Since there's been some talk about deposits...

Does anyone have a list of how much each vendor requires for deposits?

Obviously this will vary from vendor to vendor but just looking for a roundabout figure.

FH and I are going to start booking our vendors in Feb/March and we are trying to figure out how much we should factor in for deposits.

TIA Girlies!

doc: 1/3
florist: 300

I can't think of anything else!

I think we gave the photog about 25%, the DJ and limo both asked for a very small amount but we gave them each $500. Dress we put down 50%.
