Settle the debate: Getting ready in different locations

If you're having a photographer for getting ready sort of pics I think it would be more beneficial to have them at the same place!
H and I got ready at the hotel, down the hall from each other. But they left before us so he didn't run into me until the 1st look photo

When friends of mine were married, their venue had both a dedicated bridal suite and groom's room. The bride started HAMU at the hotel and finished getting dressed at the venue. The groom got fully ready at the hotel and he hung out in the spare room for a few minutes before the ceremony.

I don’t think it’s weird & any location could work.
FH & I are both getting ready in the venue suite (they also have a bridal & groomsmen suite). The bridal party is going to start getting ready much earlier than the grooms party, as the hair & makeup ladies will arrive @ 7 am, the guys will probably show up at like 8:30 am lol

It’s whatever you feel most comfortable with, there’s no right or wrong! My husband and I got ready in two adjacent houses on the same property. My bridesmaids helped make sure he didn’t see me if I needed to walk somewhere.

I don’t think it’s weird at all, just make sure your photographer knows what you want. FH and I are just going to get ready together, there’s no right or wrong way.

It’s his wedding too. It’s selfish to expect to have the entire area, including the space that’s literally dedicated to him, to yourself.

I don’t think it’s weird. We both got ready at the hotel indifferent rooms for our destination wedding and it was fine. I didn’t see him all day.

I think at the end of the day it doesn't really matter as long as you're both comfortable where you're at and there's enough room for everyone to get ready in.

I also don't think it's weird to be in close proximity!

I agree with this. OP, it is not fair to keep him from using this space dedicated to him. It's his wedding too. My DH and I got married in the same place. I got ready in the bridal suite at the hotel and he got ready in the honeymoon suite.

The wedding isn’t just for the bride. The groom has to be involved too. He has groomsmen. They deserve their own place to get ready as well. You get a space, he gets a space. You cannot make your wedding about just 1 part of the couple. My fiancé and I are going to get ready in our apartment but different rooms and then drive to our ceremony.

I think getting ready at different places is totally ok, but I also think that down the hall is different enough. Being closer together would help with getting ready photos and general coordination. If it were me, I'd offer that space to him, but if he'd prefer to get ready at home or somewhere else, that's fine too.

I think it's inefficient and impractical to get ready in two different locations if you don't have to. He's in his own room, if he wants to ready in there let him do it.
Also being further away makes him at risk for being late, I wouldn't want to gamble with that if I didn't have to.
