One-stop convenience
Catering, bar, AV, coordination, and guest rooms — everything is handled by one team. Dramatically less vendor management.
Guest accommodations
Out-of-town guests stay at the venue. No transportation logistics, no late-night rides — just elevator rides to their rooms.
Professional staff
Hotel event teams manage hundreds of events per year. They anticipate problems before they happen.
Getting-ready suites
Bridal party prep rooms, groomsmen lounges, and the couple's wedding night suite are typically included or discounted.
Less personalization
Hotel ballrooms can feel generic. You're working within their existing aesthetic and layout rather than creating from scratch.
Food and beverage minimums
Hotels typically require $15,000-$50,000 F&B minimums. Fall short and you're paying the difference.
Outside vendor restrictions
Many hotels require their in-house catering and bar. Outside cake, DJ, or florist may incur fees.

| Cost Item | Typical Range | Insider Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Service charge (mandatory) | 20-22% of F&B total | This is NOT a tip — it goes to the hotel. Budget separately for staff gratuities. |
| Room block attrition | $2,000-$8,000 penalty | If fewer guests book rooms than guaranteed, you pay the difference. Set realistic blocks. |
| Cake cutting fee | $5-$12 per person | Hotels charge per-slice if you bring an outside cake. Some waive this for in-house cake orders. |
| Valet parking | $30-$50 per car | Hotel valet is convenient but expensive. Negotiate a flat rate or discounted validation. |
| AV/lighting upgrades | $1,000-$5,000 | Basic AV is included but uplighting, projectors, and custom lighting are extra. |
