Accommodations for Remote Venues on Wedding Website

Official Mrs.K, on November 30, 2018 at 3:31 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 6

I found a beautiful venue for my wedding that is on the outskirts of town. While the remote(ish) location lends to beautiful scenery it also unfortunately means there are no hotels nearby. The venue recommends a Springhill Suites Marriott that is about 25 minutes away and I booked a hotel block through them as an option for our guests. I also ended up finding an amazing cottage on Airbnb that is just down the street from my venue that my FH and I will stay in the night of the wedding. I want to make sure my guest know that there are other non-hotel options and I am trying to figure out how to word this on my wedding website. Have any of you done this? Do you have wording I can "borrow"? So far I am planning to list the hotel block first and then afterward was thinking of the following:

VRBO or Airbnb

Mt Woodson Castle is located approximately 25 minutes away from the closest hotel so another accommodation alternative would be locating a property on VRBO or Airbnb.

Then I would list the websites for each company. Does this sound ok or does someone else have a recommendation for something better? If it matters I am using Minted for my wedding website... Thanks everyone!!

    Your wording sounds great! My venue is also a bit out of town (about 20 minutes from the hotel's we've blocked so we'll be providing transportation.) Here's my wording for airbnb

    Hey FutureMrs.K!

    I think your wording sounds great!!

    Here's another suggestion if you did want to mix up the wording -

    Mt. Woodson Castle is located approximately 25 minutes away from the closest hotel. For alternative accommodations, check out rental properties on VRBO or Airbnb.

    Maybe then you could provide a link to Airbnb and VRBO rental properties in the general area where your ceremony is! Something like this, maybe:

    Airbnb Properties Near Mt. Woodson Castle

    That way you guests can quickly pop on over to those sites to check out lodging and don't have to put the location info in - it will already be done for them Smiley smile

    Are you offering transportation from your wedding block to the venue? If you are not I would make that very clear. I always book at the hotel wedding block because it means transportation, but if that isn't the case - especially with the hotel being so far away - guests need to know so they can make appropriate decisions about getting the hotel and/or coming to the wedding.

    Good point. I haven’t fully decided if we will provide transportation or not. The hotel charges $1,000 for their shuttle and I am not expecting that many people to stay there (most of our guests are local). I’ve also considered doing an Uber event code but since my venue is on the outskirts of town I am not sure if there will be Uber’s around after the wedding. Regardless of what I decide I will make sure to mention it so there are no assumptions.
