Destination Wedding, Different Rooms before wedding night?

Hi everyone! This may come out a little convoluted and confusing so I apologize in advance!


So my FH and I are getting married October of 2021 in Vegas (I know where your minds automatically go - drive thru chapel with Elvis officiating - but we actually found a gorgeous venue just off the strip that is not what you'd expect!). Anyways, the ceremony will be on a Friday and we plan on going up several days early to have our bachelor/bachelorette parties and potentially a rehearsal dinner. We definitely want to do the whole "sleep in different places the night before, not see each other the day of, etc." but I'm having some trouble figuring out logistics!


We'll stay in one hotel for the first 2 nights, then the night before the wedding I'll be staying somewhere with my bridesmaids/some family. But how do we transition to the wedding night suite? We want to get a nice suite at the Bellagio, but we would only be there the one night. We will be flying out on our honeymoon VERY EARLY the next morning.


So the problem is, how do we check in to the wedding night suite and get all of our luggage/honeymoon stuff to the room? I don't want to have to worry about it on the day of our wedding, there will be so much going on, and I don't feel like I can ask any of my family to do it because check in usually isn't until 4pm and our ceremony starts at 5:30pm.


Does any of this make sense to someone who can lend some advice? Please help!

    Hey Brittnee, so I have two ideas that might work for you.

    Idea 1: See if the hotel can do early check in prior to getting ready, or a virtual check in (where you don't actually have to be there) then see if someone (MOB, Groommens, godfather etc,) would be able to bring the luggage to your room prior to the ceremony. Hotels can be pretty accommodating if you tell them its for your wedding, but I will think it will depend on the date and how many of your desired suites they have.

    Idea 2: It might not be the most cost affective option, but see if you can rent the suite for the night before and the night of your wedding. Then if you are doing separate sleeping arrangements, then either your fiancé or you and your loved ones can spend the night there. For Example: You spending the night there, and the groom is in a different room. Have the groom leave everything but a special bag of all of his getting ready for the wedding stuff in the suite so it is all ready to go for your early honeymoon departure.

    Rent the suite for the night before and the night of the wedding. Get ready there and you won’t have to worry about transporting your belongings or checking in the day of the wedding.

    The virtual check-in is a great idea, I didn't even think of that! I'll definitely look into it, thank you for that info!

    I know that seems to be the most obvious solution but ideally we'd like to figure out a way to not have the room for an additional night. We'd hope to stay in the special wedding night suite for the first time together, etc. but I guess we're going to have to think about doing that instead.

    Leave your bags at the bell desk that morning (or prior evening) and check in together as a couple when you return from your wedding/reception.

    I agree with this. We are having our vow renewed at our 25th wedding anniversary, and will be in separate hotel (Hawaii) from landing until we have our ceremony. I will check in and stay the night alone at my chosen resort the day before the wedding with all my wedding stuff and some of dh stuff, and after the ceremony my dh will stay together with me for a few days. We are having our 1st honeymoon ever that week. I know it’s an extra few hundreds dollar but it will give a peace of mind, and I will relaaaaaax 🤪

    You may have to ask your family or bridal party to transport the luggage for you

    Most hotels allow you to brig your luggage in early, especially in Vegas! Many of their hotels allow luggage to be dropped off both before and after check out because they know how flights are etc
