Frequently asked questions
Yes, some Worcester hotels arrange or recommend group transportation for wedding guests. Typical options include shuttles or sprinter vans for airport pickups and venue transfers. Worcester Regional Airport is about 5 miles from central Worcester, and Boston-Logan roughly 50 miles, so timing and pricing vary by property and date. Ask if they use local charter partners, minimum hours, and whether multiple stops are allowed. In Massachusetts winters, add buffer time. Transport is usually an added cost, though some packages tie it to room blocks on select dates.
Often, yes-you can add rooms to your block if the hotel still has inventory for your dates. The original rate might not extend to added rooms, and availability tightens as the cutoff approaches. Most hotels require a minimum of nine rooms to form a block. Courtesy blocks are flexible; contracted blocks carry deadlines and attrition. Start with about 10-20% fewer rooms than your guest count, then add if RSVPs surge. Ask whether added rooms keep the group rate and how close they'll be to your main block.
