Reserving hotel rooms for wedding guests?
I’ve heard that you can reserve a block of hotel rooms for out-of-town wedding guests and possibly get a discounted rate. Does this mean that you, the hosts, are paying for the guests’ accommodations? Or does it just mean that the hotel is agreeing to keep the rooms available until a certain date, and that the guests are responsible for actually booking and paying for their rooms?
Also, how do you let the guests know which hotels you have agreements with? Do you include that information with the invitations?
Thanks!
here’s how it’s working for us.
We picked a hotel. They’ve reserved a set number of rooms until a few weeks before the wedding when the “cut off” date is. They are charging us like 5% of the cost of renting the rooms (like 400) to compensate for any lost business they may have by not letting the general public have access to the rooms. If a certain number of guests reserve there we get our 400 back. If they don’t we can use that 400 to stay at that hotel for our honeymoon or just let them keep the deposit. the guests will be paying for their own rooms however long they stay, we are just making sure one is available at a decent distance from the wedding activities. The manager has promsied if we get X number he will give them a small discount since we are bringing so much bussiness to him.
After the deadline if a guest has not reserved their room it becomes “public” again and the guest may still reserve it but their spot isn’t guranteed like it was before.
There will be an intsert in the wedding invites for traveling guests where we will send them a wedding kit that will include info on anywhere we have blocks, as well as other options for travel, accomodations, and any resturants or meals.
