Call managers of the hotels directly. If your wedding is during a local high occupancy event, then you will have a tough time otherwise negotiate. Do not guarantee a set number of rooms past what you know will be covered by the wedding party. Ask for it to be rolling with a 30 day prior cutoff/release. so they add more rooms as your block books.

Have you reached out to Kleinfeld hotel blocks? It’s a free service that compiles hotel blocks in your areas for you. I’m sure you can specify that you’re only looking for courtesy blocks

I did! They sent an amazing list around the holidays, but I haven’t been able to review it until now. The woman who sent it now told me that none of them have courtesy anymore, which I find hard to believe

We had to call hotels and find one that didn’t charge. We looked at a few options before deciding. Our location was during COVID, so we had a bit of room to negotiate. Many of the hotels were just excited at the possibility of filling the rooms
