having to negotiate. I hate when you are on here and one girl says the photographer said 3,000 and another says 3,500 and then you get a price of 4,900!! Honestly...I hate it. Sometimes I think vendors hear where you are getting married and jack up the price!
The most def. do!!!! It really is a pain.
So true... It gets frustrating. What are u trying to book? Photographer?
so when they ask...don't tell...tell them within a mile range of where you are in relation to them and tell them flat out that friends have been quoted with them before and you don't want your venue to affect the offer because you already know what to expect...

I am looking at photographers and vidoegraphers now. Honestly, next time I am going to say I am not sure which venue or say the cheapest one on Long Island. Plus, I hate when they try to stare at your e-ring. I am getting sick of this negotiating. I wish it were like Macy's $30 for the shirt no negotiating.
Would you tell a vendor... well on Liweddings they quoted you this...for thiss.... or would you just leave it alone?

Omg that is just crazy and they sound like they r all over the place .... I really would think twice about using them
They all do it! That's why I never EVER book anyone on the spot. I always say (even if it's not true) that I'm going to look at other vendors, then say I got x price, can they meet or beat it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but it's worth a try!
They are doing it probably because they dont know the way the economy is going to go in two years so they are hoping to get as much as they can. Dont go with them unless they are incredible.
I can't stand what photographers charge. 4000 for 10 hours is 400 an hour. If you ask me that is completely overpriced for someone to take pictures. That's more then what the partners at my firm charge per hour.
They should seriously read everyone's posts if their a LI wedding vendor...they make themselves look like idiots!
I hate when vendors flip flop with their prices. BUT u do have to take into consideration what was included in the persons pckg and what you got quoted for in yours. Also what year.. u can be getting a quote frm a 2011 bride and we're getting married in 2013! Some places will let u lock in whatever the current price is but others once they hear 2013 and its so far away they want to jack up the price.
