Hotel Room Blocks

nslusark · February 2010

Hello All,

I am getting married in September in the Scranton area. Reception is in Dickson City. I need to block off about 10-15 rooms for out of town guests. I am looking for a nice hotel but would like to keep costs down for my guests. Any suggestions are appreciated!

I have nothing specific, but just want to say/ask:

1. If the venue is part of a hotel, choose that one. Regardless of cost. People can always get a hotel elsewhere if they cost is prohibitive, but many people would appreciate who convenient it is.

2. If it's not, choose something really close to the reception, not the ceremony. It makes more sense to drive a little ways in the afternoon before the party and a short distance at the end of the night than the other way around.

3. Not sure who the 10-15 rooms are for, but if it's close family/friends, maybe consider a small shuttle to take them to the hotel so that they can stay and really enjoy the reception without worry about weather/traffic/drinking.

There is a Fairfield Inn and a Residence Inn right in Dickson City. It's very easy to get started, just give either (or both) a call and tell them you need a block of rooms for a wedding. They will tell you the special rate they can offer your guests and ask you the types of rooms you may be interested in. Here are the phone numbers. HTH
