Thankyou

we booked yday and they want us to pay £198 for the bridal suite for 2 nights but if i waited 3 weeks and booked at the wedding fayre i would only have to pay for one night as i would get the room for free the wedding night for booking that day so save me £99 :mad:

Oh I see, maybe you can try to negotiate this with them?

Good news about booking it!!

I'd have a chat with them and ask if they can drop the charge. Explain that you had to book now to guarantee your date and time so couldn't wait until the bridal fayre.

If you don't ask, you don't get, and they can only say No! xx

Include that is is such a special date because it is 7 year anniversary too.

Congratulations on booking the date

You'll just have to find something else for them to drop the price of

That is mean of them though, I wouldn't have paid the deposit until they would take one nights cost off! x

i would but its costing us half price coz of there special offer (£1500 for everything) so seems cheeky coz you get it included in the higher packages elsewhere but thats like an extra £2000 lol we havent paid deposti yet i emailed them 3 times asking and felt silly in the end-like theyll be thats her next time im there or theyll do something to do wrong lol plus oh kept telling me to leave it and just book it-even though i tol him would eat into HIS honeymoon fund but i have actually looked before and up to now it shouldnt make much dif to the budget and i had overpriced for chair covers lol plus cheaper then a car (didnt wana pay £200+ for 20 mins haha im sounding right tight fisted now arent i:rotfl:

They didn't take a deposit from you? That's odd! When are you meant to pay one?

And No, you don't sound tight lol xx
