Planning a wedding is a complex undertaking. There are numerous tasks, places to be, and things to organize.
However, don’t underestimate the importance of reserving a block of hotel rooms for your guests.
If you’re hosting a wedding in Audubon, Carroll County, or the surrounding western Iowa region, consider having your guests stay comfortably at Blue Grass Inn & Suites.
You may reserve a Wedding Block at Any Time.
“We love weddings,” said Beth Handlos Wahlert, Chief Operating Officer of Waspy’s, the family-owned business that owns Blue Grass Inn & Suites.
“We like having the bride and groom and their entire family come in. We’re happy to accommodate,” said Wahlert.
Opened in 2018, Blue Grass Inn & Suites has 36 spacious and comfortable hotel rooms.
Statistics show that summer and fall are the most popular months for weddings in the United States.
However, you can reserve a block of rooms at Blue Grass Inn & Suites “as soon as your wedding date is confirmed,” said the hotel’s general manager, Kimberly Irlbeck.
“The bride or groom creating the wedding block isn’t required to provide us with a credit card – only the individual guests making a room reservation,” she added.
Due to our limited number of rooms, we limit wedding blocks to 10 rooms per block. You can reserve up to two blocks of rooms per weekend.
Any rooms in the block that haven’t been booked by a wedding guest 14 days before the event are released to the general public, said Irlbeck.
Hotel room blocks are a key component of your wedding guests’ experience. For out-of-town guests, providing a hotel block helps eliminate the stress of trying to find a place to stay.
Welcome Wedding Guests With Special Bags
A hotel block also allows the bride and groom to make their guests feel extra special. Many couples will create “welcome” bags for out-of-town guests. Popular items may include snacks, maps of the area, tiny trinkets, or any other treat to welcome your very important guests.
At Blue Grass Inn & Suites, we offer two options for distributing gift bags. You can leave them in the room for each arriving guest or distribute them at the front desk as guests check in.
“We’re happy to do either,” said Irlbeck. “If the party provides us with names, we can hand out the gift bags at check-in.”
For the newlywed couple themselves, Blue Grass Inn & Suites has spacious Deluxe King or Double Room suites available.
Reserve the party room for gift opening
For some couples, the day after the wedding is the perfect time to open gifts. Blue Grass Inn & Suites offers a party room that can be reserved for those who want to open gifts while still spending time with their out-of-town guests.
We offer several amenities, including an indoor pool and Jacuzzi.
