Where do wedding guests sleep? When we started weddings ten years ago, this was already a question, but nowadays it’s increasingly important and even more so for a Provence destination wedding when you’ve asked all your guests to travel to another country to attend your wedding.
Where wedding guests sleep – a question of comfort and safety
It’s true that, over time, society has come to realise that the question of where people sleep after partying is a real safety issue. All the more so when it comes to weddings.
At a wedding, emotions run high, and the time slots are generally relatively long. Also, the guests feast late and the party ends in the early hours. Of course, there is the question of alcohol consumption. However, even just tiredness can be important when guests get back in the car after a wedding. What’s more, the last thing our brides and grooms want is for their wedding to be associated with a loved one’s accident on the way home from celebrating their union. This is even more of a problem on a destination wedding when people are unfamiliar with the roads and may also be used to driving on the other side of the road from what is customary in France!
Our brides and grooms also pay a great deal of attention to the place where the wedding guests sleep. What’s more, the closer it is to the venue, the better. This is all the more relevant if the festivities continue the next day at the same venue for the wedding brunch which is generally the case for a destination wedding in Provence.
Our accommodation
This is why we decided to renovate the Château’s former stables. We are now pleased to be able to accommodate up to 45 people on site in our luxury 4* rooms.
Our rooms have been in use since June 2023. We’ve also noticed how having most of our guests sleep on site gives an even more intimate and warm character to the weddings we host at Château la Beaumetane.
For extra guests, we provide our brides and grooms with lists of possible accommodation in the vicinity of the château. If necessary, we also have the contacts of service providers who can arrange shuttles between the château and the accommodation to ensure that everyone’s safety and comfort are not compromised.
And for our brides and grooms…. We generally keep them in the bridal room for their wedding night, as we explain in this article.
