After a long day of celebrating your wedding day, you’ll want a nearby place for you and your guests to rest! Setting up a wedding room block at a hotel close to your venue helps out-of-town guests find accommodations, and makes transportation that much more seamless. Plus, many hotels will provide discounts! Here is a Wedding Hotel Checklist and Timeline plus questions to go over with the hotel property prior to booking!
