Not to our hall, payments are due every 3 months, but we have made extra payments to most of our vendors. Trying to pay everything down little by little, so we are not totally strapped 2 weeks before the wedding.

yep - I tossed them quite a bit of money last year when I got a bonus - just so my payments this year wouldn't be unmanageable.
They're still unmanageable, though

We paid all of our hall already minus $1000. We only owe more if we are over our minimum. I did not want to have any big payments so close to the wedding.

I am keeping the money in a saving account. I am not paying vendors before the due date. There is no insentive.
This is a habit of mine not to pay someone until it's due. I feel I have more 'power' if something goes wrong.

Yes I paid the hall quite a few payments more than were expected.

We had no timeline in our payments, but I paid as often as possible. I did every month to every 3 months. Now I don't have much to pay when the final 3/4 of the balance is due which is one month before. I based my payments on 200 people this way if I paid to much i knew I could get it back. We booked our hall back in October of 2004 and started paying if off in November of 2004.

our hall requires payment 1 month prior to event, but we are making payments every few months.

We were not required to make payments. But he encouraged us to make payments regularly so we can form a bond and friendship, which I thought was a 'gimmick' but he said, we have couples who book 2 years in advance then a month before the wedding they come in with a lump sum and we don't know who they are 'personally' we just know they are one of our couples. That made sense to me and now we love Tony and Max, they are absolutely awesome. They were so friendly to my mom, (she's partially paralyzed on her left side due to a stroke) and they made her feel so welcome that it brought tears to my eyes. I can not explain how happy we are that we chose our hall. They have been nothing but FANTASTIC!!!!
Sorry so long I got carried away.

We don't have scheduled payments so I did pay some when it wasn't due.
FH wants to wait though now to make sure everything goes as planned.

according to our contract, we don't owe them any $$ until about a month before the wedding. but, our bm, who is awesome, told us if we want to make payments every so often we can. just have to bring contract so they can keep track. we haven't done this, but it was nice to know.

I paid when the bills came but other than that, I left the money in our ING account to earn more interest.

I know my parents made a payment about 2 weeks after the 1st one... I say if you have the money, do it.. it will help later on when other payments come rolling in..
