Frequently asked questions

What should I compare when choosing where to house out-of-town guests for my Grand Rapids wedding?
Compare the number of guest rooms, the size and flexibility of on-site event space, and proximity to your ceremony or reception venue. The JW Marriott Hotel Grand Rapids offers 336 rooms and 20 event spaces, while the Amway Grand Plaza has 684 rooms and 28 event spaces. Both give you options for getting-ready suites, welcome gatherings, and day-after brunches all under one roof.
How far ahead should I book a hotel room block for my wedding in Grand Rapids?
Reserve your room block six to twelve months before your wedding date, especially if you're planning a summer or fall celebration. Popular properties fill quickly during peak wedding season. Booking early gives your guests time to make travel plans and ensures everyone stays together.
How does billing work when I reserve a block of rooms for wedding guests?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing so you can manage costs in one place, with multiple payment options and no membership fee. For a block of nine or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking. If you need eight rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve through the platform.
What makes a hotel work well for both the reception and guest accommodations?
A hotel with substantial on-site event space means your ceremony, reception, and guest rooms are all in one location. The Amway Grand Plaza features the Ambassador Ballroom at about 8,800 square feet with capacity for up to 1,150 people, and the JW Marriott offers the International Ballroom at about 12,000 square feet for up to 1,500 guests. On-site rooms also give you built-in getting-ready space and simplify logistics for everyone.
Can Engine help with both the guest-room block and booking the reception space at these hotels?
Yes. For nine or more guest rooms, Engine Groups manages your room block. The hotel's event and reception space can be searched and booked through Engine Spaces, Engine's marketplace of hotel meeting and event spaces, or you can arrange it directly with the property. Catering, coordination, and other wedding services are handled with the hotel or your vendors separately.
Why don't you show rates for these hotels?
Hotels give Engine rates they only allow us to show business travelers, so a public page cannot list them. Create a free account with your work email to see them.
Is Engine free?
Yes. An Engine account is 100% free and without commitment, and you can leave anytime. Sign up with your work email.
