Group Hotel Bookings, Handled

From negotiated room blocks to live hotel rates, VenueConnect gives event planners one place to set up group stays, let attendees book their own rooms, and track pickup as it happens.

Everything Your Group Stay Needs

Whether you've contracted your own room block or want attendees to book at live market rates, it all lives on one booking page.

Room Blocks with Real Control

Set contract dates, cut-off dates, and attrition. Define room types with rates and manage per-night allocations — plus VIP, speaker, and staff sub-blocks with access codes and caps.

Real-Time Hotel Rates

No block? No problem. Show attendees live room rates and availability from hotel booking providers, so they can compare rooms and book online in minutes.

Branded Attendee Booking Pages

Publish a polished booking page for your event with your hotels, dates, and rates. Share one link — or embed it right on your own event website.

Pickup Tracking & Reporting

Watch bookings against your block in one dashboard: pickup versus allocation, pace toward attrition targets, and alerts before cut-off dates sneak up on you.

Hotel-Side Portal

Invite your hotel contacts to a secure portal where they see pickup, review the rooming list with recent changes, flag issues, and export everything to CSV — no more email spreadsheets.

Payment Guarantees

Collect card guarantees securely at booking — cards are vaulted, never charged up front — with deposits and cancellation fees handled through integrated payments.

How It Works

Go from contracted rooms to booked attendees in three steps.

1. Set Up Your Hotels

Add your event's hotels to a booking page — enter your contracted room block details, or switch on live rates and let the market do the work.

2. Share with Attendees

Send one link. Attendees pick their hotel and room, book within your block or at live rates, and manage their own reservations.

3. Track Every Booking

Follow pickup across all your events from one dashboard, keep hotels in the loop through their portal, and stay ahead of cut-off dates.
