Frequently asked questions
What should I compare when choosing where to book rooms for my wedding guests in Scottsdale?
Start with the number of guest rooms each property offers and how many event spaces they have available. For example, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess has 750 rooms and 43 event spaces, while The Westin Kierland Resort and Spa offers 732 rooms and 37 event spaces. Also compare location, amenities like pools or spas for your guests to enjoy, and whether the property can accommodate both your reception and your room block in one place.
What makes a hotel work well for both the ceremony and guest accommodations?
A good wedding venue combines ample event space for your reception with enough guest rooms to host out-of-town visitors. The Westin Kierland Resort and Spa, for instance, features a large outdoor pavilion and lawns that can accommodate up to 3,601 guests, plus 732 rooms on-site. Many of these properties also offer spaces where you and your wedding party can get ready, though those details vary by hotel and are best confirmed directly with the property.
How does billing work if I book a room block for my wedding?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you can manage payment for your room block in one place rather than collecting from each guest individually. You'll have access to multiple payment options, and there's no membership fee to use the platform. This makes it straightforward to handle the financial side of hosting out-of-town guests for your big day.
How do I reserve a block of rooms for guests coming from out of town?
If you need nine or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking for you. For eight rooms or fewer, you can book directly through Engine's self-serve platform. Either way, you'll have access to pre-negotiated rates and can search and compare options across Scottsdale to find the best fit for your guests.
Can Engine help with both guest rooms and the reception space?
Yes, in two ways. For your guest-room block, Engine Groups handles reservations of nine or more rooms. Separately, the hotel's event and reception space can be searched and booked through Engine Spaces, a free marketplace of hotel meeting and event spaces across the U.S. and Canada, or you can arrange it directly with the hotel. The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, for example, offers a large outdoor lawn space of about 25,000 square feet that can be explored through Engine Spaces.
