[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Airbnb host here -- I would never call a guest except in an emergency situation where I wanted to give them the opportunity to make other arrangements because of some situation at the property.

Since this is a relatively new host and apparently a very nice property, I'm guessing the host is nervous and just wants to make sure you're not planning to host some rave.

I would write back through the app and state your preference for keeping communication on the record. Assure the host somehow that you are just coming for a wedding and will respect the property. Ask if there is anything else he wanted to tell you and, if so, please send it through the system.

This makes sense to me as a frequent Airbnb guest  who has stayed at over a dozen places over the past 5 years.  I've never spoken to a host on the phone -- and only once met two hosts in person, when we stayed in properties near the host's home (both were lovely people, BTW).  OP, I agree with the advice above -- keep communications through the app.  But, that said, you seem a tad stressed about this and  I'd advise you to try not to get into a swivet.  [/quote]
