It would depend on how long they'd have to wait for thr deposit. Some venues are really good and let you pay installments whereas others what the wonga upfront.

We had to pay the deposit within two weeks of reserving the date.

Same here, I had 14 days to pay my deposit and they held the date for me, that seems ages ago now! x No harm in asking x

I also had 14 days to get the deposit to them or they would let the day go - but my venue was excelent, they had told me about new packages coming out and so held it slightly longer for us untill their new all in one deals came out - we however never went for one of them , and now with the way things have turned out i wish we would have

We had to pay a deposit of at least £100 straight away x

Mine held the date for 3 or 4 weeks from our first vist until we went in and paid the deposit, just ask, they may be flexible!

yeah it is usually 2weeks from when u provisonally book somewhere xx

depends on the place i penciled the date and they gave me 4 weeks to make my mind up and pay the deposit x

our venue said the deposit had to be paid in 14 days from when we booked, but if we didnt have it then they cud hold the date for us on the condition no one else came looking for that date, if they did and they had the deposit they would contact us first, then release the date if we cudnt pay. :)

we had to pay £500 deposit straight away to secure the date otherwise they could not guarentee it to us and if someone else came along they could have it... so i phoned first thing the next morning and paid it!!
hope you get the option that suits you though huni xx

We had 8 weeks to pay £400 deposit which I thought was great as most place want £800 in 2 weeks

the best thing to do is ask, the deposit can also be used to pay for a buffett in the evening if u are having one.. :)
