I am lucky enough to have two bridesmaids who are also events coordinators with wedding planning experience. I was having trouble reaching one hotel for a few days, so my MOH called to check on the block and also asked management to email me the block rooming list which was great! The list included every guest that has booked so far, the anticipated room, and their date of arrival.
I had never heard of this, but I learned that many hotels send this list to the person who holds the block 60 days before the event. I called the other hotel to ask for this and they told me that they cannot tell me anything about anyone who had booked and that it interferes with the "privacy act."
The list is helpful as we are scheduling shuttles for our guests to get to the venue and we are trying to get those staying Friday on the first shuttle so the shuttle closer to check in is not overloaded. Has anyone else had issues with obtaining this list?
