An industry standard is one room comp'ed per 10. Perhaps you can get them to comp you 4 rooms for the future or treat 4 of your guest? Wouldn't hurt to ask.
Will you get a boatload of points for the F&B & room portion of the wedding?
Best wishes.
I agree it seems bit weak. I should have clarified--We aren't holding the wedding at the hotel, but at another venue nearby. 80% of the attendees live locally, but those flying in need rooms. Most are making a mini-vacation of it, so we've got about 10 rooms for people for 3-5 nights. It's not a huge thing. But you're right, 15K Marriott points won't get me squat. I'll take the AA miles, at least.
