So I'm pretty bummed! We had planned for the bridesmaids and moms to get ready at the hotel at the moana surfrider so that we wouldn't have to travel. I had assumed it would be expensive but just realized that the room is going to cost $900.
It's the same room as the free one they're providing for the night of the wedding. It would be ideal because check out is at 12 noon and we wouldn't be able to check in to the other room until 3 pm. Also, if we were in another location we may have to pay our photographer for another hour. Since we have 9 people getting ready, the regular rooms would probably be too tight for us.
It sounds like the only way, but I would really love to use that money for doing fun things in Hawaii. Can you help me with ideas to be creative and get around this? What are your plans?
