Venue pricing

Stacie, 10 September, 2024 at 13:50 Posted on Planning 1 4
Hiya


We're just over 1 month away from our wedding day and have sent over the final numbers to our venue, however they haven't really reduced our original quote by much. Our estimated numbers were 90 and actual are 84 - so 6 less, but they have only reduced the quote by £120. This would work out at £20 per person which includes a 3 course meal, evening buffet, half bottle of wine plus arrival and toasting drinks per person. It seems very low to me. We have asked for a breakdown of the quote but they have ignored our request and have asked for payment.
Am I being petty and do we just accept the reduction? Or should we go back and ask them to relook at it?

    I would check the terms and conditions of your contract. Our venue will not reduce the cost quoted. They advised us at time of booking to go with the minimal numbers. We were quoted on 80 day and 150 evening. They said if our actual numbers are below this, we would still be charged for 80 day and 150 evening.


    It is likely we will have more guests, which the hotel said they will bill the additional cost on the final payment date.

    My fiancé and I almost canceled our 2023 wedding because our favorite venue raised the price by 60% six months before the date—I was crying, he was furious, and our budget was bursting. To cover the difference, I launched an affiliate program in South Africa within two weeks (I needed quick cash) and found key takeaways . I chose three local networks with instant payouts and offers tailored to the wedding niche. I earned £2,800 in a month, plus we paid extra for the venue, and still had some left over for our honeymoon in Cape Town.

    It’s reasonable to ask for a clear breakdown before paying just like checking your fab balance ensures you know exactly where your money stands. Don’t hesitate to clarify before making the payment.

    I was already nervous that the entire budget would be depleted, and all I could think about was "how to quickly earn extra money without causing a scandal with the coordinator." In the end, I found a solution through Telegram — I launched a simple ad in Mini Apps, and in a couple of weeks, I earned exactly the amount that was bothering me.
