How to plan hotels for guests during Covid?

I don’t think that’s rude at all to list that verbiage! That was well said

It's not rude at all, but most sites are all posting the Covid restrictions. I think if you want to list hotels you should call them all first and find out if they are open. Before we got our block, I used ww's hotel search along with comparing prices on various 3rd party sites and noted all the information on our wedding website so our guests could make their own decision where they wanted to reserve their rooms.

Almost all hotels allow for cancellation before 48 hours without penalty. It shouldn't be a problem.

I don't think that's rude at all. Listing what is in the area, including hotels, is a great idea. I would 100% put a disclaimer saying something along the lines of "Due to COVID-19, certain attractions/hotels may have restrictions, limited hours or closures. To ensure you have the most up-to-date information, please contact the hotel/attraction". I would also list the phone numbers to whatever locations you put on your wedding website.

With the hotel cancellations, I'd say there shouldn't be anything to worry about. Most hotels give guests a 24-48 hour period prior to their check-in where they can cancel free of charge. If you are having hotel blocks for your wedding, make sure you know that hotel's cancellation policy and pass it on to your guests; even though they will receive that information with their confirmation when they book. Some hotels may even have updated their policy due to COVID-19, so just make sure you get the most current information from them. I work in the contract's department of a timeshare company and I'm based at a resort. I know our resort's policy with our cancellations has become very lenient since COVID-19 started.

I think it's a great idea to add a disclaimer, and think Kaysey has good wording as well!

It seems like most hotels are being very upfront with their opening status and still have very generous cancellation policies, but seeing the disclaimer is a good reminder for everyone to double-check before booking!

I’d say just call the hotels and verify with them if they’re open and what’s their policies as of now, in order to do A room block most hotels require at least 10 rooms. If you don’t think you’ll need that many then instead of doing a block just have a couple of hotels listed on you’re website that your guest can look at & book themselves , having the hotels number & addresses on your site would be helpful

Thanks, everyone!! All of the responses were super helpful and made me feel much better about what info to include on our site!!
