Hotel blocks? *I know how they work now*

I've been trying to read up on hotel blocks and I'm so confused about what I'll need to do!

I've been trying to read up on hotel blocks and I'm so confused about what I'll need to do!

I still have over a year until our wedding but we have a lot of out of town guests on our list so I'm trying to plan ahead. Then when it comes time to set up a hotel block I actually have an idea of what I'm doing.

Anyway, do I have to do a hotel block? It sounds nice and helpful but is it also okay to maybe just give some recommendations for hotels? There are quite a few hotels in our area but I'm not sure how quickly they book.

My understanding of hotel blocks is that the guests still pay for the rooms but by setting up a block it makes sure that there are rooms available and guests potentially get a better rate. Is that correct? And if it is, is there a fee that we would have to pay for setting up a block? What questions should I be asking the hotels?

Any advice or help would be appreciated! I want to make sure that I'm doing my best to help out guests who are traveling!

    I work in hotels. I recommend setting up a block! Most hotels will create a direct link to get the discounted rate sales offers you. You will have a specific time frame for guest to make their reservation. It's helpful, less stress for you, and organized!
