We would like to book a block of rooms for our wedding in the Hotel we are having the wedding. Unfortunately rooms run about $350 a night minimum *with our group booking discount* so we would like to contribute to the guests room without them knowing but the problem is what if we book 20 rooms that the guests would only have to pay say $70 a night. But 30 people call to reserve then you have 10 rooms being paid for $350. understand? I am not describing this well I know.
If we hold 50 rooms we have to guarantee they will be filled or we pay the balance which wouldn’t be good if only 10 rooms get booked haha.
Also, On the Reception card on the bottom we were going to put something along the lines of
For reservations please call 212 XXX XXXX mention you are with the Smith and Jones wedding for a discounted rate
but my fiance said it sounds tacky… what is a better way to word it?
Fizzy:
I thought that too. But from the way it was explained to me because I am getting married in NYC during the busiest month they will not hold you any rooms without the guarantee of them being filled (I guess they don’t want to miss any tourist that would be booking months before their trips)
I checked with a hotel across the street (with slightly lower rates) and this was their policy also.
In short business in NYC (especially midtown, tourist city) are just jerks. period. haha
