Hope you can help

I made a list of key questions I felt necessary to ask. I kept it in my wedding planning folder, whipped it out when we sat down and wrote my answers as we went. It was so helpful because t here was no way I'd remember everything! I crack under pressure

I bought a pretty note book and carried it everywhere with me. Hubby and I jotted notes on likes and dislikes after all appointments and kept a list of questions we wanted to ask on vendor interviews.

Catering Hall Q's were like

The max for this room is 150 but how many fit 'Comfortably' (ask BM his/her opinion)

What is the per person price for vendors/children

Can we take pictures anywhere on premises (most say yes but the truth is not really if there is more than one wedding happening)

If your CH is supposed to be outside where is the alternate location if it rains. (IMPORTANT Make sure you see this room!!)

Do you expect to have any renovations between now and the time of XXXX <- date of your wedding.

Yup, bring the list and go down the questions. And write EVERYTHING that the BM manager says down. So important. We were able to get things thrown in during our signing because I referred to my notes and pointed out that he had said they would be 'included at no charge'. Ask anything and everything that may come to mind, no question is too silly, and NEGOTIATE. Say you want to spend $120pp...say your max is $100 or $90. You'll be surprised at how low they can go. The first price is never the last price.

Good luck! Kepp us posted .
