WHere do I go next? We have not contacted a travel agent b/c I don't know who to call but I am working on it.

I think you should contact a TA. I got my room block and I had to pay only a couple hundred per room, not the entire stays worth. I think if you went through a room block, you'd only have to pay around 5000-7000 total.

In addition to that, you don't actually pay that towards your guest's rooms, you can apply that to the cost of your wedding reception if you want.

Recommendations for a Ta?
