I'm not sure if I should start a new thread for this, so I'll start with this and go from there: I'm currently planning a destination wedding for next year, and I had a question about travel agents. I've never used a travel agent before - would using one save me (and my guests) money? Or is it assumed that by using a travel agent the costs will be a little higher, with the benefit being I don't have to deal with any planning? My priority is getting the lowest hotel rates for me and my guests. With the first agent we talked to, the rates she gave us were much higher than the rates we were able to find by talking to the hotels directly. She is asking for us to send her the rates that the hotel gave us, but I'm hesitant to do that since A) It feels like I'm doing her job for her, and B) I don't want to sour my potential deal with a hotel by giving the rates to a travel agent. Also, it's funny to read in this thread (I think it was in this thread) how travel agents get basically zero commission from airline bookings. It explains why when we talked to this agent about airline booking, her response was basically "Rates change so fast you should just keep checking and book it yourself when you see a rate you like."
