Tips to make room blocks and events run smoothly
Lock in a single point of contact on both the planner side and the lodge sales side; require written confirmations for guest wristband delivery, F&B minimums, A/V needs and any outdoor-event weather contingencies.
Provide attendees with a clear rooming list and check-in instructions, including reminder that guests must be 21+ to check in and that the property operates cashless; recommend guests bring swimsuits, water shoes and closed-toed shoes for dry activities.
- Ask the sales rep for sample contracts and cancellation/attrition language before signing
- Schedule load-in and registration timing into the pre-function area to avoid peak arrival congestion
- Confirm lifeguard and cabana availability if you plan to reserve poolside space for a private group activity
| Common planner request | Planner question to ask the lodge |
|---|---|
| Rooming list changes | What is the final cut-off and how late can you update names? |
| Catering timelines | Can meals be scheduled in shifts to accommodate swim times? |
| AV and staging | Is built-in A/V included or is a separate rental required? |
