You have found your venue and settled on a date. Now it's time to find out where everyone is going to stay. The Missouri Wedding Accommodations Guide will help you find rooms for all your guests on the big day. Helpful links and tips makes find rooms for all budget an easy part of your wedding planning.
Bridal couples are not responsible for the rooms of their guests, but it is a thoughtful gesture to supply local information to those who will be traveling. It is considered a traditional expense of the bride and groom if you are planning a destination wedding.
For state wide accommodation information, check out Accommodations-net or the US Directory of Local Chambers of Commerce. Both these sites offer a city-by-city listing of hotels and the ability to check room availability online. Be aware, in Missouri, most of the internet sites list mostly larger chain hotels, and not smaller, independent ones. For a similar listing of bed and breakfast accommodations, check out BedandBreakfast.com's Missouri listings.
It is customary for the larger hotels chains and even some of the smaller ones to offer discounts for large numbers of bookings for the same weekend. Guests simply need to mention they are reserving a room for your wedding. One note of caution here -- several friends have recently mentioned trouble when reserving rooms for weddings this way. Three different national hotels have charged a much higher rate upon check out, even though my friends had printed confirmations of the lower charge. When reserving blocks of rooms, jot down the name, date and time of the person who gives you the room quote. Since guests are not likely to complain to the bridal couple, pass this information on to whoever holds the position of gossip distribution in your family. You don't have to handle hotel complaints, but having some solid information for your guests is helpful.
Destination weddings are becoming popular for Missouri. Riverboat cruises depart from many Missouri cities including St. Louis and historic Hannibal. The American Queen departs from St. Louis and offers a luxury cruise all the way to St. Paul, Minnesota. Just like an ocean cruise, these steamboat cruises offer gourmet food, evening entertainment and port calls in historic river towns. Branson is a perfect location for a destination wedding. Hotels and inns provide a quiet starting point for water sports, amazing entertainment and museums. Silver Dollar City takes you on a thrilling walk through history. Old time soap makers, amusement park rides and festivals are all available in this park nestled in the Missouri hills.
When searching for Missouri wedding accommodations, try to give your guests several options. If your reception will be held in the events room of a major hotel, by all means offer guests information for staying right upstairs. Then include more budget friendly options and family centered places. Five year olds don't care if the reception went on until 3:00 a.m. They rise with the sun and need a place to burn off some excitement without waking other guests. If your wedding venue is a chapel in a small town, offer guests choices in the surrounding area.
Consider your accommodation plans from your guests point of view. Guests want to see your ceremony and celebrate into the wee hours with you. By giving them options for places to stay, you will make that process much easier.
