Points for each room night, regardless if you or your guest is paying for it

10 Elite Nights when you book 10+ guest rooms for at least one night

Instant Silver Elite status or Elite Night credit towards your next level up
Working with a colleague? You can split your earnings – up to 50,000 points – if you’re both Rewards members."

(the 50k are on top of room-based points)

so, say, for a wedding with 100 people staying in 50 rooms, you'd get

- points for 50 room-nights
- 50k bonus points as long as the event costs 16.7k+ (which, with 50 rooms and wedding planning, it might?)
- 10 Elite night bonus

Not sure on the CC spend, but you SHOULD get the 5p/$ on your entire spend - don't quote me on this though

You'll get points for all the rooms booked, but you'll (pretty sure) only get elite-qualifying nights for up to 2 (or 3? I don't remember what the maximum of consecutive rooms-stay-credit is)

There;s also this link with more info: http://www.marriott.com/meeting-even...ls/weddings.mi
I could be reading this wrong, but I think it is 50k points total for the entire event, inclusive of the rooms. Meaning you don't get the 50k + room points.

Meaning if you spend $100k on the event and another $100k with the rooms, you will still be limited at the 50k points maximum.

I could be wrong and anyone who knows for sure or can confirm should jump in.
