Why We Lock Up Our Overnight Accommodations During Your Ceremony and Reception

Rochester Wedding Venue Overnight Stay Tips

At The Hillcrest Estate, we take great pride in providing a secure and enjoyable environment for all our guests. One aspect of our commitment to your safety and satisfaction involves locking up the overnight accommodations during the ceremony and reception. Here’s why this policy is in place and how it benefits everyone involved.

Protecting Personal Belongings

Weddings are joyous occasions, often attended by numerous guests, many of whom may not be personally known to you. By securing the overnight accommodations, we significantly reduce the risk of personal belongings being misplaced or stolen. Your comfort and peace of mind are paramount, and we want you to enjoy your special day without any concerns about the security of your items.

Preventing Unauthorized Access

Our estate is designed to offer a luxurious and intimate experience. During large gatherings, it’s crucial to maintain the privacy and exclusivity of certain areas. Locking the accommodations helps prevent guests from wandering into private spaces where they shouldn’t be. This ensures that all guests remain within designated areas, allowing us to maintain a smooth and well-coordinated event.

Ensuring Safety, Especially for Children

Weddings often include family members of all ages, and it’s not uncommon for children to attend. By locking the accommodations, we create a safer environment where kids are less likely to wander off into potentially hazardous areas. This helps parents keep track of their children more easily and reduces the risk of accidents, ensuring that everyone has a safe and enjoyable time.

Preventing Damages to Property

Our accommodations are designed to provide a high standard of comfort and luxury. To maintain this quality for all guests, it’s important to prevent unnecessary wear and tear or accidental damage during busy events. Securing the accommodations during the ceremony and reception helps protect the property, ensuring that it remains in pristine condition for you and future guests.

Maintaining Order and Focus

The ceremony and reception are the highlights of your wedding day, and we want these moments to be perfect. By limiting access to the accommodations, we help keep the focus on the main events, minimizing distractions and ensuring that all guests are present and engaged where they need to be. This contributes to a seamless and memorable experience for everyone.

Prior Arrangements for Special Needs

We understand that there may be special circumstances where access to the accommodations is necessary, such as for a dress change. Prior arrangements can be made between you and our team to accommodate these needs, ensuring your day proceeds smoothly.

Communication and Reminders

To ensure everyone is aware of this policy:
- We notify our clients in their contract.
- We send a reminder via email the week of the event.
- We inform the bridal party the day prior or the day of the policy.

Additionally, we have signage posted in all rooms and at the carriage house notifying individuals that they will not have access and to bring any items they will need during the wedding over to the reception site.

Locking up the overnight accommodations during your ceremony and reception is a key part of our commitment to providing a secure, enjoyable, and well-managed event at The Hillcrest Estate. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and exclusive environment for all our guests.

Thank you so much for stopping by our blog, we hope you found this information helpful. We want to use our blog to increase awareness and support for locally owned wedding venues. Locally owned wedding venues tend to provide a higher level of expertise, service and dedication. They also have far less turnover than corporate owned or investor owned venues. As you plan your wedding we hope you will consider a locally owned wedding venue like ours. You can find locally owned wedding venues on this wedding venue map.
