Sure! and if they say no, then move on. Otherwise you'll kick yourself for not trying it!

Re: Haggling

Have you guys been able to bargain with photographers, too? They seem to be the ones with the fixed prices. I'm meeting with some this weekend and if I can bargain I'm going to!

Re: Haggling

So far, bargaining w/ the photo/video has been the easiest. Limos has been the hardest. It kills me that they get so much money for 3 hours.............it's all a money scam

Re: Haggling

For me the easiest were invites and video. Hardest, well, make that impossible on my dress.

Photographers are more likely to throw stuff in for you. They can defiantly work on the price, but I have found if you don't ask, you will never know.

Try it with every vendor!

Re: Haggling

definitely! what i've found in this whole process iis that it never hurts to try! we've had a lot of success getting vendors to work within our budget. We have found it helps to be very frank with them...after you get an idea of what they are charging, let them know what you were budgeting. And work from there.

Good luck!
