Hotels for our nuptials

"If people were meant to pop out of bed, we'd all sleep in toasters."
Jim Davis

For those of you that aren’t aware Adam and I have been struggling finding hotels to accommodate our guests. We originally selected the Canterbury Hotel after being told that they had plenty of rooms and offered us a reasonable price. One week later, they went back on their word and told us they had less rooms that they originally anticipated and that they had to adjust the price. Unfortunately, we don’t have many options due to the convention in town during the weekend of our wedding.
I even explored renting a house for the weekend for the wedding party. I found an awesome one in a great location at a wonderful price, but Adam feared it wouldn’t be big enough for everyone so we opted for hotel rooms instead.
At the moment… we’ve decided to have the wedding party and immediate family members stay at the Canterbury. We have 15 rooms each night and are on the list for any additional rooms that open up during the next 10 months.
I’ve blocked rooms at a few other hotels for the remaining family members and other close friends who plan on attending the wedding. We have 25 rooms each night at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Ave. We have seven rooms on Friday and 15 rooms on Saturday at the Fairfield Inn & Suites. We also have eight rooms on Friday and 15 rooms on Saturday at the Courtyard by Marriott. I’m hoping to secure a few other blocks of rooms at some other hotels in the next couple of weeks. I’ll keep everyone posted and let you know if any changes are made.
I’m planning to create a spreadsheet that will go in your hotel welcome bags that will list all the guests and what hotel they’ll be staying at so you’ll be able to get in touch with other guests. I hope this will be beneficial since we couldn’t all get rooms at the same hotel.
