The only issue sometimes with Expedia and Travelocity is that often when you book a hotel; you have to pre-pay for the entire trip. So that means if your trip isn't for months, you have to pay for the hotel now. And let's say you get to the hotel and it sucks, you cannot check out early without losing all of your money.
I don't think that would apply in your case, so have at it. The only thing with a friend's wedding is you might want to check with the friend. Sometimes the travel agent has busted their butt to make everything right on the special day; knowing the reward will come in all the other travel she will book. Often too the wedding party gets a discount by having X number of people book through the agent.
