How are your bargaining skills with vendors? Did you get any great deals?

I got totally takne advantage of I think b/c I was a girl and went by myself to many places since we are planning from out of town. I feel miserable about it. Everyone tried pressure tactics on me... and I tried to negotiate and they were like no and they stood up to end the meeting. They definitely played hard ball with me with RH's and DJ. I am going to hold off on doing everything else until FH comes down with me in 3 weeks and then we can get Photographer and florist. I need him to play hardball back.

Well I only booked two things and I think I bargained, or begged pretty nicely I got great prices on both but I almost had to beg since I'm on a tight budget..not sure how much bargaining skills were used...I think they felt bad for me

my RH was already super cheap, and he volunteered to thrown in viennese when i said i wanted the raw bar. photog & florist were unwilling to negotiate. we'll see how things go from here...

I am not very good at it...Everything I tend to like costs an arm and a leg from the jump soooo I am never surprised at prices...

Honestly, I didnt even really try. I knew my budget and only looked at places within my budget so I didnt have to try to get vendors to go down in price. I did get stuff thrown in at rh, photographer and florist but I think they do that because you dont try to haggle with them.

I'm not good at all.....and every time we'd see someone as we're leaving FH is always like 'you should have asked'
WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH!!!

My bargaining skills stink...I always think everything sounds good...FH is the opposite and always thinks we are getting ripped off....I guess we balance out.

So far so good, but I'm not the best bargainer. If it's in my budget, I go with it and avoid the headache of it all. If it's not in my budget, then I bargain it into range, and so far, we've been pretty lucky with reasonable vendors . . . .

i'm awful at bargaining. that's why i try to go with my FH or MOH to the different vendors. they aren't afraid to ask for things and are great at getting deals.
