Negotiating with venue

5 Posts
Hi All
I'm wondering if anyone has managed to successfully negotiate with a wedding venue?
Have got a quote for November midweek wedding next year so going out of season and in the week, I know I could get a better deal if I waited until nearer the time to book but I would rather get it all booked.
It's my dream venue and the price isn't too outrageous compared to others but I am on quite a restrictive budget.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could negotiate a better deal or are venues quite strict on their pricing?
Thanks

With the venue we went for (a family run hotel) the evening buffet options seemed pricey (and not really what we wanted). After talking this through they offered a buffet to our wants and on a flat price not per head. The saving was about £1500. It did take a few emails and a face to face meeting with the manager to sort but was well worth it.
We just chose somewhere that matched our budget and they did a tremendous job.
