For couples with a resort room block
Fill the room block before the resort releases it.
Guests choose garden view or ocean view, pay a deposit and the rest monthly, and every plan ends before your cutoff. You see who's booked and who's just said “we'll be there.”
Free for couples. Guests pay one 6% fee on top.
What this page is for
The resort gives you a block of rooms and a release date. Until then, guests who say they're coming and guests who've paid look the same. SquadTrip turns each room category into a package, puts guests on a plan that ends before the release date, and shows you who's actually in, so you release the rooms you don't need instead of paying attrition on them.
Forty RSVPs. Twenty-two deposits. One release date.
“We're coming” isn't a booking
A booking with a deposit is a yes. Everything else is a maybe.
The room list lives in a spreadsheet
Guests choose their room category and pay toward it. The list builds itself.
Unused rooms cost you after the cutoff
See exactly how many rooms are booked before the cutoff and release the rest.
The couple becomes the collections desk
Cards are charged on the date. Reminders come from SquadTrip, not from the bride.
How it works
How it works for a room block
- 1
Build the page from the resort's block sheet.
Upload the contract or type the room categories and group rates. The AI builds the page with packages, the schedule and a plan. Link it from your wedding website.
- 2
End the plan before the release date.
A deposit at save-the-date, monthly payments, and a last payment two weeks before the resort's cutoff.
- 3
Send one link with the invitation.
Guests pick a room, pay the deposit, and the rest charges monthly. A late RSVP gets a plan that still ends on time.
Paid up before the cutoff
Every guest, and the cousin who booked in May, finishes on July 1, six weeks before the resort releases the block.

Everything a room block needs
Room categories as packages
Garden, ocean, single, each with the group rate and the number of rooms in the block.
Plus-ones, diets and flights at booking
Collected at checkout so the planner has them without a form.
Add-ons for the extras
Catamaran day, welcome-dinner guests, airport transfer, each priced separately.
Guests pay their own way
Card with a plan, or Klarna, Afterpay and Affirm. You're never the bank.
See who's actually in
Booked and paid, on a plan, behind, and which room category. Export for the resort's rooming list and your planner.

Room-block questions, answered
How do I collect payments for a destination wedding room block?
Create a package for each room category at the group rate, set a deposit and a plan that ends before the release date, and share the link from your wedding website.
Can guests pay for their room in installments?
Yes. Cards are charged automatically, with a reminder five days before each payment.
How do I know which guests have paid before the release date?
The dashboard shows every guest's booking and payment status. Count booked rooms and release the rest.
Does the resort still hold the block?
Yes. SquadTrip collects from guests; you or your planner pay the resort under your contract. Many couples put the resort's rooming list together from the export.
What about guests who want to book directly with the resort?
You can run both. The booking page is for guests who want the group rate with a payment plan; the export tells the resort who's in.
Can we collect plus-ones, dietary needs and flight times?
Yes, as questions at checkout.
What does it cost?
Nothing for the couple. Guests pay one 6% fee on top. On a $1,450 room a guest pays $1,537 and you receive $1,450.
