It really depends on the venue, and if you're already at the minimum, they may not be willing to waive many fees. I know our venue does not really adjust their set pricing. The only way I was able to get discounts is by actually eliminating stuff from the package (no meat, serve only wine and beer, etc...). If they are a popular venue and feel that they can get someone willing to pay full price, there is not a lot of negotiation room. You can always ask, but if you really want the venue, you may just have to pay what they request.

Hmmm... interesting. I've found that it is easier to negotiate with individual vendors rather than a packaged vendor. I would skip the chair covers -- I hate them because I always slide off of the chairs they are on!
Flowers, DJ's, and photographers are fairly easy to negotiate with. I worked out individual deals with each. I even got $200 off the price of my wedding dress.
Good luck!

hi ladies! please bear with me on this long one..
So we've decided on a place we want to have our wedding and reception. however the lady didnt want to budge on lowering the minimums on a Sunday. She said I have to have 100 guest minimum or else we'd be charged for those people anyway. I tried hard but she said she couldn't because her staffers are coming in on a Sunday and already incurring overtime. Fine. We'll have to invite 20 more people than originally expected. Now I'd like to try to cut costs somewhere else. Has anyone successfully negotiated something? I think MissQnomore did? Or was it someone else? I' particularly would like to get our corkage fee ($10 per bottle) waived or halved. Or maybe waive the chair cover fee (sooo annoying those chair cover fees!). I've always been a good negotiator because its always been that I'll leave it if I can't get the price i want. But here, I really want it and won't leave it. So I need to know how to negotiate. Also, what else can i try to negotiate? Maybe some free hor de voirs? I need ideas and tips and advice! Thanks!
