Hello!
Getting married in a little over a year. The venue does not have any accommodation apart from a honeymoon suite the night of the wedding. However we can use their bridal suite from 8:15 to get ready.
My dilemma is this… I live just over an hour away from the venue so it will be a lot easier for us to be closer on the day. I was thinking of renting a house/air bnb close to the venue, but I can’t find anywhere big enough that is within 30 minutes. They mostly all just have 3 bedrooms and sleep 6 but I have 8 people in my bridal party. The other option is to just find a hotel nearby.. there are a few but they are all over 20 minutes away still.
I was wondering if anyone has experience of getting married and staying in a hotel the night before. Due to the size of my wedding party we would need to start getting ready at like 6:30/7am but my venue doesn’t let us use the room until 8:15. Would we be better not using the venue at all and just getting ready at the hotel? If so, I feel like I would then need to hire wedding cars because I can’t exactly get a taxi can I in my dress wjth everyone? And because I’m staying at the venue the night of the wedding, I would have to bring my bag and all of my belongings with me in the car.
I was thinking of maybe just doing hair and make up at the hotel and then all getting a taxi together to the venue to finish off getting dressed but this might be too much faffing around and having to transport my dress in the taxi. I just don’t know how to work it, can anyone help?
