Frequently asked questions
It depends on the type of block and the hotel’s policy. Contracted room blocks often require a deposit, while courtesy blocks usually do not.
Deposit amounts and timelines can vary, and in some cases, they may be negotiable based on your dates and room count. The safest approach is to review the deposit terms in the proposal before you commit, and choose the option that feels comfortable for your wedding plans.
Yes. Start by blocking a realistic number of rooms so you are not overcommitting. As a rule of thumb, couples often block 10 to 20 percent fewer rooms than their total out-of-town guest count who will likely stay in hotels, then adjust as RSVPs come in. For example, if you expect 60 traveling guests to stay overnight, you might start with 48 to 54 rooms, as long as you meet the nine-room minimum.
You can also keep costs down by comparing a few nearby properties, prioritizing hotels that include breakfast and parking, and asking whether a shuttle service option can be added to your proposal (if it’s important for your wedding weekend flow).
Roanoke is an easy “yes” for guest logistics. It’s near DFW Airport and sits by key routes like Highway 114 and Highway 377, which makes arrivals, rental cars, and rideshares straightforward.
It’s also genuinely fun for a wedding weekend. With its reputation as the Unique Dining Capital of Texas, guests have plenty of places to gather for welcome drinks, breakfast, or a casual bite between wedding moments.
Sometimes, yes, but it depends on the hotel and your dates. When you request proposals, you can ask what the hotel is willing to include, and you may be able to negotiate extras like complimentary suite upgrades, welcome bag delivery, or welcome drinks.
It’s best to treat perks as “possible add-ons,” not guarantees. A hotel’s flexibility often comes down to how busy your weekend is and how many rooms you’re blocking (at least nine rooms).
Most couples start the room block process 9 to 12 months before their wedding. That window usually gives you the best mix of availability and pricing, especially in a well-connected area like Roanoke where weekends can book up due to regional travel.
If you’re planning sooner, it can still work. The key is moving quickly and staying flexible on hotel choice or room types. (And remember, hotels typically require a minimum of nine rooms to create a room block.)
