Group and Event Travel Planning - Marriott Rewards and wedding planning

I am going to have my wedding reception at a Renaissance and wanted to make sure I maximize the points I can get for hosting the event.

Are there any tricks or bonuses for event planning?

Any help would be great.

Congrats are in order :)

Contact the events sales manager of that property and make sure you ask about receiving Marriott Reward points as an incentive. For a wedding party I would expect 10K min. but if it's a large wedding party I would expect more.

Please report back.

You can earn up to 50,000 bonus points for holding an event, including a wedding. Points are given out at 3 for every dollar spent. Here (http://www.marriott.com/meetings/rewards/travel.mi) is a link with more details. There are tabs to the left for weddings and general information for all event planning.
