TBH for Weddings & Wedding Planners — The Bag Hotel

Partner Programme / Weddings & Wedding Planners

Weddings · Receptions · Rehearsal Dinners · Engagement Events

Your guests arrive with gifts and handbags, not laptops and briefcases.

TBH provides staffed coat check, guest bag storage, and gift bag distribution for weddings and celebrations. A seamless, PIN-secured guest amenity — managed entirely by TBH so you and your couple can focus on the day, not the logistics.

Wedding services

Four services. One TBH team.

TBH covers the full guest arrival and departure experience — from the first coat at the door to the last gift bag collected at the end of the night.

Coat & Bag Check

Guests hand over coats, bags, and wraps on arrival. Each item receives a tamper-evident seal and a unique PIN. Collection at the end of the evening by PIN only — no paper tickets, no name lookups, no queues.

Available at Elevated and Bespoke tiers. Staff are smartly presented and briefed on your specific venue and timeline before arrival.

Gift Bag Distribution

TBH staff distribute your couple's gift bags to guests at the right moment — arrival, reception, or departure. Tracked by item type, inventory counted at the start and end of the event, and reported back to you.

Can be combined with coat check into a single TBH desk — one team, two services, one setup.

Pre-Event Storage

Items arriving before the wedding day — gifts, décor, personal effects, stationery — held securely and released to you or your planner on request. Particularly useful for out-of-town couples, multi-day celebrations, and venue drop-offs that happen before TBH's on-site team arrives.

Available at Elevated and Bespoke tiers. Contact us to confirm timing and collection arrangements for your specific venue.

Valuables Storage

For guests who want to secure jewellery, handbags, or high-value items during the reception, TBH provides a dedicated valuables storage option with enhanced seal protocols. All items covered by TBH's bailee's liability insurance.

Available at Bespoke tier. Contact us to discuss insurance limits and coverage for high-value items.

How it works

Seamless from first dance to last goodbye.

TBH handles the full operation. You brief us on the timeline. We arrive early, set up quietly, and clear without disruption.

01

Book TBH as your coat check

Include TBH in your vendor recommendations to the couple, or add us to your preferred supplier list. We work alongside your florist, caterer, and AV team as a standard part of the day's setup.

02

We arrive and set up

TBH staff arrive 60 minutes before doors open. We set up the coat check desk, brief the team on the venue layout, and integrate with the day's run of show — no disruption to your timeline.

03

Guests check in on arrival

Each guest receives a PIN when they hand over their coat or bag. The process takes under 30 seconds. No paper tickets, no name lookups, no held-up queues at the entrance.

04

Collection and closedown

At the end of the evening, guests collect by PIN. TBH staff manage the collection queue. Any uncollected items are logged and photographed before TBH packs down, and you receive a full reconciliation report.

Bridal Shows & Wedding Expos

Exhibitor & event services

TBH attends bridal shows as an exhibitor and can provide guest coat check for the show itself. A natural fit — couples at the show are already evaluating vendors, and experiencing TBH's service in person is the most effective demonstration.

Common questions

Everything planners and couples ask us.

Can TBH match our wedding's aesthetic or colour scheme?

At the Elevated and Bespoke tiers, TBH staff are presented in a way that complements your event's formality. At the Bespoke tier, we can provide co-branded collateral — custom signage, seal design, and table cards — that integrate with the couple's palette and style. Contact us to discuss what's possible for your specific event.

How does TBH handle coat check at a venue with an existing cloakroom?

TBH can operate within an existing cloakroom space or alongside it. We bring our own equipment and system — you don't need to provide anything beyond the space and access to power. If the venue operates its own coat check, TBH can work in parallel for the wedding guests specifically, with a clear handover process agreed in advance.

What if a guest loses their PIN at the end of the night?

TBH staff can look up the booking via the guest's phone number. Guests are required to show photo ID for lost PIN collection. Every transaction is logged with a full audit trail, so collection is always possible — just with a brief ID check. This process typically takes under two minutes.

Can TBH handle coat check and gift bag distribution at the same event?

Yes — this is one of the most common combinations we handle at weddings. One TBH team operates both services from a single desk. Gift bags are distributed at the moment you specify in the run of show — arrival, after dinner, or at departure. Coat check runs throughout the evening. Both are tracked and reported in a single post-event reconciliation.

How does pre-event storage work?

Pre-event storage allows items to be delivered to a TBH location before the wedding day — gifts from guests who cannot attend, décor or stationery arriving from suppliers, or personal effects the couple wants secured before the venue is accessible. Each item is logged with a description, photograph, and seal on arrival. You or your planner collect by PIN at an agreed time before the event. Available at Elevated and Bespoke tiers — contact us to confirm logistics for your venue and delivery window.

How far in advance do I need to book?

We recommend booking at least four weeks before the wedding date. For peak season weekends — May through October — six to eight weeks in advance is preferred to guarantee availability. Rush bookings within two weeks are accepted subject to availability and may carry a surcharge.

Does TBH cover destination weddings?

TBH currently operates in US markets. For destination weddings within active TBH markets, yes. For international destination weddings, contact us to discuss availability — we are expanding our Guardian network internationally and may be able to accommodate depending on location and timing.
