When it comes to weddings, nothing influences the vibes quite like your venue. Whether it’s intimate or grand, indoors or outdoors, formal or casual, the setting makes a huge impact on your event.
Hotel wedding venues are known for their ease and experience, with plenty of space, amenities, and staff to coordinate an unforgettable event.
At Rosen Weddings, we’re experts in hotel weddings. With four unique venues – Rosen Inn Lake Buena Vista, Rosen Plaza, Rosen Centre, and Rosen Shingle Creek – each with their own distinct amenities and aesthetics, hotel weddings are what we do best.
That’s why we’re here to share a variety of benefits to choosing a hotel for your special day. If you’re in the process of choosing your venue, here are four perks to hosting a hotel wedding we think you should know.
1. Convenience, Convenience, Convenience!
One of the biggest perks of hosting a hotel wedding is the convenience of having everything in one place.
All four of our venues offer the opportunity to rehearse your ceremony in the actual space (depending on availability) or provide an alternative space where you can run through everything prior to your wedding day.
Each of our properties also offers onsite dining and separate gathering rooms that are ideal for hosting an intimate (or extravagant) rehearsal dinner.
On the morning of your wedding, get ready with your bridal party in a designated hotel room that is private and comfortable.
Rosen Weddings properties have large hospitality suites that offer perks like more space, kitchenettes, mirrors, and private bathrooms to accommodate a larger group.
The ideal hotel venue will have multiple spaces for hosting ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions. Your guests will appreciate not having to travel from venue to venue, ensuring they can spend every moment in attendance celebrating you and your partner.
At the end of the night, retreat to a private hotel room with your new spouse for a luxurious and well-deserved night of rest following an unforgettable wedding day.
2. Accommodations for Your Guests
For wedding guests, there’s nothing better than having the option to stay onsite for a celebration.
When your accommodations for the night are only an elevator ride away, it can mean not having to choose between indulging in a signature cocktail or driving home later that night or having the luxury of running up to your room to change into better dancing shoes.
Many hotel venues will offer wedding couples a block of rooms at a reduced rate to incentive and reward guests for staying onsite.
It’s a great way to show your guests you appreciate their traveling to celebrate with you and encourage everyone to take advantage of the benefits of staying at the venue.
If you have a large number of guests traveling from out of town, consider the location and amenities of your hotel venue. Perks like a refreshing pool, rejuvenating spa, and delicious onsite dining offer convenience and entertainment without the need for rental cars or ride sharing.
Additionally, choosing a hotel in a popular area gives your guests the freedom to explore local attractions and restaurants during their stay.
3. In-House Catering and Event Equipment
If you’ve ever attended a wedding, you know firsthand the importance of good food – and plenty of it.
At Rosen Weddings, we offer our own in-house catering, culinary teams, and commercial kitchens that prepare menus to suit your tastes and delight you and your guests.
You won’t have to worry about finding proper preparation space for outside caterers or fretting over whether the team will arrive on time (and with enough food to keep everyone satisfied).
You can feel confident knowing your venue team has plenty of experience preparing delicious food for large groups.
We also have tables, chairs, bars, linens, and other event necessities on hand, eliminating the need to rent furniture from a third-party company.
Additionally, our incredible events team will be on deck to help set up your space so you and your guests can focus on getting yourselves ready, not the venue.
4. Beautiful Backdrops
Hotels are places of rest and respite, and the best ones have aesthetics that showcase a welcoming, unique, and stylish sense of hospitality.
Rosen hotel venues take pride in our spaces and keeping them updated, offering prospective couples a venue that is as beautiful as it is convenient.
Whether it’s an elegant ballroom space, a poolside patio, or a terrace with a sprawling golf course view, the right hotel venue will have beautiful event spaces that create a gorgeous backdrop for your picture-perfect wedding day.
