What is WedStay and how does it work?

WedStay is an online platform that specializes in connecting couples with unique wedding venues and accommodations for rent. Unlike traditional wedding venues, we focus on private homes, estates, and unique properties that can accommodate your entire wedding celebration, from ceremony to reception to guest accommodations. Our platform makes it easy to browse, compare, and book these special properties while providing all the resources and vendor connections you need to plan your perfect wedding.

How is WedStay different from traditional wedding venues?

WedStay properties offer several unique advantages: complete privacy for your celebration, the ability to host multi-day events, accommodation for wedding parties and guests on-site, more flexibility in vendor selection, often more cost-effective pricing, and truly one-of-a-kind settings that can't be found at traditional venues. You essentially rent the entire property, giving your wedding an intimate, personal feel.

What types of properties are available on WedStay?

Our curated selection includes private estates, historic homes, modern vacation rentals, lakefront properties, mountain retreats, urban lofts, rustic barns, vineyard properties, and beachfront homes. Each property is hand-selected for its wedding potential, considering factors like guest capacity, available amenities, scenic beauty, and practical considerations for hosting events.

Can I bring my own vendors to a WedStay property?

Yes! One of the biggest advantages of WedStay properties is vendor flexibility. You can typically bring your own caterer, photographer, florist, and other vendors. However, some properties may have preferred vendor lists or specific requirements, so always check the property details and discuss with the host before booking.

Can I have a multi-day wedding event at a WedStay property?

Absolutely! Many couples choose WedStay properties specifically for multi-day celebrations. You can host welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, the wedding ceremony and reception, and next-day brunches all at the same location. This is perfect for destination weddings or when you want to spend quality time with out-of-town guests.

How does pricing work for WedStay properties?

WedStay pricing is typically structured as a nightly rental rate, with many properties offering discounts for longer stays. The price includes exclusive use of the property for your group. Additional fees might include cleaning, security deposits, and event fees. All pricing is transparent and clearly outlined before booking.

Do WedStay properties provide catering?

Most WedStay properties don't provide catering directly, but they often have fully equipped kitchens and can recommend preferred caterers who are familiar with the property. Some properties do offer catering services or have exclusive catering partnerships, which will be clearly noted in the listing.

Can I decorate WedStay properties for my wedding?

Most WedStay properties allow decorating, but there are usually guidelines about what can and cannot be done. Common restrictions include no nails in walls, no open flames, and removal of all decorations after the event. Each property listing outlines the decoration policy, and we can help you plan décor that works within these guidelines.

Can I host my ceremony and reception at the same WedStay property?

Yes! Most WedStay properties are designed to accommodate both ceremony and reception at the same location. This creates a seamless flow for your wedding day and is more convenient for your guests. Each property listing shows photos and descriptions of both ceremony and reception options available.

How do I find the right vendors for my WedStay wedding?

Browse our curated WedStay Preferred Vendor Network featuring top-tier wedding professionals with less than 15% acceptance rate. Each vendor specializes in private property and destination weddings, understanding the unique logistics of WedStay venues. Use our search filters by category, location, budget, and style to find vendors that match your vision.
