Hi might be a silly question but when you pick a venue for your wedding. Can...

Yeah we did.

Yes you should be able to. We are paying ours in instalments! X

Yeah we did ours x

although a majority do accept payment installment plans, i'd double-check with your ideal venue, just to be sure, so you're not disappointed :-)! X

You can but we were advised my a kind gentleman at one of the venues not to. His reason was incase something happened to the venue e.g. Going bust then you at least have the majority of your venue funding still available to you x

We paid in full and got 5% discount x

Yeah we can but I also
Might save it all in a savings account because it's all not due until 4 weeks before xx

Thank you girlies!

We got told to pay a deposit on the day we booked, additional deposit one year before. We then have to pay the venue of 4 weeks before x

We paid a 10% deposit and we're paying it off bit by bit x

Most places will let you yes, best to check with them though as they may have a different scheme set up, I know with ours we can :)

Most venues I've been to have said they accept an initial deposit, then the rest should be paid at least 6 weeks before the date

We did, we chipped away at it over almost 3 yrs so is paid for x

I don't see why not as they are still getting their money. But just double check with the hotel as every hotel is different

Our venue does 10% deposit at signing of contracts. 40% at 26 weeks prior, 25% at 12 weeks prior and remaining 25% 4 week prior. Check the contract with the venue to see how they like it paid x

Yes! Most will accept a deposit, then they'll have their own terms. Ours was a further 50% at 6 months prior and the final balance like 8 weeks before etc

My venue in essex does installments over 2 years as long as the wedding is at least 1 year away. I had my wedding 2 weeks ago Sunday and was perfect we had paid 50% to that date and will be paying the remainder over next 12 months. They set up a direct debit so don't need to worry about making sure I remember to pay it. X

Why don't you work out what it will be monthly and put it into a savings account (set up a direct debit after each payday)? Then you have control over it and will gain the interest yourself rather than the venue. Also, if venue goes bust, you have the money and don't have to worry about getting so much back from insurance company (by the way, get insurance - things can go wrong and it's not expensive to have peace of mind)

We paid a deposit to secure the date, 50% of the costs 12 months prior and we will owe the remainder 4 weeks prior to the wedding day x

Our venue ask to be paid in instalments. 10% deposit, then we paid 15% like 6 months after, then we are paying 25% March next year then left over 50% August (month before the wedding). Depends on the venues requirements. We went to one venue and really liked it but they wanted a £2500 deposit when the wedding wouldn't be for 2 years which we thought was silly. Definitely get wedding insurance

Most will allow you to pay in instalments. Mine requires a £1000 deposit to confirm the booking, then 50% of the total estimated cost is required 3 months before the wedding, then the rest is due a month before.

It depends on the venue with mine i had to pay a deposit of 100 then the rest can be paid as and when as long as its totally paid for 6 weeks before the wedding date x

We paid £1000 deposit and 50% is due 6 months before and the rest 3 months before

We have been paying off so much a month, get married next month and have finished paying it this month.

Most of them will let you but if not try and negotiate! Good luck x

Hi my Mum paid in instalments :)

With mine, they asked for £750 deposit but we gave them £1000. Then 6 months before the wedding they ask for a further £750 Then 4 months before it's 80% of the remaining balance and 2 months before it's everything left to pay. But I can just go in and give them bits of it whenever I want xx

My daughter's venue wants 10% deposit, 1/3 of what's left 3 months later and rest a few weeks before.

The only thing you can do is ask them! Most ask for a deposit though x

It probably depends on the venue but its definitely possible. I've paid a deposit for mine and then I have to pay another amount 6 months before and then 3 months before

Every venue is different it's something you need to discuss with them
