Every wedding you host sends 150 guests to booking sites. That spend can be yours.

Count out-of-town guests, not the guest list, and assume roughly two adults per room. A good share of guests will book on their own no matter what you arrange, so a block sized under expected pickup is far safer than one sized over it, especially against a standard 80% attrition clause. The block size calculator on this site will work it through.

Yes, and it is one of the few revenue lines a venue can add without touching its calendar, its staffing or its pricing. The venue is the reason 150 people are travelling to a specific place on a specific date. Presenting real places to stay to those guests and earning on every booking costs the venue nothing and requires no inventory.

Wedding parties in particular tend to want whole homes, and a hotel-only block never serves them. Those guests book on a rental site instead, and the venue sees none of it. An offer that covers both formats reaches the whole guest list rather than the half that wanted a standard room.
