Wedding Planner Ruins Special Day By Making One Mistake In A Hotel Room

by Gary Leff on August 30, 2023

A wedding planner wanted a full length photo of the bride’s dress, and so she hung the dress on the sprinkler head in a hotel room. The sprinkler head broke, spraying water, and this “ruined hair and makeup for the entire bridal party, the wedding dress” as well as $3,000 worth of the makeup artist’s equipment – not to mention damage to the room.

The wedding planner hung the wedding dress from the sprinkler, the weight of the dress broke the sprinkler and that’s why it went off. pic.twitter.com/7gsYdW5b3d

Without the dress, the bride wanted to cancel the wedding and reschedule, but her family “is from out of the country” and would have had to make a separate trip so she went ahead with the ceremony. The room was in the bride’s name. She’s on the hook to the hotel, though will presumably go after the wedding planner.

In many hotels there’s literally a sign beside or underneath the sprinkler head saying Do Not Hang Items From Sprinkler Head because people do this.

For instance a high school student on a school trip hung their ROTC uniform the night before a competition, wanting it to ‘look perfect’ – and was surprised to cause $690,000 in damage to the Holiday Inn Dumfries.

Interestingly, your homeowners insurance often covers more than you think it will. The family turned the claim over to their homeowner’s policy. (Did you know that your homeowner’s policy probably covers you if you libel someone online, provided doing so wasn’t part of a commercial enterprise?)
