Absolutely! Our wedding room blocks are based on availability and seasonality. We require a minimum of twenty (20) contracted rooms per night.
No, we do not require any advanced payment for a room block. The only time you will owe the resort money for your room block is if you are in attrition.
Attrition is the number of rooms in your contracted room block for which you will not be penalized if unfulfilled. We allow for a twenty percent (20%) nightly decrease in the number of rooms contracted without financial penalty, up to a cut-off date (30 days prior to the check-in date). For example, if you contract twenty (20) rooms, you are financially responsible for filling (“picking up”) a minimum of 16 room nights. The good news is that we count all of your group reservations toward your pick-up; therefore,
if anyone in your room block comes early or stays late, those room nights will count towards attrition!
