Both Bride and Groom In The Same Hotel???

Hi Brides, I'm currently looking into booking our sleep accommodations for the night before the wedding and the night of the wedding. I found a hotel that offers all suites that include one or two bedrooms with a separate sitting room and kitchenette. I would love for everyone to all be at the same hotel. Both us ladies and the fellas. Should I book this hotel for myself and the bridesmaids and book a separate hotel for my groom and groomsmen? Or should both of us stay at this hotel and make sure to be separate until we leave for the wedding? It'll be easier for the photographer, videographer, and family to just be able to get on the elevator and go to our different rooms to be close to each other.

    Hi Amanda! I think I'm going to go ahead and book the same hotel for both of us. It'll make it easier for everyone.

    Thanks Concetta! Yes! It will definitely make it easier for our vip family members, photographer, and videographer, to go back and forth between hotel rooms instead of traveling to another one.

    My FH and I will most likely be at the same hotel along w/ the family since our venue is an All-Inclusive facility. What I will ask for however is that we stay on opposite ends and floors of the hotel, and i will ensure that we coordinate me leaving "after" he is already downstairs and in the ballroom. Plus our facility has a "holding" space for the bridal party until it is time for them/her to line up.

    Hi Latonya! Thanks so much! Our venue has two suites. One for the bride and one for the groom. This is perfect for what you are referring to.

    Hey Dana! Lol, we made a decision that we are staying at the same hotel. I have self control to stay in my hotel room even if FH doesn't. Lol. I'll be so wrapped up making sure everybody is in line and doing what they are supposed to be doing, I'll even forget we're at the same hotel. Lol

    I think it's completely up to you and your budget.

    Hi Traci! I was thinking the same thing. I will probably request that the hotel has us on separate sides or separate floors

    Is it in the budget to book 3 rooms? One for your girls and getting ready, one for the fellas and then one untouched room for you two the night of...we're doing the same hotel but requesting separate floors. I think that keeps it super easy for everyone, just coordinate leaving out times. All 3 rooms can be booked for different floors so you won't see each other and then y'all can have privacy away from everyone the night of!

    If you do not want to stay together the evening before, or see each other the day of, I still think the same hotel with different rooms would be just fine! Also consider the night of the wedding, will you only book one room for the night before and the other room for the night before + night of? Or will you book two basic rooms for the night before and upgrade to a larger suite for the wedding night? You have lots of options here, but I do agree, one hotel should be just fine Smiley smile

    Hi Michelle! That's not a bad idea! I'll have to reach out to the hotel and see if booking 3 rooms would still be within our budget. 2 rooms is definitely in our budget

    Thank you Katie! We were going to book two rooms. Both rooms for the night before and the night of the wedding. I will be staying alone in the king suite on the night before, the girls will come to my room and get ready, and make sure they grab all their belongings since this will also be the room FH and I will be in on our wedding night.

    We rented a house for the whole weekend, and the entire bridal party is staying. We think the tradition of separate places is totally impractical, but it’s really up to you. Or bridal parties will get tray on separate floors, and yours will have separate rooms, I’m sure. My fiancé and I are probably staying in the same room the night before too. If you really want that surprise element and you get something or of keeping everyone separate, then go for it, but there’s really no need to. Traditions only make sense if you find value in them. Otherwise, they are silly.

    I think it's actually best to be in the same hotel for the photographer/videographer as well as for organizing transport. We'll definitely book ourselves into the same place and actually I don't want to sleep separate the night before. Smiley xd I know I would get super nervous and not sleep if I did!

    But maybe as for the room that you'll be going back to after the wedding, you should ask for it to be separate from guests and family so you don't have any unsolicited visitors. Smiley tongue
