Frequently asked questions
How does billing work when I reserve a block of hotel rooms for my wedding guests in Aurora?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you can see all guest bookings in one place and manage costs more easily. You'll have multiple payment options to choose from, and there's no membership fee to use the platform. This makes it simpler to keep track of your room block without juggling separate bills or extra charges.
How far in advance should I book hotel rooms for out-of-town wedding guests?
Most couples start securing their room block six to nine months before the wedding, especially for popular dates like summer weekends. Booking earlier gives your guests more time to plan travel and often means better availability at the hotels you prefer. If you're planning a wedding during a busy season in Aurora, reaching out even earlier can help you lock in the right property.
What should I compare when deciding where to put my wedding guests?
Look at each hotel's proximity to your ceremony and reception venues, the number of guest rooms available, and whether the property has event space if you're hosting any wedding activities on-site. For example, Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center offers 1501 rooms and 5 event spaces, while The Benson Hotel & Faculty Club has 106 rooms and 6 event spaces. You'll also want to compare amenities like breakfast options, parking, and shuttle services to make the stay convenient for everyone.
Should I choose a hotel close to the ceremony or one that's more convenient for the wedding party?
It depends on your priorities. If most guests are traveling from out of town, a hotel near the airport or central to Aurora may be easier for arrivals and departures. If your ceremony and reception are at the same venue or nearby, choosing a hotel within a short drive can reduce stress on the big day and make transportation simpler for everyone.
How do I book a block of rooms for out-of-town guests attending my wedding?
If you need nine or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking for you. For eight rooms or fewer, you can book the block yourself through Engine's platform. Either way, you'll have access to pre-negotiated rates and the ability to manage your reservations in one place, making it easier to coordinate accommodations for your guests.
