Hotel wedding inspiration: décor ideas and planning tips

Hotels are a great option for weddings! If this type of venue is on your short list, here are a few things to consider.

Ask to see all ceremony/reception options available at the hotel. Sometimes there are more unique ideas than a ballroom. A garden, perhaps? Something on the roof? Or maybe a sunny lobby area?
Work with the hotel to secure a block of rooms for your guests and inquire about and deals they might have because you’re hosting your event there.
Know that you may need some extra décor to truly make the space your own. Vinyl floor runners/dance floors can really make a difference. Also, put flowers on anything and everything!
Discuss your preferred vendors with your contact at the hotel, making sure the hotel isn’t exclusive with certain vendors.
Ask if there are other major events on the night of your wedding. Conventions, for example, can put a strain on hotel resources.
Book the hotel restaurant, if possible, for a morning-after brunch.
Indulge in a suite! This is your wedding day. Book a great room for you and your partner to enjoy for a day or two after the wedding.
