Group Concessions You Earn Back with 30 Guests

Because 30 guests generate 35 to 55 total room nights, your room block qualifies for powerful contractual concessions:

Free Room Nights for the Couple

Most resorts grant 1 complimentary room night for every 10 to 12 paid room nights, saving the bride and groom $800 to $1,500 on their own suite.

Free Private Welcome Cocktail Party

Resorts frequently include a free 1-hour private sunset cocktail party with hors d'oeuvres for groups of 10+ rooms.

Exclusive $150 AIW Event Credit

All Inclusive Weddings credits $150 directly toward your wedding decor, florals, or DJ bill, backed by our 100% price match guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions: 30-Guest Weddings

30 guests almost always equate to 12 to 15 hotel rooms (an average of 2 to 2.2 guests per room). This is the ideal size for contracted room block agreements without onerous attrition clauses.

No! When we set up your group room block, you place a minimal holding deposit (often as low as $50 to $100 per room or a flat group deposit). Your guests then book and pay for their own rooms and flights through our customized online booking website.

Simply reach out to us! We review your vision, verify live resort availability for your preferred season, compare exact package prices, and secure your room block at $0 agency fee.
