Wedding vendors can be intimidating, but negotiating doesn’t have to be scary! I learned the art of negotiation by being transparent about my budget and asking for discounts when I could. For instance, I combined services (like booking a photographer and videographer through the same company) to save on both. I also booked off-peak times and dates, which vendors were eager to accommodate. Lastly, I always asked, “Is there any flexibility in pricing?” You’d be surprised how many vendors are willing to meet you halfway. A little polite persistence can go a long way in saving money!
