Tips On Wedding Guests Accommodation
In the past people, especially family and friends lived in close proximity
, not anymore in our modern society. This means that many of today's wedding guests have to travel some distance to attend a wedding. This means that a considerate bridal couple must consider accommodation of their guests when setting the wedding agenda. The best thing to do is to search for, shortlist, visit and making a booking of several blocks of rooms for the convenience of guests living out of town.
The couple can accomplish this by sketching a mileage circle with parameters set around the wedding venue. Once the couple decides how far they feel their guests can or may travel, they will need to determine what type of lodging or lodgings they will select. There are standard choices from which to pick like:
* Hotel
* Motel
*Resort
* Inn or retreat.
Next, the couple needs to determine what lodging of the type or types they have chosen is available within the mileage circle they have drawn. A map is the next tool they will need, with which they can find and list the towns and cities within the mileage circle.
Once the list is compiled, there are several resources they can use, such as telephone directories, local tourism guides, web sites on-line listings , on-line hotel chain web sites and directories. Managers of reception venues are always willing to provide the couple with a list of recommended lodging venues, which have already been screened.
It's best, once the list has been compiled, for the couple to visit the lodging sites. Arrangements for booking can be made when the couple do their visits, or after. Group sales managers are not always on-site to discuss details, so making appointments in advance of visiting would be wise.
Choosing a motel or hotel for wedding guest lodging has several advantages. Guests who stay at a national chain know what to expect and are assured that certain standards will be met. Such venues are usually full-service and include a restaurant, room service, a pool, game area, business center and exercises facility. Such amenities make lodging guests easier, because they can accommodate singles, couples and families. Hotels and motels can often provide connecting or adjoining rooms that are particularly convenient for families with children. Some also offer suites which can be used for before and after get-togethers.
If possible, it is best to offer guests several choices of lodging. Some people may not want to be where everyone is staying, while to some guests being with everyone may be a highlight of the event. For a 200-300 person wedding, setting aside a block of 30 hotel or motel rooms is sufficient, but, it is appropriate to also make an inexpensive' venue available for guests who have budget constraints.
A town lodging has the additional advantage being close to other wedding services such as hair and nail salons. That makes pre-wedding traveling easier. A Bed and breakfast offers personal touches to your guests and is more cozy than a big hotel. It provides family-type hospitality. The owner is the innkeeper and is usually on-site and actively involved.
