What happens if the wedding resort overbooks or cancels?
In reality, overbooking rarely affects wedding groups—especially when bookings are made through a room block with Paradise. While resorts may occasionally overbook standard reservations, wedding groups are handled differently.
From experience, Paradise has not seen cases where wedding guests arrive and are turned away due to overbooking.
Here’s why:
Wedding groups are tied to a confirmed event
All guests are linked under one booking reference
Resorts prioritize keeping wedding guests on-site
In general travel scenarios, if a resort is overbooked, they may relocate guests to:
A sister property within the same brand
A nearby comparable resort
However, this typically applies to:
Individual bookings
Third-party reservations (e.g., online travel sites)
Not wedding groups.
Key Takeaway:
Wedding groups booked through a room block are prioritized—overbooking issues almost never affect them.
