V. annoying. IME, hotels do have different rates for corporate vs private vs non-profit.
yeah, there was a great article about a woman who was planning her wedding reception, and her fiancee called the hotel and said he was planning a business dinner with the exact same parameters and was quoted 10K less.

Heh. The secret upside of no gay marriage?
"NO, REALLY, this is NOT a wedding. Seriously not a wedding. Not at all"
"Sir, you said this wasn't a wedding. It looks like a wedding"
