Which is Right for Your Destination Wedding?

When planning a destination wedding, one of the biggest decisions couples face is how to organize accommodations for their guests. At LovinAway, we offer two options to make the process seamless: Room Blocks and Flex Groups. Both options have unique advantages, and choosing the right one depends on your wedding vision, guest count, and flexibility needs.

Room Blocks

A Room Block is the traditional approach for securing rooms at a resort, ensuring guaranteed availability and locked-in rates for a set number of rooms. This option is ideal for couples who want to provide their guests with a streamlined booking process, price consistency, and added perks. Here at LovinAway, we have a whole team dedicated to negotiating the very best rates and amenities for our couples.

Flex Groups

A Flex Group offers more flexibility by allowing guests to book at their convenience, often with dynamic pricing based on availability at the time of booking. This option is great for couples who prefer a more relaxed approach without a formal commitment to a set number of rooms. While there may be variations in pricing and availability, Flex Groups allow guests to book when it works best for them while still receiving the benefits of group travel planning.
