\"wedding_planning\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With the cost of a wedding ceremony and reception at an average $31,213 nationwide, according to The Knot\u2019s recent Real Weddings Study,\u00a0being silver-tongued and using sneaky savings tactics might seem like the only way to come in under budget. Charisma certainly goes a long way, but even if you\u2019re not a smooth talker, there are negotiating strategies that can get wedding costs down to a reasonable price.<\/p>\n

Before signing a vendor contract, read these eight tips. With careful negotiating, you can save money on your wedding\u00a0\u2014 perhaps even thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0See If You Can Pay in Full<\/h2>\n

Getting your paycheck sooner than later is an ideal scenario for anyone, including vendors. Wedding professionals often provide installment plans for\u00a0their clients, for convenience and as an added benefit<\/a>. But doing your part to make the arrangement advantageous for the vendor is another way to negotiate lower rates.<\/p>\n

Paying your bill in full might give your vendor the opportunity to use the income sooner on business costs, equipment maintenance and more, which could potentially give you more sway to ask for a price adjustment that better suits your budget.<\/p>\n

2. Offer to Pay in Cash<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s important to realize that many wedding vendors are small business<\/a> owners and\u00a0hate incurring extra fees as much as you do. Give them more incentive to cut you a better deal by offering to make<\/a> payments in cash. This can help you and the vendors avoid credit card processing fees and save money.<\/p>\n

Valerie Fishbain, owner of Spread The Love, was a bride who knew the importance of flaunting paper instead of plastic. \u201cWe were never afraid to ask for discounts and even more [of a] discount if we offered to pay with cash,\u201d she said. \u201cWe knew that wedding vendors were used to bargaining.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fishbain also suggested working with vendors on the lowest price they\u2019re willing to offer first, then inquiring about an additional discount for cash payments.<\/p>\n

3. Share Their Competitors\u2019 Offers<\/h2>\n

Cash certainly talks, but another way to encourage vendors to bring down their prices is to be honest about the competition\u2019s quote.<\/p>\n

\u201c[For] every vendor I ended up with, I did research beforehand with a few other vendors and was open about what pricing others gave me,\u201d Isabella Svenson, a recent Los Angeles bride, said. \u201cVendors always went lower [than their competition\u2019s offer].\u201d<\/p>\n

Remember, when being candid about other offers, make sure you\u2019re comparing apples to apples \u2014 the services provided by one vendor should be identical to another\u2019s so your negotiation is seriously considered, instead of disregarded.<\/p>\n

4. Tread Carefully With the Word \u201cWedding\u201d<\/h2>\n

When it comes to\u00a0booking rooms and event spaces at a hotel,\u00a0some couples notice a considerable price disparity\u00a0between a standard special event, like a family reunion or business meeting, and a wedding. Anne Murlowski said that for her wedding, she received a bid of about $500 when she requested rates for \u201ca meeting space, set up theater style.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time, we also requested a quote for a locked price on a room block [and] received a nightly rate that was 50 percent less that of a typical stay at that hotel,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Once rates were locked with a contract, she revealed the intent of the event.\u00a0\u201cWe shared that the event was a wedding when it became time to finalize the details outlined on our online hotel block reservation page for our guests,\u201d said Murlowski.<\/p>\n

But use this approach carefully. Many vendors and venues don\u2019t appreciate sudden event type switches, and you might sour your relationship with the vendor. Murlowski said the hotel was very displeased to find that the meeting room was really for a wedding celebration. Hotel staff admitted that, due to the \u201chigh touch\u201d nature of wedding clients, disclosing the event was for a wedding would have cost her more money from the get go.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn hindsight,\u00a0that probably was not the wisest choice to wait as long as we did,\u00a0because it created some bad blood between us and the hotel,\u201d Murlowski said. \u201cAs a result, they tried to nickel and dime the rest of the booking \u2026 In the end, I\u2019m confident that we still locked the entire ceremony in at a lower rate than if we had shared from the beginning that we were planning to host a wedding. But we might have been better off disclosing our purpose immediately prior to signing the contract.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. Create a Custom Package for Yourself<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re smitten with a particular vendor and haven\u2019t comparison shopped, do\u00a0what Ashley Feinstein \u2014 a certified money coach and February 2015 bride \u2014 did. Using the vendor\u2019s existing package as a starting point, she took the reins in the\u00a0conversation by creating her own customized package, proposing a total price and sending it back to the vendor.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn some cases we didn\u2019t need everything that the packages had to offer, so we printed out the contract and crossed out everything we didn\u2019t need\u00a0and sent it back with a revised price within our budget,\u201d Feinstein explained. \u201cThe vendor didn\u2019t\u00a0have to do as much, and we didn\u2019t have to pay as much, so it was a win-win.\u201d<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Find a Middle Ground<\/h2>\n

When haggling for a more agreeable price, keep in mind that the chances of getting a fully decked photography package at 85 percent off just because you\u2019re a fan of the photographer\u2019s work is unlikely. It\u2019s important to keep your expectations reasonable when negotiating for a discount. After all, vendors need to pay bills, too.<\/p>\n

Tim Halberg, a professional photographer based in Northern California, said one mother of the bride insisted that he should give her a discount because of the city he lived in.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomehow, because they paid another vendor the same price who lived in a more expensive town, I shouldn\u2019t charge as much,\u201d he said. \u201cIn negotiating for services, \u2018reasons\u2019 for a discount don\u2019t apply the same way they do when shopping a\u00a0used car. Start telling a wedding vendor that their service or product is less than perfect, and you\u2019re likely to offend them.\u201d<\/p>\n

So instead of being firm on an\u00a085\u00a0percent discount, start there, and see where you and the vendor can compromise. Perhaps you don\u2019t need a professional wedding album in your package, and you prefer to only have a select few images edited instead. Approaching the negotiation ready to compromise, rather than throwing a tantrum, might merit a discount from the vendor\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n

7. Offer Your Services in Exchange for Discounts<\/h2>\n

A little ingenuity goes a long way when saving money on wedding costs \u2014 and so do specialized skills. If you have a specific skill or service to offer your vendor, consider bartering your time and knowledge in exchange for a considerable discount.\u00a0Murlowski\u00a0did just this when she offered her professional marketing skills for a huge wedding vendor markdown.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe trade agreement was for digital marketing consulting, specifically search engine optimization,\u201d she said. \u201cObviously, this isn\u2019t a skill that everyone has, but in this instance, my expertise was something of value that I could sell to the vendor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murlowski added, \u201cThe end difference in out-of-pocket cost came to about 80 percent of the cost of the service.\u201d\u00a0With that said, it definitely doesn\u2019t hurt to offer your services to your vendor if it can help you lower the overall price of your wedding.<\/p>\n

8. Be Honest About Your Budget<\/h2>\n

At the end of the day, wedding vendors aren\u2019t mind readers. They won\u2019t be able to work with you on executing your dream wedding if you\u2019re not transparent when it comes to your budget.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem that arises is when someone won\u2019t tell the vendor what they want to spend,\u201d said Halberg. \u201cThat\u2019s my biggest piece of advice to anyone negotiating \u2014 being transparent about budget. It\u2019s the couples who won\u2019t tell me \u2014\u00a0even after I\u2019ve given them my pricing \u2014\u00a0that frustrates me to the point that I often decide I\u2019d rather work with a client who is able to talk through the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Securing a great rate from each of your wedding vendors ultimately requires tact and honesty. Without these elements, you\u2019ve already lost footing in the negotiation process.<\/p>\n
