Where does the groom get ready?

Ms.G2015, on March 1, 2015 at 5:30 AM Posted in Planning 0 13

If the venue doesn't have a Grooms suite for FH and his guys where is he supposed to get ready? Some venues I been to have rooms for the guys but some don't so should we book a hotel room for the guys and girls separately then take a limo to the venue after? We are having our ceremony there too.

    Our venue is a hotel, my FH is getting ready in the room his parents are staying in and I'm getting ready in a different room (the one we'll stay in the night of the wedding). Since we wanted pictures getting ready we wanted to be in the same location so our photographer could capture both of us getting ready. For my sister's wedding they had a bridal suite and then the guys just got changed in the bathroom. The bathroom didn't look that bad, but it definitely wasn't the best. So I'd recommend a hotel room if you can afford it.

    Our ceremony and reception are in the same location, separate from the hotel where we're getting ready. We have a conference room for the girls to get ready in. Most of our bridal party is from out of town so they will be staying there the night before and night of the wedding. We also have a room reserved for us for the wedding night. My FH will most likely hang out with his friends in one of their rooms in the afternoon, and then just get dressed there or in our room. We'll then take a limo to the venue.

    Our venue has a bridal party suite, but we can only get into the venue an hour 1/2 before the ceremony, so there's no way we could actually use that room to get ready in!

    My venue has a bride & groom suite. we have them for 3 hours before hand, but we are only using them for getting dressed & hanging out. our plan is, I stay home with the ladies, fh stays at fmil's with his brother/bm, in the morning the ladies will go get hair and makeup and such, then arrive at the venue at 3, go to our room & dress, dudes arrive at 3:30 and do the same, photog shows up at 4 and we get a buncha pics out of the way before our 6:00 ceremony.

    The guys are staying at our apt. He'll probably get ready there. They have a bachelor pad type place at the venue that he and the guys can hang in before the wedding.

    Our reception is at a hotel so we're both staying there the night before the wedding, in separate rooms. We'll both get ready there.

    My FH will likely get ready at my apartment and I will get ready at hotel directly next to ceremony and reception site. I did see a deal to get two suites instead of one for about $30 bucks more. I may opt for this instead; not sure to be honest. Either way I want to be at the hotel next to the venue.

    Our venue turns the "buffet room" into the "grooms' quarters" for getting ready. Guys don't need a fancy space, they just need some space to get ready and stuff...
