We recommend that if possible, both bride and groom will be involved in the decision making and interviews. Let the one who is best at it do all the negotiations.
Whether you interview potential wedding guests in person or by phone, have a note pad and pen handy, to write down important information and questions that may arise during your interview. If you interview them by email, print every communication and keep it in a folder.
QUESTIONS FOR THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE LODGING FACILITY:
How long have you been accommodating wedding parties?
How many wedding clients have you served?

* If you plan your reception to take place at a bed and breakfast, resort or hotel, it is most likely that they will accommodate your stay for the night before and / or the night after the wedding. If you ask, you'll find out that many hotels and resorts provide bridal accommodations as part of the package, although it may be presented as their wedding gift to the newlyweds.
** Some resorts and hotels offer a free room for every so many rooms.
(For every X number of rooms you get one free.)
You made your choice! Now you need to receive a written contract signed by the person in charge, and dated .
The contract MUST include all of your responsibilities and all of the responsibilities, warranties and guarantees offered by the facility.
Caveat Emptor – Buyer beware! Read each contract very carefully, on, under and above the line. Be sure that you understand it fully and agree with all the terms. If you have questions, concerns, or are uncertain, contact them for clarification.
In most parts of the USA you have 3 days to examin the contract and if you need to, cancel without penalties.
