Typically, we can book your wedding or vow renewal 9-12 months in advance, depending on your preferred date and the size of your group.

Yes! We recommend at least one week for ceremonies and a two-month minimum for receptions, but we can absolutely handle last-minute requests (subject to space and staff availability.) Holidays and weekends are usually more difficult to accommodate without sufficient notice.

For ceremonies with more than 10 guests, deposit terms will be outlined in your contract with Hard Rock Hotel. When you book an inclusive package with us, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking your package. The remaining balance will be due 45 days prior to your ceremony. We prefer wire transfers or personal checks as payment, but also accept major credit cards.

No, though it is generally more convenient and less stressful for you and your guests to be in one location on the wedding day.

Special room rates are available if you contract a room block for 10 guest rooms or more. Our team would be happy to assist you with this! Room rates vary based on availability and seasonality.

A guaranteed indoor rain backup location is included in the site fee for your Hard Rock Hotel wedding. Rain backups are usually indoor meeting rooms or ballroom spaces. Due to Orlando’s sometimes unpredictable weather, we recommend including décor in your wedding package that will ensure your wedding look is perfect whether inside or out!

For 10 guests or fewer, you may book just a ceremony. For events with more than 10 guests, a food and beverage minimum must be met to host an event at the hotel. Ask your Just Marry! planner for details.

The Hard Rock Hotel’s base site fee accommodates up to 10 guests. More guests are allowed for an additional fee. Ask your Just Marry! planner for details.

Hospitality suites are not included in the ceremony site fee or ceremony packages. Couples are encouraged to book a room at the resort for a stress-free wedding day experience.

We sure do! Our Sweetheart Package is very popular for elopements, but we can customize an elopement package to include anything you envision!

If you’re hosting a wedding, yes. But don’t worry—your Just Marry! planning partner will guide you through this process! If you’re hosting a vow renewal, you don’t need a marriage license.
