Wisconsin Dells is a bustling tourist town. There are literally hundreds of places to stay while visiting, retreating, or getting married in Wisconsin Dells. Take advantage of these tips when planning your destination wedding in Wisconsin Dells. Policies, peak/off-peak season rates, and the dreaded two-night minimum can become a hassle unless you plan ahead.
Availability
You can stay at one of the myriad vintage-inspired motels or a waterpark resort when in Wisconsin Dells. At the resorts, you can enjoy water parks amenities year-round, while staying in either a hotel room, condo or cabin. Depending on when you are planning your event, you may run into booking roadblocks simply because of availability. If your wedding or event is scheduled sometime during June – August, then it would be best to plan WAY AHEAD. Hotels and resorts are at the frontline when it comes to great hospitality, so they want to accommodate you and your party – but they have limitations during peak season months.
Room Blocks
If there is availability then there is an opportunity to secure a room block through the group sales department of your chosen hotel or resort. Your group sales contact will likely give you a timeframe to market the room block rate and location to your guests. You will want to make sure your guests know that in this town hotels book up quite quickly. This is important, particularly if you would like your guests to stay in the same complex OR if you want to organize a room block. During the off-peak season in Wisconsin Dells, acquiring a room block for your guests comes more easily and with less stress.
Discounts (and the Two-Night Minimum)
Hotels differ on their policies regarding group rates and discounted room blocks. For example, most hotels in Wisconsin Dells require a two-night minimum during their peak season. However, most will offer a group rate discount of 10% on the two-night stay. Conversely, that same resort will gladly accept room blocks (if there is availability) with no minimum stay during off-peak season months and will also give a discount of 10%. It is best to contact each Group Sales department, find out exactly what their expectations are, and book accordingly. We have compiled a list to get you started here.
