If you fall into this category then you could be in luck, although you should always:
1. Ask to see the rooms first, and if possible, the actual room that you will stay in.
2. Ask if they have any ‘superior’ rooms or a Bridal Suite. However, do not assume that you will get anything other than a basic room – you may have to pay a fee to be upgraded to such a room or it may be that the room(s) are already booked. Be sure to confirm this up front.
3. Ask how many other rooms are available on your Wedding Day and how many can be reserved for your friends and family (if there is another Wedding on the same day as yours, the allocation may be split).
If after asking the above questions, you get the answers you wanted, then ‘Bob’s your Uncle’ – go ahead and make the reservation. However, if accommodation on-site is not offered, or you are not happy with what you are told then don’t despair, you do have other options.
The most obvious option is to book a room elsewhere. Perhaps there is a fantastic place to stay nearby that would be ideal for the night, but was perhaps too small or could not cater for your Wedding requirements - if you know of such a place then go ahead and book up as soon as possible. However, if you don’t know of somewhere off-hand it’s time to do some research and you should try to track somewhere down that meets at least some of the criteria outlined below:
· Is near to where your Reception is taking place so you won’t have too long a journey.
· Does it allow you to check in/arrive in the early hours of the morning.
· Does it have other rooms available (essential if you want your close friends and family to stay also).
· Has it taken any bookings already from a couple you’ve invited to your Wedding ‘because you didn’t have a choice’ – do you really want to have breakfast with them the next morning?
· Can it offer you a ‘Bridal Package’ (fresh fruit and champagne in your room for example) or perhaps even a free upgrade.
