Wedding room blocks, without emailing ten hotels

Tell us your guest count and dates. We'll tell you how many rooms to ask for, how many free rooms to ask for with them, and what to ask each hotel.

Step 1 of 3

How hotel room blocks actually work

The terms hotels use, and what's normal versus what's worth negotiating.

Block minimum	Most hotels want ~10 rooms to open a formal block. Below that, ask for a discount code instead (see the calculator above).
Group discount	10–20% off the hotel's best available rate is standard. If you're being quoted full rate, ask again.
Pickup	Only 60–70% of invited out-of-town guests typically book inside the block. Request rooms for that range, not your full guest count.

Venue or city, dates, out-of-town guest count.

The rooms to request, and the free rooms to ask for with them, from your guest count.

Rate, cut-off, free rooms and attrition, from the table above, so the answers line up.

We never touch your payment. You book straight with their reservations desk.
