit the need for transportation.
