Destination wedding resort requirements

Couple things to think about

1. Can guests not attend the wedding if they do not stay at the hotel? Of do they have to pay a fee? If they have to pay a fee, figure out what that is, and then (IMO) you should pay that fee for the guests who chose to stay at another resort/hotel. Reason being, 4 nights is a huge ask and not everyone can afford this after flights, rentals, and hotel stays

2. You cannot require guest stay at the preferred resort for 4 nights. Some may jump at the opportunity for a vacation, but if there are cheaper places they usually go for those. If you have the budget, as an incentive, you can pay for half the stay and they pay the other half. (Caveat to this, you need money up front. Do not go off good faith)

3. Is there a guest requirement? If you need a minimum number of guest, do you think you can meet that?

I think before you book the venue, you should get as many details on this venues policies and any fees that may come up. That way you can make the determination if this is the direction you want to go in
