How upset would you be?

Kristen, on November 1, 2019 at 6:06 PM Posted in Planning 0 8
Hi everyone, I am eight days away from my wedding and I got a call from the venue which is a hotel today while I was at my hair trial, saying that they will be doing renovations on the floor where the bridal suite is and they are beautiful picture window is and therefore I will not be able to have the bridal suite or be able to take pictures in front of the window. I had booked the bridal suite for the entire weekend so that my girls And I would have the space to enjoy ourselves And relax. I also had booked the connecting room so that we would have two bathrooms to use to get ready and even more space. So I’m losing a full kitchen dining room and extra bathroom and they are offering me a board room which has a conference table and chairs for us to get ready in. They have also offered me a suite at their sister hotel down the street and offered to shuttle us back-and-forth. I just had so many plans for the bridal suite that a board room cannot accommodate. Just not sure what to do… Like I wasn’t already stressing about other things! How upset would you be at this change?

    I'd be furious! I understand (would still be upset) if it was like a mandatory project because of something serious but renovations usually aren't mandatory and can be pushed back. Especially considering you've booked way in advance I don't see why they just couldn't wait until after your event. Did they say what the renovations were for?

    Is the sister hotel far? Could you use the bridal suite in the sister hotel? I share your same concerns, and I'd prefer to be in a bridal suite at the sister hotel and not a board room with janky lighting. If they can give you exactly what you wanted in the sister hotel I don't see why you guys can't shuttle - that's what my FH's step-sister did for hers. You'll just need to make sure you check times between the two hotels and to make sure you start a bit ahead of schedule so you get there on time. Good luck!

    They didn’t say. I’m beside myself right now because of all I had planned for the suite. I just can’t believe they didn’t know there would be renovations being done ...

    Yes there is a sister hotel they offered to shuttle me to and from but I didn’t want to be in two locations. My fiancé is in the military and he has soldiers coming from out of state we didn’t want to be in two separate hotels…

    If they are offering the sister hotel, and are covering the transportation since this totally inconveniences you, I would take that.

    I know you must be heartbroken over this. But you've got to go to Plan B. I think that's the least they can do. It's better than a boardroom!

    It sucks for sure! Take their offer for plan B and let it go.
    But accept this as the first of many things that will go wrong. It will all be ok. At the end of the day you’ll be married.
    It will be ok if you have to sleep in a different hotel. You can hang out with your guests up until it is time to go to bed.
    Breathe. It WILL be ok. The entire last week before my wedding was horrible, I didn’t sleep, things went wrong, flowers died, my school went on lock down Thursday night and i couldn’t leave after school with a mile long list of things to still do. It was a mess! but Saturday came and None of mattered one bit.

    I'd be livid. Renovations don't just pop up, they require planning. Did they know they were doing them when you booked the hotel? I would be BEYOND angry

    I would be upset too! I would ask for some money back since they didn't warn you ahead of time
