What happens next?

We went to the venue which we really liked the look of and seen it all set up for a wedding and we both love it.

They have held the date we want for a couple more days to think it over, but we're sure it's the place for us.

When I asked about deposits they advised it would take £750 to secure the date, with a further £1000 paid 12 months before the day which would need to be paid this Oct. we have the money now so ideally would like to pay it all off, but I don't know if this is a good idea.

Also when do contracts get signed? When we pay the deposit or when the next amount is paid? As we're selecting an all inclusive package, if there are any changes we want do we need to state these now before we sign contracts? Am soo confused and wish I'd asked this earlier!

Thanks

Em xx

You should have the contract before paying the deposit! You don't want to give them any money if you don't know what you are signing up to as there may be certain aspects of the contract you are not happy with or things you want written into the contract. (e.g we were told we would be given a complimentary room on our wedding night but when we came to signing the contract this was not included so we got them to add it)

Usually when you sign a contract you are agreeing to a minimum price/guest number then any extras are usually confirmed anything up to a month or two before the wedding (depending what the contract says)

Personally in the current financial climate I would hold off making any payments until the due date just encase any suppliers etc go bust.

If you have wedding insurance in place, you could go ahead and pay it all but what's the incentive? Are they knocking any more off if you paid in full? If not, you might be better sticking the rest in an ISA account and earn some interest on it.
