Guest Accommodations
The important thing to remember is that guests pay for their own rooms, but some planning on your part can get them affordable prices. It’s never too early to start shopping for suitable wedding guest accommodations for your out-of-town guests especially if it falls on or near a major holiday. You have an obligation to make your out-of-town guests as comfortable as possible. They’re coming a long way to share your celebration with you. By taking a little time and effort to get them the best possible wedding guest accommodations, you assure that their memories of your wedding will be as wonderful as yours.
Your priorities should be location, cost and services. Most guests prefer lodging that’s close to the airport and the wedding sites. Booking wedding guest accommodations in the same hotel where you’ll hold your reception is especially convenient for guests without access to their own transportation. Plus you have the leverage of contract that you are entering into to get the best price possible. There are several factors that affect room rates, including season or time of year, where and when your wedding takes place, and the number of competing area hotels. Many hotels offer special packages and discount blocks of rooms. Pre-booking rooms should guarantee availability and prices.
Many hotels find that July, August and November, are less popular and, as a result, make better offers. But lodging is in such demand during June and December that discounts often are smaller. Keep your guests’ financial situations in mind when making your wedding guest accommodations. The arrangements you make are an option, not a requirement, for your guests. If you can’t find a site that’s ideal for all of them, reserve rooms at two different sites and allow them to choose.
Welcome your out-of-town guests, even if you can’t do it in person. Have a welcoming gesture – floral arrangement, fruit basket or other treat – placed in their rooms. Provide brochures and information about local sights and attractions, as well as details about wedding events and their locations. Attach a list of other wedding guests staying at the same site. This encourages get-togethers, can help break the ice and can transform an unfamiliar setting into something more pleasurable.
