ARRANGE FOR A HOTEL BLOCK
If you will have several out-of-town guests attending, you may want to reserve a “hotel block”. If you have a small number of guests traveling from out-of-town, simply refer two or three hotels nearby for your guests to select between. Most hotels have shuttles that may be able to transport guests to and from the wedding as well.
