Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

My family and I also like the Marquis on Times Square as well. It is a good hotel with a great location (assuming you like Times Square of course.) With that said, Sophiegirl is correct, there may not be a lot of options to lower your rate there. If you haven't yet, go through the list of codes in the first post of this thread and see if any work.

If one or more works and gets the price down for you then great, go with it. If none do, I might suggest searching through this forum for some existing NYC hotel threads. There are a few that may help you find another hotel that may have a cheaper rate and will have a good location as well.

Here are some good starting points for NYC hotels:
