Here’s why!!!👇🏽
- Free wedding package only stays free if you meet the minimum requirements. So don’t assume that it stays free if your guests are not booking through the room block!
- Think that room blocks keeps the whole group together in the resort, it does not! It holds rooms, not a specific spot or building. Your guests can end up in three different buildings and room assignments happen at check-in.
- Treat the resort coordinator like she works for you. She works for the resort and some properties run six weddings in a day. She is amazing - but she can be shared with someone else.
- Budget from the package price alone. In Mexico, 16% tax gets added on top of everything. Then service fees. That $4,000 package is actually closer to $5,000 before a single upgrade.
- Let guests book outside your room block because it looks cheaper on Expedia. That’s the resort selling your unsold rooms at a discount. When your block doesn’t perform, your free package is at risk and you may end up paying more.
