Q:
I keep hearing that when you block a bunch of rooms with a hotel you should receive a discounted rate. So far, with the few hotels we’ve checked, this hasn’t been the case. What’s the story?
A:
It really varies from hotel to hotel. Some hotels offer a percentage off when a certain number of rooms are reserved. Some hotels charge regular rates, but give the bride and groom a free room. Some just allow you to reserve in advance and don’t offer any discount at all. Do your homework and choose the hotel that offers the best deal overall. Your guests will certainly appreciate the fact that you made it easier for them to make travel plans.
