Another sad cancelled wedding question

We're going to a wedding in another part of the country next year, and have paid for 2 nights at the wedding hotel directly, but at a special rate related to the wedding booking. In the very unlikely chance the wedding is called off, we'd still use that room and have a weekend away. I'd not be happy if the hotel refunded the room to the wedding party just because the wedding was cancelled (and there's nothing in our booking T&Cs that would allow for that).

I suspect (hope) any refund to the OP was because they paid it in the first place.

Often hotels will cancel these discounted bookings.

I had a similar situation with a work conference, and the hotel cancelled my room booking when the conference was also cancelled. I had to rebook elsewhere (it was a good discount and I wasn't willing to pay full price!)

Yup, i guess it depends on whether the wedding is booking the whole venue. If so, I suspect the T&Cs would have the rooms cancelled if the event is.
