Weddingbee boards

First, on a holiday weekend at a hotel you willl most likely not save much on a sunday weddng because hotels near the beac tend to have no shortage of business on holiday weekends (I used to work for marriott) Secind negotiation at hotels can be hard because they are through are under a big corporation, but you can defienintely try to negotiate  meal cost, but very few laces give deals in alcohol. Roughly what is ur budegt, i looked into a ton of venues so I can let you know which one are in yoour range. If it helps at all our budget is $10,000 and we are getting married at the westridge country club in LA Habra

I was looking at the Hotel Hanford as well... It looks like a budget friendly place, but don't forget you still have to tack on costs of your photographer, dress, DJ, invitations, flowers, favors, etc. Costs pile up once you start adding those things.  Also, we are having 150 guests and it seemed like the ceremony & reception area would have been a bit tight with 150 guests, I couldn't even imagine 180 in those spaces, especially the cermony area.  Good luck with your search!  When I negotiated with my venue I basically just told them how much I LOVED the place & want to get married there, but couldn't afford it at the original price they quoted.  I told them my budget & they did their best to work with me, and brought it very close.
