That said, on the website the points for room nights is a separate bullet point under the "earn" section

and that's what I'm most curious about since we expect to have 40+ committed rooms under the wedding block for 2-3 nights -- should be a decent amount of extra points if this is true!
We just had our daughter's wedding at a Marriott. We received 50K bonus points for the event + triple points on a second event (morning brunch for the guests). The brunch points were awarded for the per person event price (not for tax/gratuities). However, we paid for the event with a Marriott Rewards Visa card, so we received 5X points on the entire cost from the credit card. We received bonus points for the rooms we used, but not for any additional guest rooms.
