JC Room Blocks is a phenomenal business! I wouldn't suggest having a wedding without using them. We only had one hotel that we were dealing with, and Catherine made the experience seamless. Honestly, I don't know what I would do without them. You don't have any idea of the nuisances of dealing with hotels, contracts, links to your wedding site, the discounted blocks that they can navigate etc until you try to do it on your own. If I could give them 100 stars I would. read more

Catherine made setting up our wedding room block so easy and stress-free. From the very beginning, Catherine was quick to respond, super organized, and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was handled. She answered all my questions (and there were a lot!), helped us secure great rates for our guests, and made the whole process so smooth. I truly appreciated how kind, patient, and professional she was -- it felt like she genuinely cared about making sure our friends and family were taken care of. Thanks to her, one big piece of the wedding planning puzzle was completely worry-free! I'd highly recommend working with Catherine to anyone -- she made what could've been a stressful task feel effortless. read more

My wife and I absolutely loved working with Catherine. I personally work in the wedding industry and the service JC Room Blocks provided wasn't something I had thought about prior. Wow was it a great decision to have them help us! We had nearly half of our guests coming from abroad for our wedding last fall. Catherine and her team made everything so seamless for us and our guests. They helped from start to finish to give us great options for us that truly fulfilled our needs. The guests had a great experience with the hotel and Catherine even helped to make sure the shuttle for our guests to our wedding venue was all scheduled and ready to go. We are truly thankful for all that Catherine did to make sure everything went smooth for our wedding weekend. Thanks Catherine! - Ricky and Cinthya Hayes read more

My mother and I both used JC Room Blocks for our weddings (she got remarried a couple of years ago near OldTown Alexandria, VA, my wedding was this past June near Charlottesville, VA). They do all the work for you, from reviewing and negotiating hotel room block contracts & rates for your wedding guests to assisting if there are any issues at all. With all the other aspects of the wedding bogging down my to-do list, it was a huge help to have JC Room Blocks manage this portion of the wedding. They are extremely reasonably priced, very responsive, and generally just fantastic to work with. No matter what your budget is, you can't afford not to hire them to help with your room blocks for your wedding! read more

JC Room Blocks - Travel Services Near Me

Seriously, the BEST! Full service of amazingness!! They start with an informational 30min call to see what your list of must-haves, nice-to-haves, and unacceptable for you and your guests' accommodations. Then they bring back all the hotel research from within the area you selected with Pro/Con lists (my type-A personality loved this!). They'll contact the hotels and negotiate better options for your room block, sometimes with free perks. Then they'll keep you informed each week (or as often as you ask) an update of who has booked in your room block. - And if anything is wrong, or for some reason a guest is having issues booking by phone or missed the cut off deadline; you just email JCRoom blocks and within 24hours all has been corrected - they handle all reservation problems. All this work for only $30! Absolutely worth it!! read more

JC Room Blocks offers an invaluable service. I was referred to them by a friend of a friend who had used them for their wedding. I was skeptical. Before I made a decision, my MOH and I spent a Friday afternoon calling around to some local hotels near my wedding to no avail. I went ahead and paid the small fee to JC Room Blocks after a phone conversation with Jenny. Not only did they compile a list of local hotels in about a week for me to compare, they also got me some pretty good deals. The hotel we ended up picking was purchased by another company just as we booked our block. Good news for us: they renovated the whole hotel! Bad news: their system was a hot mess. Our block wasn't showing up properly. I had to work closely with Catherine to make sure our guests were booked. With all the kerfuffle, JC Room Blocks were able to negotiate some extra perks. For example, the hotel offered us a nice suite for the same price as a regular king in our room block and they allowed my husband to check in early so the groomsmen could get ready. I was so, so happy to not have to deal with all this. I would highly recommend JC Room Blocks to the busy bride-to-be. read more

Jenny Hill and Shannon Riggs of JC Room Blocks made the entire process of coordinating and keeping track of room blocks ridiculously easy. We were planning a destination wedding during peak wedding season and they helped us navigate the craziness. They provided us with several options in our area across different budgets, and sent us a cheat sheet for each hotel clearly outlining cost, policies, bonus offerings, minimum stays etc. Once we made our selection, they coordinated directly with the hotel to secure the block and gave us all the information we needed to include on our invitations for our guests. Leading up to the wedding, they sent us regular emails keeping us updated on how many spots were left on each of our room blocks and the guests who had booked at each. The process could not have been easier and the communication was always consistent and clear. Honestly, at $50 it was the best value for money decision we made for our wedding. We strongly recommend that you use JC Room Blocks to give yourself the piece of mind that your guest accommodations are handled! read more

