    While the vendor isn't necessarily wedding related, we used the shuttle/bus service from ITT (the base's travel center) to shuttle our wedding guests rather than use a local vendor. The local vendors wanted $700-900 for 5 hours of shuttle service. Through the military, we got a bus for $405 for 9 hours. Not only did we save money, we got the bus for almost twice the time.

    This is not wedding related, but if you are interested in going on a cruise for your honeymoon, I know Carnival gives a discount for military.

    I know Alfred Angelo has military discount. I'm not sure about anywhere/anything else. I don't have a FI in the military-just saw it on the website.

    My location was moved when they found out we are a dual military couple.  They took 50% off a high demand weekend (October in Vermont).  Its an expensive venue and still pricy, but they saved us thousands of dollars.   I thought it was very generous of them.

    A venue we're looking at gave us some wayyyy discounted quotes - the chapel, dining room, and cocktail lounge for 1400!  (normally the dining room is 1400 ALONE).  However...we're thinking about a Friday night (we're kinda going about this all backwards, I know) so that was definitely included, and FH's great-grandfather was a Mason (it was a Masonic Lodge), but I'm certain the woman was giving us a military discount as well.  I mean, I just don't see a Friday night being almost 50% of the cost of the dining room..
