Top hotel-wedding 'hook-up' spots for single guests

Where do your single friends sneak away to be, well, um, intimate with each other when they should be watching every single minute of your expensive hotel wedding reception?

A survey has revealed that the elevator is the most common initial hook-up spot for singles during a hotel-based wedding.

In second comes the relative seclusion of the conference room, followed by late-night favourite the pool.

About three quarters of single respondents to travel-dating site MissTravel.com’s poll said they had hooked up somewhere besides the hotel room.

Sixty-seven per cent admitted to getting together even before the cake was cut, presumably when it is done at the end of the evening.

“Attending a wedding alone means two things for singles: open bar and an all day reminder that you’re still single,” says Brandon Wade of MissTravel.com.

“But many seize this opportunity to find a new connection, with a like-minded single who is more receptive to finding a new love interest, even if just for the night.”

One in three said they have taken the hook-up through to its ultimate conclusion.
