Things to Consider When Choosing a Hotel

Finding the right hotel for you and your guests is about more than just the room rate. Here are a few things worth asking before you book:

  • Are there deposits or attrition fees? Find out whether the hotel requires a deposit or charges an attrition fee if your room block isn’t filled.

  • Where can you have your first look? If you’re planning a first look, ask what spaces or locations the hotel has available for that special moment.

  • Is there a space to get ready? Ask whether a suite or larger room is available for you and your wedding party to comfortably get ready together.

  • Are there fees for welcome bags? Some hotels charge a fee to deliver gift or welcome bags to guests’ rooms, so be sure to ask ahead of time.

  • What are your transportation options? Does the hotel offer a shuttle or have recommendations for getting to and from Loft on Lake? If not, let us know—we’ve got you!

  • Can you offer multiple hotel options? You don’t have to put everyone in the same hotel. Consider offering your guests a higher-end option alongside a more budget-friendly choice.

  • Is the hotel pet-friendly? If your furry family member is making an appearance at your wedding, be sure to check the hotel’s pet policy before booking.

Speaking of pets…

Consider hiring a pet attendant to be your dog’s (or other VIP pet’s!) plus-one for the day. They can handle transportation, walks, feeding, bathroom breaks, and keeping your pet comfortable before, during, and after the ceremony—so you can focus on celebrating.
