New Year’s Eve is a great night to get married. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. Imagine, you will have one of the most fantastic celebrations taking place, some of which you don’t have to spend for. Wondering how to do it? It’s easy.

A good choice to make if you’re getting married on new year’s eve is a hotel; especially if you are having a grand wedding. Some of the best hotels in the world put on the most wonderful new year’ eve parties that you can enjoy after your event.

Ok, now back to your wedding. Here are the reasons why it is a great idea to have your wedding at a hotel on this momentous day:

  • You need not worry about them being closed due to the holidays since hotels are open 24/7. There is no such thing as a holiday to these establishments. In fact, they are busiest on such days.
  • They are sure to have the staff that will attend to your wedding. Most establishments will tell you that they are closed or unavailable on this day because they are giving the staff the holiday off. That’s great! Hotels though always have crew on duty to attend to your event. No worries on this score.
  • You won’t need to worry about anything about the reception. Most hotels will take care of everything about the reception. About the only thing you decide is what you want to eat and the wedding theme. If it’s a basic wedding reception, most hotels have teams who are well versed in handling such events. They’ll take care of everything. You just get to have fun.
  • You are sure to have rooms in the hotel so there is no need to worry about transportation or traveling through the revelers for the holiday. You can simply enjoy the festivities from the comfort of the hotel.
  • If you book your event early enough, you are unaffected by any changing price the hotel may have due to the holiday. You don’t get stiffed with holiday rates which is of major consideration since this affects your budget.

Now, reception parties usually run about 2 hours. That means that if you have the wedding ceremony at around 7:30 pm and begin the reception at about 8:30pm, your party should be winding down at around 10:30 pm. Find out what plans the hotel has for new year and invite your guests to stay on for it. As we said, hotels often have some of the best New Year’s parties. Often there are fireworks displays, great food and free flowing champagne. Since you are already coming from a reception, you and your family and friends may just want to stay for the fireworks display and the bubblies.

Do note that some hotels charge on a per head basis for their new year’s party - that covers the cost of the food usually. In fact, some couples opt to forego the original reception and just get tickets to the New Years celebration for all their confirmed guests. Some hotels will give a discount for that since you are getting so many tickets. This is usually a buffet so you with a lot of great food at less than you might have had to spend otherwise. The only thing is that you will have people present that you don’t know since it won’t be a private party anymore.
