Wedding Forum - Venue Payments...

usualy anywhere from 8-4 weeks for venues depending on what type of venue.. ours is a mnth before the date like most final payments for us x (i love the suit one - "2 days before on the date u pick up the suits" lol bt itll be paid well before the then tho)

theres no set dates other than final ones for us x

Ours is 1/2 6 months before, remainder 8 weeks before

Ours is 8 weeks before as well.

As MrsK2b says, your contract should set it all out for you. Ours stated that we had to pay 50% of the balance 6 months prior, and full balance paid 8 weeks prior.
We were able to pay as much or as little off whenever we wanted, you don't always have to stick to the set dates. Depending on numbers we have either as little as £400 or as much as £1000 left outstanding, but that is dependant on the amount of RSVPs we will get and how many people the church can hold. x

We paid a £1000 deposit. 50% of the estimate price is due 90 days before the wedding with the remaining balance payable 14 days before the wedding date x

You're telling me! Kind of nice in a way though knowing that such a large chunk is already done and dusted x

I paid my deposit and the ndidnt have to pay the final balance until today actually. it was due about a month before but they had a change over of staff and didnt get my final meeting in until last week so its varied massively.

Its scary and exciting seeing all that money dissappear as it is the single most expensive thing i have paid out in a lump sum before.

yeah i contract said 50% 6 months before and remaining 8 weeks before but ive just got an invoice for £700 8 weeks prior and £200 8 weeks prior i cant figure out why the scond payment is so big and when they want it for think she may have done a typing error

Ours is 2 weeks before I think.

our deposit was quite large too at £950, which hurt at the time but it a big chunk out of the costs already which is nice! x

Ours was £1000 deposit, then 25% of the remainder at 12mths prior, 25% 9mths prior, 25% 6mths prior and the remaining 25% 8wks before x
