I feel like I just need to vent about something even though it’s small in the grand scheme of things.
My mom informed me today that our wedding block is completely filled and the hotel is completely booked up! I did not expect the hotel to book up so quickly but maybe I’m a little naive- our wedding is right around the corner in June. We’re having a local wedding with a small number of out of town guests so I probably low balled the number of rooms I needed and I’m kicking myself for not just blocking a larger amount of rooms. I can’t go back in time so I’m trying to come up with an alternative. I’m going to try to work with the hotel to see if any cancellations they get can be added to my block, and I’m considering setting up another block at another hotel in the area. We’re lucky that there are several close by, but since we’re about 4 months out our options may be limited. Plus our hotel has a shuttle service, bar for after the wedding, and we’re hosting a breakfast the next morning, so having guests at multiple locations is not ideal. I understand that anyone who really needs a hotel room for the night will find availability wherever they can, and we live in the world of Uber so finding a ride should not be a problem, but part of me also feels like I failed at this small wedding planning task. I know it’s not the biggest wedding planning problem that I can have, but it’s a stressor I didn’t expect to have right now.
