Hi Ladies!
Did all of you use a travel agent to book your stay? How did that work for you? Would you recommend anyone? Did they get you a good discount or group rates for your guests? Did they handle booking all of your guests?

you may want to contact TA Maureen. she is a travel agent on the forum and also got married at ROR so she knows the wedding and travel aspect of planning a DW at ROR.

I am using a travel agent from my town. I would definately recommend getting one. She is booking all of our guests anytime, so no worries for me! She also handles all of our other travel needs, i.e. airport to resort.

We used a TA that was local to us. She worked close with the carrier to make sure we got the best possible price. She was able to tell us when the fuel surcharge was about to be applied and we booked prior to this. we may not have know otherwise.
She contacted chandlyn directly (she had done other weddigs there) and reserved our requests (Mammee Bay, Seagrape Bar) well in advance of the 2 months or so that Chandlyn works with you (we booked 11 months in advance).
Every 2 weeks or so, she contacts the carrier for a new price to see if we can get it decreased.
She deals with all the guests payments and makes sure everything is up to par.
I'd have to say the best thing is her willingness to contact the WC directly cause that helped us get the facilities we wanted!
I vote for a TA all the way!
