An event venue can make or break a wedding, especially when it comes to your guests’ experience.

You understandably want a beautiful space where you can bring your wedding day dreams to life and host the celebration of a lifetime, while your guests appreciate comfort and convenience.

A hotel wedding is the perfect compromise.

The right hotel can deliver everything you need to host an unforgettable event that you and your guests will love.

Still need a little persuading?

Here are the best hotel wedding perks that guests love.

 

Key Takeaways

 

On-Site Accommodations

One of the biggest benefits of having a hotel wedding is giving your guests peace of mind when it comes to where to stay.

Guests that choose to stay onsite don’t have to think about getting to the ceremony or back to their bed at the end of the night.

Out-of-town travelers won’t feel the need to budget for a rental car or ride share fees.

Plus, with a hotel room a mere elevator ride away, it’s easy to freshen up, change into a more comfortable pair of shoes, or even manage an unforeseen wardrobe malfunction.

And when the DJ has played the last song of the night, your guests can safely make their way to their room without worrying whether or not they should have had that final glass of Champagne.

 

Group Room Blocks & Discounted Rates

Typically, when you book your wedding at a hotel venue, you’ll be able to reserve a block of rooms at a discounted rate to extend to your guests.

Friends and family will love that they get to save money. Plus, booking accommodations from a room block ensures they’ll be close to friends and family who are also attending your event.

 

Multiple Event Spaces

Many hotel wedding venues have multiple event spaces, allowing you to host your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception without ever leaving the property.

You and your partner can save on the costs of providing transportation, and your guests can relax and enjoy the celebration knowing the next chapter of the evening is only steps away.

 

Welcome Bags

When you know where your guests are staying, you’re better able to spoil them with a little something special.

Welcome bags are the perfect way to greet friends and family.

Whether they receive it at the hotel check-in or discover their gift waiting for them in their room, a welcome bag makes a lovely first impression.

Include personalized goodies, helpful information, and travel must-haves for a thoughtful touch everyone will appreciate.

 

Hotel Amenities Between Events

While you may not have much downtime throughout your wedding weekend, your guests likely will.

Choosing to host your wedding at a hotel with a variety of onsite amenities gives your guests plenty of opportunities to entertain themselves.

Beautiful pools, well-equipped fitness centers, and in-house bars and lounges are all ideal for anyone looking to embrace the vacay vibes of your wedding weekend.

 

Welcome Reception and Farewell Brunch Options

In addition to your ceremony and reception, you may want to host a few events for out-of-town guests.

Most hotels can accommodate welcome receptions, rehearsal dinners, and farewell brunch gatherings, whether in comfortable meeting spaces or at onsite restaurants.

You and your partner will love having more time to connect with loved ones beyond the wedding itself, and so will your guests.

 

On-Site Spa

Who doesn’t love a little extra pampering?

An onsite spa is a wonderful amenity for guests traveling for a special event.

Sure, they can treat themselves to an indulgent massage, facial, or body treatment during downtime.

But it can also mean easy access to hair, makeup, and manicure services before a big event.

 

Customizable Catering Menus

When your hotel venue has a thriving onsite banquet and catering program, you can make the wedding menu of your dreams a reality.

Working with in-house caterers often means more flexible dining options that can accommodate not only personal taste and style, but also dietary restrictions and requests.

Plus, your catering team will know the ins and outs of their policies and procedures, meaning your event will be as smooth and seamless as possible.

 

Beautiful Backdrops for Photos

When it comes to weddings, aesthetics matter.

Luckily, when you pick the right hotel venue, you’ll have a variety of beautiful backdrops for stunning photos and portraits you’ll treasure forever.

Lush landscaping, tropical palm trees, ornate architecture, and water features can all enhance your wedding album – and can be found at all four Rosen Weddings hotel venues!
