Can I Get The Discount On My Venue?

I booked my wedding two months ago and paid the deposit. I checked their website of the venue this morning only to discover they are having a wedding fair this weekend and if you book your wedding on Sunday you get 20% off! Is there anything I can do?

Answer:

That would be wonderful if you could get 20% off. You should call the person who you booked the venue with and ask them if you would be able to get the discount. I'm sure if you ask nicely, then they would accommodate you.

Alternatively, if you've signed a contract, check to see what the penalties are for cancelling. If the discount is larger than the deposit you’ve given, you have the option of cancelling and then re-booking on Sunday in order to get the additional discount. I would only recommend this if the 20% savings is a substantial amount over the deposit that you have already given. I hope you’re able to get the discount, it would be great for your wedding budget.
