We're very lucky that our reception venue is near hotels! There's a silver cloud inn right across the street from our venue! We have so many options, including booking other hotels (less than half a mile away) for our guests. I think right now we're trying to figure out if we should stay at the hotel (silver cloud inn) across the street or go to a "bigger" one that's less than half a mile away) that are much newer (staybridge suites and "evan" hotels, if you've heard of them).
If I were to stay at a hotel the night before, I would be with my sister (moh) and tell the other bridesmaids the hotel we're staying at. That way, they can book and just go to our room when hair/makeup are in action. Fiancé will stay at the same hotel the night before and the night of, I can just move and stay in that room. (Parents wanted him to stay in their timeshare that is a couple blocks away but I don't think that's a good idea. Too far).
I haven't figured out the transportation yet. I'm not too fond of a limo but maybe thinking of either taking an uber to to the church or maybe just have them drive with their spouses/families. That night, husband and I will move into our own room the night or the wedding Any suggestions?
I'd be needing advice with:
- hotel: stay at the one across the street (where guests would go) OR stay at the other hotels that are bigger (other guests may stay there too) Does it matter? or am i missing something?
Also, I think the hotel across the street has a free shuttle service.
- transportation: not liking the limo idea and usually not necessary. I've seen bridesmaids just drive themselves to the church and back, etc.. would it be best to just have them drive with their spouses/families to the church themselves (when we all go together) or maybe have an uber for a big van?
