Wedding Party and Guests: Consider Queenstown Apartments

Everyone wants their own wedding day to be a day they remember for ever for all the right reasons, one of fairy tale proportions, of everything running smoothly, everyone getting along famously together and an enjoyable memorable day that their guests talk about for years to come.

When booking your Queenstown apartments, you can make things so much easier for yourself and your wedding party, also your guests by thinking about the following aspects.

  • Luggage storage
  • Early check in and late check outs
  • Common area to gather, meet & greet
  • Rooms in close vicinity
  • Bedding configurations
  • Equipment hire

Some of these topics may not mean a lot, but to a person who has travelled a long distance they may mean the world!

At Highview Apartments we are happy to provide the wedding organizer with a quote that they are able to send out to their guests along with the invites providing information about rooms, facilities and costs and usually look at a group booking rate. Also whether they have a storage facility available if they are not able to offer early check in. Also if the wedding party is travelling a long distance whether it is possible to send luggage or packages to the address of the accommodation provider early than the arrival date. Same goes for late check out, especially if guests are leaving the day after the wedding, the last thing guests want to do after a late night of celebrating is to have to rise early and vacate the complex.

Relaxing in your Queenstown Apartments

Having a common area where your guests can meet & greet such as a BBQ area is a fantastic ice breaker for guests who are from out of town and possibly don’t know many other guests, this kind of pre wedding activity also makes it feel like a longer celebration and can take the edge off any nerves.

Having many of your guests staying in close proximity of each other can be a nice way of making it feel more like a celebration also, sometimes when guests are staying in different locations you loose the party atmosphere by guests having to leave early and can be a real saver on transport logistics.

When making your enquiry to your accommodation provider ask about bedding configurations, if they are able to split beds to singles this may make the cost more affordable for guests and also give the options of friends staying in one apartment or room.

Also whether your guests can hire extra equipment such as a roll away bed for the extra guest, cots for infants and other baby needs. This could be the deciding factor for guests travelling with young children to whether they can make it to your special day.

Once all this has been taken care of, send out the quotes, sit back and enjoy your wedding, just as your guests intend to.
