I agree the TA is the way to go! That way no one has to bother you! I still get people calling about stupid things but I just direct them to the TA. Also, you can get a great group rate. I think the minimum is a 10 room block. Not sure if that is TA specific but me & my guests could not find a cheaper rate. We also had to put a deposit down on the rooms BUT if they were not booked by a certain date you would get the money back. If they did book, that money would go to your room or you would get it back. The only downside I can say about my TA is that I have not heard from her AT ALL. Unless I email with a question(she gets right back to me)...not sure if that is a good or bad thing. FI says who cares but I thought I would at least get an email occasionally with a headcount so far etc especially since I have more guests booked then what we thought $$$$$$ for her.... Which reminds me I have to email her to get a list of my guests who has booked. Good luck & happy planning. You will find this site is completely addictive!!
