Hotel Block - Close to Set...Again

We are very close to having our hotel block confirmed for the wedding - again.  We have had a great experience working the people at Colonial Williamsburg to secure the hotel rooms for our wedding guests.  It's been a bit of a challenge at this point - 3 months out in a tourist town, it's not easy to find one location willing to block 30+ rooms for the wedding.  We've had a few turn us down and others split us between locations.  None are as convenient as the Hospitality House was, but we can't dwell on that - too good to be true.  In the past two weeks we've weighed cost vs proximity to our events vs proximity to local tourist attractions.  It's hard - some of our guests have never been to Williamsburg so proximity to the tourist locations would be nice.  Others of our guests visit regularly, so that isn't as much of a draw.  Regardless, cost has been a consideration.  We think we are in a best of both worlds place now - these are some of the best rates we've found, at least for the standard rooms; the best locations for events and tourist locations; nice/clean rooms.  In the next day or so, we will have the group booking codes for our guests - so stay tuned and check the wedding website:  www.barrthompson.ourwedding.com
