Fortunately, Equally Wed Preferred Vendor, Engaged Sourcing, an expert in hotel block sourcing and management, is here to simplify the process while offering a personalized approach. Founded in August 2020, this innovative company, led by owner Kye Lyles (he\/him), serves couples across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.A Free and Comprehensive ServiceEngaged Sourcing stands out by providing couples with a 100% free service for sourcing, contracting, and managing hotel room blocks.

Whether it\u2019s troubleshooting last-minute changes or guiding couples through lodging decisions, their expertise is unmatched.As Kye explains, “Being that we specifically assist couples with room blocks and many facets of room blocks revolve around other areas of travel (flights, rental cars, shuttle schedules, bad weather, etc.), we get a lot of last minute modifications and thrive in ‘working on the fly.’ Those times can be the most stressful, for guests and couples, so we have multiple designated ‘go to’ people on the team to assist, respond, and make things happen. Plus, we have years of experience and amazing connections in the lodging industry that help ensure the process is uninterrupted on all fronts!”Hotel Monaco Denver | Engaged SourcingStanding Out in the IndustryEngaged Sourcing takes their commitment to the environment and the impact created by the wedding travel industry very seriously. They have an amazing partnership with Veritree, creating a commitment to plant mangroves in Kenya and kelp for seaforestation in the British Columbia, each project assisting with carbon sequestering. For reference, the commitment equates to 1,200 trees and 2,000 kelp quarterly in year one.Inclusive and Affirming for AllAs an LGBTQ+ inclusive business, Engaged Sourcing ensures that all couples feel welcome and represented. Their efforts include using inclusive language, showcasing diversity in marketing materials, and partnering with organizations like Equally Wed, WIPA, etc.Expert Tips for CouplesPlanning lodging for a wedding? Kye offers these invaluable tips:Don\u2019t fear attrition clauses \u2013 They\u2019re often less intimidating than they seem.Ask for all the “freebies” \u2013 Perks like complimentary upgrades might be available if you inquire.
