Total rooms are not wedding rooms
A property may have substantial inventory but commit only part of it to one wedding. Always ask for the approved wedding room block for your exact dates.
Create a household-level rooming list
Estimate couples, children, single guests, elderly relatives, staff and special-access rooms. Include a small buffer for late changes rather than dividing guests by two.
Model arrival and departure nights
Some guests arrive early or leave after the final function. Calculate room nights by date, not only peak rooms, because the commercial commitment can cover several nights.
Confirm overflow logistics
If split accommodation is acceptable, compare distance, transport frequency, check-in coordination and which functions require everyone to be on site.
Frequently asked questions
How many rooms are needed for 150 wedding guests?
It depends on household sharing and children. Build a named rooming estimate rather than assuming two guests in every room.
What is room-block attrition?
It is the contractual treatment of rooms committed but not ultimately used. Ask the property to explain release dates and charges in writing.
