If you handle your suppliers with care and attention you'll get the best out of them in return. Here's 5 more tips for you to bear in mind.
Push for more
Be realistic. Venues may not be able to give huge discounts in the current financial climate, so instead try to stretch them to throw things in - such as free accommodation for the newly weds!
Don't be scared!
The flip side of a recession is that your business should be even more important to each supplier, so don't be scared of being labelled demanding or mean. They will have seen much worse, honestly!
Look for hidden costs
Find out if the prices you've been quoted include VAT, delivery charges etc. If they don't then you need to re-negotiate.
Enlist some expert help
If the thought of negotiating with suppliers fills you with dread hire a wedding planner. They can liaise with all your suppliers and get you the best deals, leaving you completely stress free.
Get to know each other
Remember that you should feel comfortable with all your suppliers, but especially with your photographer. They will be with you most of the day so it's important to meet them all beforehand so that they know exactly what you expect.
