To use a TA or not?

[Sharyn]

I was just wondering how many people are using a travel agent and how many are allowing their guests to book their own travel arrangements? The prices that I am being quoted by a TA are higher than the if the guests waited a couple of months before the wedding to book on their own. I have already booked the wedding date with the resort so that is already taken care of. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you tried searching the forum? There are various threads out there on why/why not to use a TA. Also, you might want to check with the forum TA's b/c most of them were also DW brides.

I will contact a TA to see what they quote and go from there, if the price is fair i will use them and i will put their info in my invitations but i will let my guests know they are welcome to book their stay any way they want, the TA will be there if they don't have time to look around themselves.
