What has been your experience with vendors you want to book. Do they make you leave a deposit to secure the date? How much? I haven't met with anyone yet since I'm not working at the moment and am on a strict austerity budget. I'm afraid if I wait too long I won't be able to get who I want though.

Re: Vendors and deposits
Here's my expericences:
Photo/Video: (DUET) - left $500 deposit when we booked
DJ: (High Voltage) - $50 deposit
Hall: (Fox Hollow) - $500 deposit
We booked our vendors early so that payment plans wouldn't overwhelm us. So glad we did it this way, it just makes the process so much easier. Good luck!

Re: Vendors and deposits
We have been leaving $500 deposits with all of our vendors, except for the reception hall which we left a $1000 deposit.
We also booked our vendors early so we could pay only $1000 per month for the next 12 months to all of our vendors. Our budget is $12,000.
thank goodness, i thought i was the only one who left a hall deposit over $700.
Hall: $5000 Photo/Video: $1000 Band: I don't remember

Re: Vendors and deposits
Most vendors ask for 20% deposit. That is what I have found.

Hall- $1000 Photo- $600
Haven't booked anything else yet. I have also agreed to pay all vendors in cash that would not charge me tax and so far it has worked for photography and maybe video.
