Two part question…..We are planning a destination wedding in Mexico and we are trying to figure out should we work with a travel agent and do room blocks or should we leave our guest to purchase their accommodations anyway they would like (I.e. Expedia, Travelocity or their own personal travel agent). Also, what should we put on our website for the guest that want to use an independent site like Expedia or Travelocity.

    Everything else aside, what is your issue with a room block? In my experience it doesn't obligate you or the people attending to anything. It just means they will hold a certain number of rooms aside for your party at a preferred rate, sometimes for a limited amount of time or until they are all booked. Are you asked to guarantee the rooms? As far as I'm concerned that's not a room block it's a reservation.
