TOP 10 QUESTIONS for WEDDING ROOM BLOCK

 1.  What is the earliest check-in time you can give for our block?

 Hotels  have check-in times of 3pm or 4pm in some cases.

2. Can you guarantee a late checkout at no additional cost?

3.  What will be the cut-off date?

Negotiate this to be no more than 3 weeks prior

4.  Do you provide Complimentary Shuttle Service to/from our Venue?

If the answer is NO, then ask them if they would consider teaming up with a local shuttle service and provide you a room rate that includes this service?  At this point it is more of a convenience factor than price!

5.  Will you provide complimentary rooms if we reserve a block with you

6.  Can hotel include comp breakfast for the Parents’ and B/G for entire stay?

Some hotels charge for breakfast, hence it is always good to negotiate this in before hand

7.  Is parking complimentary?

If the parking is NOT comp, ask them to COMP it for Parents + Yourselves and try to negotiate better rate for your guests’ over-night parking.  Sometimes the parking is outsourced to another company, so before you sign the room block, find out if they can give you a break in the price!

8.  If the hotel has paid breakfast service, ask them if they can offer a better rate for the group block

10.  Is there a charge for welcome bags?

Sometimes hotel will charge you for welcome bags, because they will place them in guest rooms, instead ask the hotel to hand them out at check-in! This SAVES you money because the fees can be anywhere from $1.00 to $5.00 per room
