Are vendors cheaper in February?

Are prices for vendors (DJ, Florist, Photographer, etc.) less expensive in February than spring, summer and fall months? Reception halls definitely are, but what about vendors?

I am wondering because the reception hall of my dreams gave me a good price, but my FH kindly pointed out that it is still out of our budget. So I am wondering if there are other aspects of the wedding that I can skimp on.

There are many ways to keep to your budget. I don't know about any vendors that are less expensive during February, but that's because I don't know - they may very well offer discounts because it's a slower time for them. For florists go with something that is in season, it will be less expensive.

I changed my wedding from the fall to February for that very reason (well initally because the hall was way cheaper than what we were originally going to pay). I have been able to negotiate with all of my vendors for a lot less than what they originally quoted me at, and I'm sure that that has everything to do with the time of year (or else we're just amazing negotiators, lol). I haven't done flowers yet, and I'm not sure if that will be more due to flower availability, but I guess it depends on what you want. Good luck planning !

I can't speak for all vendors but your flowers might cost a little bit more for your February wedding (Valentine's Day).

HTH!!!

And certain things won't change no matter what time of the year your wedding is .... invitations, favors, etc.

I would think that you would have more room to negotiate with vendors because they are not that busy that time of year. I would say that yes, they probably are cheaper but you have to be sure to negotiate.
