Where to get ready?! Help!

Marschel, on September 1, 2019 at 10:13 AM Posted in Georgia Planning 0 7
So my fiancé and I are getting married at Old Fort Jackson (Savannah, GA) next October. The only issue we are having right now is that they don’t have anywhere on site that we can get ready.

I’m looking for affordable suggestions (outside of paying for two hotel rooms) on places we can get ready. Either close by or something we can bring on site. My brain is at a total loss!

    Welcome to the WeddingWire community Marschel!

    Where are you and your FS staying the night of your wedding? Would it be possible to use this room as one of your getting ready locations?

    How many people will be getting ready in each location? Will you have hair and makeup artists working with you on the morning of your wedding?

    How far away is your venue from your home?

    We got lucky. I'm going to be using a suite in the hotel and we live close to the venue so FH is going to get ready at home!

    Home is 9 hours from our venue. So sadly not an option. We don’t know where we are staying the night of the wedding yet, but he very specifically nixed that idea.

    For my my side it’ll be about 10 of us plus hair and makeup. FH side only about 5/6.

    I'm not understanding why he nixed getting ready at the hotel you'll be staying. Will other members of the wedding party be getting rooms as well? Could you rent a airbnb?

    If you are getting hair or makeup at a salon, some of them have extra spaces that might work for you to get dressed in. Worth asking!

    They’re just as expensive. And he nixed it because he doesn’t want us to spend our wedding night in a messy room. That was one of very few requests and I’m honoring that.

    Your best bet might be hotel rooms I'm afraid, unless someone in your BP has a place close by. If your FS doesn't want to messy up your hotel room, why not ask the cleaning staff to come in after you're doing with HMU and clean the room? I'm sure if you mention you're getting ready for your wedding and then spending your first night as a married couple there, they will be happy to oblige.
