Overnight stays in the Bridal Suite, the night before the wedding, are unfortunately not available as we want you to walk into a clean and beautiful bridal suite on the day of your wedding and be amazed and excited for your wedding day to start.

Should your hair and make-up team require starting before the crack of dawn, before check-in time at the bridal, we would recommend for you to book a villa at Hello Timber the night before, and your make-up can start early, and we will call you once your bridal suite is ready at 10 am.
