I think you should contact a TA. I got my room block and I had to pay only a couple hundred per room, not the entire stays worth. I think if you went through a room block, you'd only have to pay around 5000-7000 total.

In addition to that, you don't actually pay that towards your guest's rooms, you can apply that to the cost of your wedding reception if you want.
