Since I am at the beginning of the planning process I was wondering what all of you had to leave as a deposit for some of your vendors?

I realize it will vary especially with things like RH but just to give me an idea.

Maybe let me know for RH, Photographer, Florist

and if you are getting married in a church - did you have to pay the fee up front or do you pay it later on?
