Any Sturbridge Host Hotel Brides?

Alexandra, on November 25, 2019 at 9:06 AM Posted in Massachusetts Planning 0 3
We are just about decided to have our wedding ceremony and reception at the Sturbridge Host because of the all inclusive pricing (no headaches trying to figure out total cost after taxes and fees) but we’re being pressured to have our wedding in the atrium which forces us to end the party at 9 pm rather than the Junior Ballroom that we want, which allows for the party to end whenever. The sales manager is also disorganized when it comes to emails. She’s lovely in person but we’re constantly having to send follow up emails along the lines of hey did you get this change and that change as per out previous email because she doesn’t respond to them. Is this a case of you get what you pay for? Should we look at other inns and hotels in Sturbridge?

    Hey Alexandra!

    Have you already booked Sturbridge Host Hotel? Does it say in yoru contract that the Junior Ballroom is available for use?

    If you haven't booked it yet, I would definitely talk to the venue coordinator to ask is there a specific reason why they are keener on you using the atrium. You can definitely make it known that you are only interested in booking the venue if you can use the event space that you want and that there is no set end time. If this is agreed upon by the venue, then make sure that it is clearly written in your contract before signing.

    In that case, definitely ensure that it is written in your contract that you have use of the Junior ballroom and that there are no time restraints on your reception.
