Get comfortable and we will begin!
Advantages of celebrating a wedding at a hotel
Easy access
Hotels, because of their location, usually have easy access, something that pleases the guests, in terms of comfort and you, in terms of budget, because you won’t have to hire buses to transport them. This allows the guests to come and go from your wedding by public transport.
Variety of services
Hotels have numerous facilities in different styles that can be used in the wedding, which are extremely well taken care of and elegant and can be adapted to any needs.
For example, as well as interior rooms, many have beautiful gardens, rooftops, party rooms, chillout zones for the cocktail hour…
Furthermore, you should note that both a civil marriage and a Catholic wedding can be celebrated in a hotel, since there are hostels that have marvellous chapels inside to host the ceremony.
Accommodation for the couple and guests
An advantage that hotels offer is the possibility of accommodation in the same place as the wedding celebration. This is a huge plus for everyone.
For the couple because you can get ready comfortably and, furthermore, because many hotels usually gift a night stay for weddings of couples that decide to get married in their facilities. And for your guests, above all for those that live far away, because they can enjoy the wedding all night long without worrying.
You can prolong your stay
If yours is a destination wedding and you are travelling to get married in a hotel, another advantage of marrying there is that you and your guests can enjoy staying a few days more, before or after the wedding, being tourists and enjoying the city. Getting married and enjoying holidays is easy!
You have a plan B
Hotels are prepared to deal with all types of bad weather. This is why its facilities always have air conditioning, heating, and of course, marquees so that neither wind nor rain can destroy your big day.
Without forgetting, logically, the indoor rooms, that can host all the guests if it rains.
Whatever season of the year it is, a hotel is a safe bet!
First-class menus
Generally, the majority of hotels have a chef (on many occasions chefs of a certain notoriety) and a team that guarantees excellent food, since they have their own kitchen available. The hotel will offer different menu options so that you can choose the one that fits your taste.
The result in every case will be a great offer of high quality according to current trends: kitchen, avant-garde, traditional, fusion, independent, international, regional…
Packages that include various services
Some hotels offer packages that include different services for wedding parties. Furthermore, they offer the possibility of personalising services that will be offered at the wedding, like the dessert table, or open bar. However, it is necessary that you know the terms and conditions of each hotel, because some have very strict rules.
Everything in the same palace
The fact that everything is found in the same palace (ceremony, banquet, party hall, accommodation) means that the couple and guests can avoid transport and can drink alcohol without having to worry. Furthermore, hotels usually have locations close to cities, which is always easier if they need something last minute.
There are few disadvantages, but we will tell you them here so that you have all the information tied together.
Disadvantages of celebrating a wedding at a hotel
Privacy is lost
Yes, in many cases privacy is lost because the hotel can’t close common zones just for you and your guests.
If, for example, you want to celebrate the ceremony by the hotel pool, it is possible that you will find other clients in swimsuits, dipping into the pool and commenting on everything about your wedding. Even more than one curious look will be seen from the balcony of the rooms. Maybe even more than one will take a photo to capture the moment.
Time restrictions
Timings for weddings can be restricted in hotels. Normally, the time of ending the open bar is early, so as not to annoy the guests of the hotel. And, another thing, they can be subject to the local noise rules, if the celebration is in the garden or terrace of the hotel.
Fixed vendors
There are many hotels that have exclusive deals with certain vendors for weddings, whether that be the decorators, florists, etc. which means you won’t have total freedom to select each provider for your wedding: ceremony officiant, live musicians, florists, Dj… the good thing is that they are usually chosen in a careful way so that you will have the result you have always dreamed of.
As you can see, there are more advantages than disadvantages, so this is why we encourage you to celebrate your wedding at a hotel and leave all your guests gobsmacked with the experience that they are going to have.
