depending on the location i think $1000-1500 range is typical for an AI 4+* resort. anything more than that you will find guests really complaining.
we choose not to do a group rate quote because they were asking for $500 more per person compared to if we went online and booked the trip individually. i didn't think that was fair to ask our guests to pay that much more money.
it may mean a few less people might come to our wedding because they had to find their own travel arrangements, but i think spending a few minutes online booking yourself or calling a travel agent is worth it over spending that much more money so we could all fly together on the same trip.
so far most of our guests have been happy we did it that way, they all found great deals and got to pick & choose which dates to travel and what city to fly out of.
good luck! i can't believe it was more with a group rate, i always thought you were suppose to get a deal that way! any idea why it was more expensive?