I was searching for a good way about negotiating room blocks for our guests for our wedding this past May and was doing a google search and was so happy I came across JC Room Blocks. After reading some of the reviews on WeddingWire and reading more about the business on their website, I decided to work through them to help arrange a room block for our guests and we are so glad we did. Jenny and Catherine are the owners of this great business and did a great job of explaining the process through our first phone call and helped answer any questions we had. From here, we moved on to email communication and helped setup our first room block in one of the local Pasadena hotels. As we were getting closer, we began hearing comments from our guests saying the hotel may be undergoing renovations and that water was going to be shut off. I decided to contact Jenny and Catherine once again to see what we could do about this. After a couple of emails back and forth, Catherine helped move our block to another hotel and was still able to get us a great price with less than two weeks to our wedding day. I was amazed with their level of service and attentiveness to our needs and concerns. We never received a "no" or "its too late" and they did their best to make the transition as smooth as possible. Jenny and Catherine - thank you so much for your help coordinating our block and we are so glad you helped our guests obtain the best prices as possible. All our guests were happy with their accommodations and we received no complaints! read more

JC Room Blocks was fantastic for my wedding! We live/were married in Seattle so they handle hotels all over. They completely took care of everything. After our first meeting they sent me a list with hotels that met all of my needs and confirmed everything with the one we chose. They even worked in a comped room for our wedding night. About once a month (and then week as it got closer) they sent an update on who had booked rooms. I honestly didn't have to worry about a thing! read more

They also send updates to you about how many people have blocked out rooms. If I have any questions about the hotel, they will reach out on my behalf. THEY ARE AMAZING.

Jenny and Catherine made the process to find and book our room blocks completely pain free and easy. All it took was $30, one 30 minute phone call and few emails back and forth.

Prior to planning my wedding, I had absolutely no idea how hellish it is to try and reserve a block of rooms. I figured I'd call a local hotel, speak to someone kind who wanted to accept the money I was offering them, we'd sign a pain-free contract, and my friends would have a place to sleep off their hangover the night after my wedding. Not so much. Hotels do not call you back, rarely respond to email queries, and when you do hear from them, the contracts they offer all end with you owing them $9,000 if you don't fill 20 rooms by a certain date. Enter JC Room Blocks. Our friend recommended them and they were they biggest help. You set up a phone call with them, you describe the type and location of the hotels you might be looking for, and they get back to you within ten days with a whole list of options. They talk you through all of the hotel contracts, help you make the right decision, they design inserts with the hotel info for your invites, and they send reminder emails to your guests. And I believe their fee was $30. I was completely blown away by the quality of their services. Do yourself a favor - use JC Room Blocks and cut your stress levels down significantly! They are a complete life saver! read more

These ladies are truly amazing! They are always quick to respond, worked with me when I wasn't quite sure what I wanted and got us a great deal for a room block at a local hotel. They helped work with me and the hotel when issues were arising with the online booking site and got things cleared up quickly. It it worth every penny and more! They took a huge thing off of my ever growing wedding to-do list so I could feel at ease. They also suggested a fantastic travel agent for our honeymoon. I would recommend them to any bride! read more

Jenny and Catherine are amazing! They recommended the Hotel Normandie to my fiance and I for our wedding weekend. We ended up doing our hotel block with the Normandie, and were able to have our rehearsal dinner on their beautiful rooftop and use their facilities to get ready the day of. Jenny and Catherine were available every step of the way and were more than happy to answer all of my many questions. I don't know where we would have ended up without them, and I can't thank them enough! read more

JC Room Blocks is incredible! For a tiny fee, these ladies, help you select hotels, negotiate room discounts and then track your guest registrants weekly. They also help reserve getting ready rooms, etc. They are communicative, warm, friendly and take all the stress out of the hotel situation. We used them for Charleston, SC and I can't recommend them enough! read more

JC Room Blocks was a life saver! With the zillion things a couple needs to do to plan a wedding, negotiating with individual hotels for groups rates was not something we could take on, particularly for an out-of-town wedding. Catherine and others on the team did the leg work for us at a reasonable cost, and were able to find hotels and rates we would not have been able to do on our own. They were extremely professional and responsive through the planning process as well as our wedding weekend. Could not have done it without them. Thank you! read more

JC Room Block was amazing. They helped me find the perfect hotel for my guests and they were there if there were any issues with the hotel. They kept me updated about who had booked a room so I could remind my family! I would recommend them to anyone. I had no idea how to do a room block and get best deal for my guests. They made the whole process so easy! They were also quick to respond with any questions I had. read more

We hired JC Room Blocks early on in our wedding planning to help us in setting up hotel blocks for our wedding guests, and it was probably one of our best unplanned investments during the entire planning phase. For a very low cost, Jenny and Catherine did all of the work to research hotels in our area, after which they sent us a report with cost and amenity comparisons. Seriously, it could not have been any easier. These two women know exactly what to look for in a hotel and they saved us a significant amount of time and energy. Once we picked the hotels for which we wanted room blocks, they not only kept us updated with guest lists at each hotel, but they also created a custom email that was automatically sent to our guests on a regular basis to remind them to book their rooms if they had yet to do so. My wife and I highly recommend JC Room Blocks for anyone who needs to set aside rooms for their guests! read more
