A vacation rental is more than just a place to stay – it’s the ultimate home-base for your wedding weekend! It serves as a warm, welcoming hub for your loved ones, creating a convenient space that brings everyone together and keeps things feeling seamless and connected from welcome party to going away brunch. We’re sharing some of our favorite ideas to turn a vacation rental into the ultimate gathering space for your special celebration:
Welcome Guests with a Cocktail Hour
Kick off your wedding weekend with a warm, casual cocktail hour as guests arrive. Set up a bar, lay out some light bites, string a few lights, and you have the perfect ambiance for mingling and reconnecting.
Host an Intimate Rehearsal Dinner
Ditch the noisy restaurant and hassle of reservations – make your rental the venue for a cozy rehearsal dinner. Whether you hire a private chef, organize a potluck, or whip up your favorite dishes together, the intimate vibe will set the tone for the festivities.
Throw a Pre-Wedding Pajama Party
Gather your wedding party or closest friends for a relaxed evening before the big day. Add a fun twist with a lingerie shower or play some classic games – all while lounging in your comfiest PJs!
Create a Glamorous Getting Ready Spot
Wedding mornings can be chaotic, but a vacation rental provides the ideal space to get ready. Spread out, relax, turn up your favorite playlist, and enjoy the comfort and room you need to prep with ease.
Keep the Party Going with an After-Party
When the venue closes but the energy’s still high, your vacation rental is the ultimate spot for a low-key gathering or a full-on dance party that lasts all night. No venue closing times here!
Host a Hangover Brunch
You know we love a brunch, and with a vacation rental, you can host a hangover brunch the morning after your wedding. Think breakfast tacos, pastries, and fresh coffee to bring your guests back to life. Maybe add some mimosas and bloody mary’s to get that pep back in your step! May we also recommend getting mobile IV treatments as an add on?
Encourage Guest Connection
A vacation rental fosters a sense of community, giving your guests a chance to mingle and bond in a space that feels homey and personal. This shared space creates memories beyond the wedding day itself.
Make It Your Wedding Weekend HQ
Keep things organized by turning your rental into the central hub for itineraries, last-minute prep, and just a general place everyone can always gather in. Having everything in one place simplifies logistics and adds to the sense of togetherness.
Whether you’re looking for cozy downtime or a place to keep the party going, a vacation rental is a versatile choice that lets you create the wedding weekend of your dreams!
