2. You can return, time and time again…
It is our experience that one of the biggest advantages of hosting your nuptials at a hotel venue is the fact you may return to relive your wedding day whenever you would like. Many couples spend their anniversaries staying at these hotels, making this their ‘special’ place. It is always heartwarming to see our couples return with their families too, sharing the memories and love that they made previously in these personable hotels.
3. Interior
Inn on the Lake and Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa are dedicated to creating a beautiful space for their couples. The company is devoted to continuously maintaining a modern and stylish interior, providing a perfect place to host your special day.

Furniture is readily available when you choose a hotel venue, there is no need to spend time and money organising hire of simple things such as tables and chairs like other venues may expect.
On that note, it is important to highlight that hotels will also provide linen, avoiding any nasty surprises in the form of linen hire fees.
4. All hotels have their own staff…
Hotels always provide their own staff, giving you peace of mind that you will have an experienced team on hand during your special day. At other venues, you may need to source these yourself which costs money and you run the risk of having staff working who don’t know the hotel.
5. Drinks
When you book a wedding package, you will often find that important drinks are included within the price e.g. welcome drink, drink for toast and wine for the tables. This is another hidden fee you may need to fork out for at other wedding venues that easily adds up…
6. Safety in all weathers.
Opting for a hotel wedding venue brings a notable advantage in ensuring a seamless celebration, particularly where the weather is concerned. Our hotels provide beautiful indoor locations to hold all aspects of your day, from getting ready to placing your head on a pillow when the day comes to an end. Having a reliable contingency plan will take a huge weight from your mind during the planning process, assuring you that your big day will proceed smoothly, rain or shine.
7. Convenience
Hotel wedding venues are convenient as they can be utilised in a variety of services under one roof such as the ceremony, reception, and accommodation. This eliminates the need for finding different available locations for each key event which also effectively cuts costs.
All food and catering are organised by the hotel – there is no need to spend an extravagant amount of money on caterers for day and night. Hotels will often invite you to come along for a tasting, so you know exactly what you are choosing when selecting your menu.
Given that accommodation is readily available onsite, you may also be able to reduce your ‘to do’ checklist and save money on organising guest transport.
