Booking a vacation package that will have you spending a week in the sun at a resort can be just what your family needs. Careful research and the evaluation of several resorts can help you to book the right vacation package, but it never hurts to get in touch with a few resorts that you're considering so that you can ask some questions. One question that you might not think to ask is regarding the presence of weddings. Lots of resorts host weddings, so don't be afraid to inquire as to whether one is taking place during your proposed vacation dates. Here are some reasons to try to book your package when there isn't a wedding taking place.

More Access

There's little doubt that you'll still enjoy your resort visit if a wedding is taking place while you're there, but it does present a few inconveniences. One issue is that a part of the resort will be closed off to guests during the wedding. This might be a stretch of the beach, or it could be one of the swimming pools and the area around it. While you can still find other places to spend time, you may find that it's a bit of a nuisance to have restricted access to these locations because of the wedding. When you visit a resort that doesn't have any weddings booked, you'll have full access.

Larger Crowds

Weddings can be good for a resort's business because they bring a lot of people to the resort. Some people may book a wedding at a resort and plan to have more than 100 guests in attendance, for example. What's good for the resort isn't necessarily good for you and your family, however. If you visit at the same time as a large wedding, you may notice larger crowds. This can mean that lines are longer at the buffets, there aren't as many spots to sit around the pools, and other similar issues. Fortunately, visiting when there no wedding is scheduled can help to avoid these extra crowds.

More Noise

If you're someone who is sensitive to noisy environments, you may also want to try to schedule your resort vacation around any weddings. Weddings can be boisterous affairs that stretch well into the night. If your room happens to be near where the wedding is taking place, you may be aware of the music and the sound of people while you're trying to sleep. Visiting the resort when no weddings are scheduled can provide you and your family with more peace and quiet.
