I keep seeing everyone talking about their rehearsals, but i've not thought... We're getting married in a hotel, and was just wondering do we do rehearsals in them? Or is it just church weddings that you do them for.. Cause my family are Soooo unorganised, that is we don't have a rehearsal, then I can see it going terribly wrong!! x

...i don't believe there are rehearsals for hotel weddings...it is like getting hitched in the registry office. do you have a Master of Ceremonies for your day..if you do I suspect he or the wedding planner will be briefing you on the way to go...just TELL your bestman/mum/dad whomever yo herd all your guests into the room your wedding is happening in and tell them 'not too move!'...then you make your entrance!

Oki dokes, Thanks x And yes We will have either a planner or a master of ceremonies, but we've got ages left, so I thought i'd ask the experts (you lot) hehe. I'm hoping they can all pull together for just 1 day though, lol. All they need to do is turn up and look good! There's only really my Dad and Nephew that are much involved, My dad's giving me away and my nephew's a page boy. So fingers crossed...
we didnt have any rehersals for our wedding in a registry office,but the staff were fab,guiding people to places,telling us what happens,as its a registra you will have it might be worth you checking just to see if you do get a rehersal x~x~x

Thanks Tiggs, I'll be asking when we book the venue, which will hopefully be soon, as it's a very popular place, hence booking 4 years prior!! x
CommentAuthorEriksfjord
Hi! We are getting married in a hotel. I have booked the room to be set up by the hotel 2 days before for the rehersal (they are not charging me for this) and we will be having our rehersal dinner there. I cannot imagine any of us knowing what to do if we don't do this. It does not seem to have been a problem for any of the venues we spoke to. Hope this helps.x
CommentAuthorVintageChic
It's not customary to do so but we're thinking maybe the week before the wedding we'll get together to have a nice big meal in reception venue and have a "light walk through" just for our piece of mind

We are getting married in a castle, so there wont be a rehearsal for us, it isnt local so we cant all just go for the day. xx
CommentAuthorKirsty
Were in a Castle too and no rehersals either just not the done thing...however we have a Master of Ceremonies for the day who we meet before the big day and run through what happens, who goes where kind of thing x
CommentAuthorHoxxyhula
Good point - I hadn't thought of this. I sort of like the idea of not having a rehearsal, so it's all totally new on the day!

Snap think id be more nervous if we had a rehearsal incase it went wrong id jst then panic on the big day xx
CommentAuthorRoxii
I dunno, I think i'd rather get the mistakes out of the way beforehand... :P x
CommentAuthorMelly
What castle are you getting married in? xx
CommentAuthorHoxxyhula
I'm not too worried about mistakes because it's only our family and friends there...I just think it will feel less special if have done a run-through in normal clothes....

Not got down to the finer details as its still a long way off. Thinking live band, lots of dancing can't wait xx Whats your plans hun?
CommentAuthorMelly
Sounds great. If i get my way we will be
Having a morning ceremony and then picnic in the castle grounds, also having a hand fasting ceremony.
Then we are all camping, so we will be having a bbq, and a party. Planning on setting fireworks off once it gets dark. We will all be playing games in the evening, with the kids before they go to bed. xx
CommentAuthorKirsty

CommentAuthorMelly
Our budget is £2000, making most things ourselves. xx
CommentAuthorRoxii
Ours is about 12k so far, but we're going for exactly what we want :P x
CommentAuthorKirsty
were at about 16k but its just perfect, 100ish for meal and 160 at night x
CommentAuthorRoxii
I think we'll end up spending about that much.. We've added rough prices of so many things, not everything and we've ended up at 12k already! including the honeymoon though, so that's not bad! :P x
