They're not too far from one another but I'm confused about where the block should be...closer to the church or the hall?? Any help would be amazing...this is starting to drive me batty!

1. Hyatt Place, Garden City
2. Hampton Inn, Garden City

Nichelmus Almost There! :-) Member since 11/11 2045 total posts Wedding Date: 7/4/2013 12:00 PM Wed. Location: Westbury Manor	Re: Hotel Block Help!! I think either or is fine. You can put a block at more than one hotel without any financial obligation but I think it has to be 10 or less. If you do more than that you have to guarantee a certain amount. Check with the hotel you select as well.

You know, it's very considerate to make a block of rooms for your guests, but only do it if they don't require you to make a financial commitment to fill the rooms. Some of my family members have already booked pretty far from the RH because they found cheaper rates and I'm glad that they're happy - and I'm also glad that I didn't do the hotel block like I had originally planned :) You could always list the hotels on your wedding website or in your invitations with their prices so that they know the best options.

Jack84 Board Enthusiast Member since 2/12 116 total posts Wedding Date: 9/28/2014 12:00 AM Wed. Location:	Re: Hotel Block Help!! I would chose a hotel closer to the hall. Hopefully, the hotel will offer a free shuttle. After church while you are taking pictures people can freshen up & take the shuttle over. By the end of the night, people are usually tired or had some drinks so to have the hotel close by will be a huge plus for guests. Hope this helps!

Still have to figure a few things with FH but it is definitely important to remember that a hotel block isn't mandatory and I am never going to please EVERYONE. If they don't like the hotel block we pick, they always have the option of looking elsewhere!
