Where are you getting ready?

Hi Vanessa! You could look at other hotels close to your church to find a big suite or a conference room you can take over to get ready in!

You could also check out AirBnB & VRBO for places to rent, or see if anyone your family or bridal party can offer their home!

Thank you!

Having just got married last week ~ I would recommend either a private home like a family member or friend who lives near the church (where your arrival time isn't dictated by arrival/departure times at the hotel) OR a suite at a hotel near where you are getting married (book the night before AND the night of your wedding ~ because you want to GUARENTEE you will have your room for the entire time you need it).

The challenge with getting a conference room or something similar at a hotel is ~ it's just a room with tables & chairs (might not have a full length mirror OR good lighting for your hair/makeup people). We were "given" a "conference" room to use as a get ready room (our venue was a very nice hotel & they provided food/beverages reception & ceremony spaces) ~ after checking with my photographer who had done MANY weddings at the venue we decided my now husband could use that room & I would stay in the suite with my "girls" & get ready! Which was really the best option especially after I saw the conference space (my suite had a wet bar, living room, bedroom, 2 balconies & water views ~ he had a big space with a bunch of tables & chairs with 2 windows overlooking the parking lot).

Hi there!

Does your church offer any sort of space to utilize? Our church also owns a house right behind it that the priests use for meetings/ counseling's and such. My bridesmaids and I are able to utilize it the day of. I'm happy that I will be right on site so I don't have to rush around getting ready then making sure we get to the church on time.

Hope this helps!
