Hi all, I was hoping to get other peoples thoughts/advice on what they had done about this. Or maybe you’ve been a guest in this situation and have some advice on what worked best.
So we’re getting married & having the reception all in one place. The venue has 10 double bedrooms which we can allocate out to our nearest & dearest, but also we don’t have to use all of if we don’t want to. We were then going to put a coach on to a nearby hotel for any remaining guests at the end of the night (total number of guests is about 50, so it would be 30 or less than for the coach). Its more of a destination wedding so most people will want to stay based on indication so far.
My practical side wasn’t sure what to do though about them checking into this other hotel. The check-in time isn’t till the 2nd half of our cocktail reception, so people will have started drinking by then so driving may be out, and also the morning after do we put a coach on to bring them back to get their cars? Just thinking that’s 3 coaches instead of 1, so more money, but would that be the best thing to do?
As it’s a destination wedding the hotel is about 15-20 min drive from the wedding venue, as that’s one of the ones large enough & close enough for this kind of thing. There’s other hotels closer to the venue but they won’t have enough rooms for everyone.
Anyone got any practical thoughts on this please? Or had to do something similar?
Thank you 😊
