No such thing as too balsy when it comes to bargaining. What is the worst they say? No? Ask, and if they say no, just don't push
yup, just like everyone said, it never hurts to ask. u'll be surprised with how much you can save on everything just by bargaining.

i think there's a way to ask for anything. You could say something to the effect of, 'I could have my dream wedding here but unfortunately it's a little out of my budget. Do you think we could work with $xx per person?'
I would ask for a dollar amount rather than 'the 08 price'. Semantically, it seems as thought you are looking to stay within a number/budget rather than haggle for a better deal just for the hell of it.
Maybe it's just me that thinks that. haha
definitely try to ask them for the 2008 price, esp if you plan to book now! it never hurts to put it out there, the worst is that they would say no?! totally do it!!

I agree with how this poster suggested phrasing things.
Be careful. You don't want to push too much becauce if you seem 'greedy' they can screw you within their rights. We didnt ask for ANY freebies and got soooo many because the guy who booked us said we were a nice, non-demanding couple.
Tread carefully is all I am saying.
