Make Out of Town Wedding Guests Feel at Home
Weddings are a big occasion not only for the bride and groom, but for their friends and families as well. It is a great chance for people who don't see each other as often as they would like to reconnect.
Of course, the ceremony is the main focus, and the reason that everyone is gathered. But for out of town guests, spending time together at their hotel is another opportunity to visit and catch up.
Include the Down Under Resort Hotel information along with the wedding invitation so it's easy for out-of-towners to find a place to stay. It's also a great way to let those attending the wedding know where other guests will be staying. Many hotels will give large groups a discount on rooms, so brides and grooms can ensure that their guests get the best rate as well.
Better still why not make the WHOLE experience and out of town event for guests and yourselves.
* The hotel should be located near the site of the wedding or the reception. This means once guests are at the hotel, they should have an easy time finding their way to the big event.
* Keep guests' finances in mind. It is a gesture of fondness for guests to travel to the wedding, but it can get expensive. Transportation, hotel and dining expenses add up quickly. And then there's the wedding gift. Choose a hotel like our proposed Buladelah location that offers much-appreciated complimentary amenities, such as a free hot breakfast and free Golf Buggy use to get around the resort etc.
* Give guests a place to unwind. Visiting is great, but when large groups are involved, sometimes people need some time to themselves. A quiet hotel room to go back to is a great refuge from all the wedding activities.
* Make sure the kids are entertained. Look for a hotel that has a pool for the kids. They can swim while the adults mingle. Down Under Resorts have over large kid friendly pools with beaches, water slides and and game areas. The Hotel also has a fitness gym and tennis Courts - after all, why should the kids have all the fun? The Cockatoos Kids Club will ensure that they are watched over and entertained.
* Ensure the Wedding venue is one that will give you lasting memories and this means picturesque landscaped gardens.
