I didnt have to put any money down for the hotel block. You just call the hotel and they will reserve a certain amount for you.

you reserve the block and hold it with your credit card in some cases but the guests pay for them. At Fox Hollow I had to guarentee 70% so if I didn't meet that, I would have had to pay to cover the rest, but that didn't happen.
You don't pay for the rooms for yuor guests, you just have the hotel hold them so that they can book the rooms. Though some places will make you sign a contract for a certain amount of rooms and only if they do not get booked by your guests will you be required to pay for the rooms.
i have rooms blocked at 2 different hotels. i signed a contract for 15 rooms at both. i am not financially responsible for any of the rooms; however, if the minimum amount of rooms for the special rate are not booked, then the guests who did book have to pay regular price. one month before the wedding they release any rooms that have not yet been filled. HTH!
def not, we booked 2 hotels, we r kinda having a mini dest wedding in albany and neither 1 ask for any money, 1 had a contract that said number of rooms of each kind and the hold date and locked in a cheaper price, the other was just done over the phone but we discussed the same info

We have exactly the same situation. 2 hotels...no money from us. If they are not booked a month before the rest get re-released to the public.
we set up blocks at 2 hotels that did not require us to guarantee the rooms. We did look at one inn that required us to guarantee but we were not comfortable with that at all. I know some of the other 07 brides were told that they had to guarantee and when they pushed back, the hotels relented and didn't force them to do so. not sure if you want to try that, but we were simply uncomfortable being the personal guarantor on the rooms.
No, you have to much to pay for. They are responsible for that.
No you don't pay for them- some just require that you sign a contract to reserve a block of rooms and also keep a credit card on file as well in some cases.
No way. The guest should pay for their own rooms. Unless they are someone really, really special.........Weddings cost enough, as is.

a couple of hotels said we'd be responsible if a certain % of the rooms weren't booked...so we didn't block with them.
With the 3 we blocked with, we didn't have to give any cc info.....when the guests call in to reserve their room from the block, they give their cc #. all 3 of ours put the rooms back on sale for regular price a month prior to the wedding though.
