Hey everyone,
I`m in the process right now of looking at halls, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to bargain with them? I know the tricks of the off season months, and off days, but I`d really like a Saturday in May. In your experience, has anyone gotten a lower price than the hall first offered, or gotten anything extra thrown in? I`m TERRIBLE at bargaining, I usually go with the original price on everything! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

Tips on booking a Hall?
Dear Amy,
Be very careful when dealing with catering halls.If the price seems too good to be true-it probably is.The reputable catering halls (Fox Hollow,Westbury Manor,Chateau Briand,Harbor Club,John Anthony`s etc)
will give you your money`s worth.A Saturday in May is prime time. Any hall that suddenly cuts the price should be a red flag.You will be cut from some of the services they offer or in the quality of the food provided. You can get a better price by doing what a lot of brides are now doing-by booking the wedding for a weekday in May or June. The prices will be lower at most locations.I am a member of the Association of Bridal Consultants-I give seminars to Bridal Consultants and this is one of the areas we cover.
