Updated- Good News!!! I need opinions... Here is the situaton.
My friend recommended the place we are having our ceremony/reception and she provided us with her contract.
She also suggested we ask for another bartender which cost them in the year 2000 an extra $100. It is also in their contract, so I have documentation.
My wedding is October 2004 and we booked March 2003. This past weekend I talked to my hall to ask them to add a 2nd bartender to my contract. They said it would cost $225 to $250 extra.
My question is do you think that is too much? I was thinking $150 at the most, because prices do increase. But $125 to $150 increase, I think is alot.
What do you all think? Is it a fair price? Am I being cheap? We are paying for the entire wedding so every penny counts for us.
Thanks in advance for your opinions.
ETS : I just wanted to let you all know I talked to the banquet manager and they are providing the extra bartender for $100.

It does seem to be a large increase, but I think you need to compare the price she paid in 2000 per person, compared to how much you're paying now per person. If it's not a big difference then I would ask them to lower the price. Hope this helps!

Talk with your hall again & tell them that your friend was married there a 'couple' of yrs ago & the 2nd barteder only cost $100. Tell them you're able to go to $150. & see what happens. Everything is negotiable.

Seems a bit on the steep side but I'd be willing for maybe 200 at most. Try to negotiate

Update: I faxed over the contract with the price of the bartender from the 2000 wedding. I will wait and see what they say.
But I think I already made the decision that I won't pay over $150.00.
I am kinda disappointed, I really want the extra bartender and I am know that they need to make $$$ but to increase it that much is IMO ridiculous.
