If you choose to host an event (like your wedding!) at a Marriott property, you can earn 2 points per dollar (or 1 mile per dollar) spent on a qualifying event. These are the six different levels and the maximum points each level can earn when you plan a Marriott wedding or other event: Member: 60,000 points.

Yes, you can earn a significant number of Marriott Bonvoy points by booking a wedding through the Marriott Bonvoy Events program. In 2026, the standard earning rate is 2 points per $1 USD spent on qualifying event expenses, including venue rental, food and beverage, and even audiovisual equipment. You can earn up to a maximum of 60,000 points per event (or more if you hold high-fidelity Elite status). Additionally, you earn one Elite Night Credit for every 20 room nights actualized, up to 20 credits per event, which is a high-value necessity for those aiming for Platinum or Titanium status. To ensure you receive these points, it is a high-fidelity requirement that the "High-Fidelity" event contract includes your Bonvoy membership number and explicitly mentions the points eligibility. For 2026 couples, these points can often cover a significant portion of a high-fidelity honeymoon stay at a Category 7 or 8 property, making the wedding booking a high-value strategic investment in future luxury travel through the Marriott ecosystem.
