I am also getting married at East Wind. I looked into hotels in the area and found varying prices and stipulations. Hotel Indigo was good because they hold the block til a certain date, then simply let go of rooms you don't use -- no fee beyond that. Call and ask to speak to Lauren.
Thanks so much..I will def give her a call!

Re: Hotel Block
We just booked a block at that Holiday Inn Express in Riverhead and we had to commit to 10 rooms from the block of 20. But we didn't even have to give our credit card # to them. And this is for 4th of July weekend. That seems odd they told you that!

Re: Hotel Block
I spoke to a lot of hotels and never heard that. We got 10 room for 'free' as part of the block. If they werent booked, no responsibility. If we blocked over that and they were not booked then we were responsible for a percentage!

Re: Hotel Block
I blocked off room at the Hilton Garden Inn....you don't have to leave a deposit.
Holiday Inn told me that they make people getting married at East Wind leave a deposit....because in the past they say people blocked off rooms, but then their guests all stayed at East Wind, and none of the rooms were booked. Who knows......

Re: Hotel Block
NO WAY! Don't give them anything... that's ridiculous! I booked a block at Hotel Indigo and they didn't ask for a penny! Take a look there... I worked with Lauren and she was great!!

They said its because I'm getting married at East Wind. I guess because so many people just stay there.

Re: Hotel Block
How is Hotel Indigo? I have not been inside but from the website it looks really nice.
