Getting Ready On Your Wedding Day–What Venue Will You Be Using?

Bride in white lace dress getting assistance with tying lace ribbon on her dressThe list of “things to do” when planning a wedding seems to expand with every passing year.  New trends appear and old one’s disappear.  But the one that is really important, will never disappear and is often overlooked in planning  is where the bride and her support team will be getting ready on the wedding day.  The last thing you want to be doing two weeks before the big day is stressing about where you and your bridesmaids will be getting beautified and dressed.

The family home may be too chaotic and not large enough.  A hotel suite –unless it’s a multiple room suite–generally contains too much furniture and might have two mirrors at best.  The Church basement isn’t going to cut it on this day and some Wedding Venues just don’t have the space.Bride with long blond hair and white headpiece having make up applied for wedding day

We get so many inquiries from brides about using an overnight guest room for wedding day preparation.  This situation rarely works because of the sheer numbers and our check-in and check-out times.  It typically requires renting the room for two nights and we cannot accommodate more than 2 bridesmaids along with the bride.  By the time you add hair and make-up personnel, flower girl(s) and the mother of the bride–it’s downright crowded even in our largest suite and not so much fun!

The Weller Haus solution is to rent our Event Venue for the day.  We have 1800 square feet of space among three separate rooms for you to spread out.  Our largest room, where we can set up 5ft. round tables, will easily accommodate the largest bridal party along with your hair and make-up team.

Our attached kitchen/bar area provides a space to stock cold beverages and set up food stations for the day.  This area is completely out of the way of where you will be dressing-so no chance of spillage!  Our upstairs lounge lets you take a quiet moment to breathe–or even catch a snooze if needed–and store everyone’s bags out of the way.  And along with all of this indoor space there’s our relaxing garden and water features outdoors.   What a better way to chill out than sitting on the pavillion, listening to your favorite playlist along with the sounds of nature and waterfalls.

  • Use of Event Center and Outdoor Gardens starting at 8 am
