i have just found a stunning venue and luckily it's a venue which has a amazing relationship with the marquee people i picked. thing is i am really worried about how much of a deposit they're going to ask for. the reason is, i am paying for my wedding mainly out of the inheritance my mum has left me but i dont get it till 2013 and before that i have to petition solicitors for it -_- so i am hoping it's not too much so i can say to the solicitor can i have this much for such and such.

I have seen lots of variation in price between 400-2k Ours was 2k but then we didnt mind as we have paid off a chunk of it but it is a lot of money
There are so many people out there who will tell you
what you can't do.
What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

CommentAuthorjoey86
We had 7 days to sign the contract and pay the deposit for our reception venue which was £600. We also had to pay £50 to secure the room at the registry office too which we had to pay when making the booking.
CommentAuthoremmaaa
Our package with the hotel is £4500 and our deposit is £500.
CommentAuthorFuture mrs mac
Also better to pay with your credit card then pay off balance if case anything goes wrong x
CommentAuthorbridalmiss
Ours was £50 to provisionally hold the date for 2 weeks, then 20% deposit to book it - another 30% 6 months before the wedding and 50% 3 months before - so hopefully you'll be fine if your wedding's not for a while yet x
CommentAuthorsussie
we paid £500 for a hotel, civil ceremony and reception.
CommentAuthorLindsey
Ours was £500, 17 days after making the provisional booking but one of the other venues we considered wanted a £2000 deposit. x
CommentAuthorbridalmiss
Best thing to do is to ask about their payment terms up front, then you know when you need to pay stuff off - usually you never have to pay up front, and everything needs to be settled a few months before the wedding so you should be fine - in fact, every single one of my suppliers (except shoes, which I bought in full on the day) have asked for deposits first then full payment 3 months before the wedding, and the caterer and band want payment by or on the wedding date itself!
CommentAuthorhello-kitty
mines a national trust venue too micky lol i'm just hoping they'll have the date free and wont ask for anything too high.

£500 for us but only because we booked so far in advance. Is meant to be £1200. Contact them about the deposit and payment options and plans.x
CommentAuthorClarabella
i havent book my venue yet but i know that they will hold the date for 2 weeks and then we have to pay a £500 deposit. Its the same with alot of hotels up here. They will prob say in your terms and conditions what they want or just give them a quick call to see what the deposit is

We paid 10% deposit to secure the date after going through what we wanted and getting a rough quote. Our venue was very good with us, the pencilled in the date and we went to see them ... but it was three months before we gave them the desposit! Luckily they were really good with us, and we'd been eamiling them loads so they knew we weren't messing them around.

CommentAuthorFutureMrsPite
mine is costing me £1500 in total for the ceremony and reception as its all in one place but the cost is actually the wedding package i chose unless i go for a cheaper one in which case it would be cheaper, so my deposit as it stands is 150 10% of the total price. my venue doesnt actually charge for the use of the venue! just the food drink etc and the ceremony license fee which is 150 and the registrar i book seperately. i would guess most deposits come in at about 20% but if its a high market venue they may charge more, if u budget for 50% u should be fine x

I'm trying to remember what it said about the deposits on the quote we got from the marquee company my OH works for, but its blanked me completely. If you need any advice about marquee sizing etc, then give me a shout, i can go bug him about it, we'll be having one at some point so i've left all that side of things down to him as he knows best

we paid £200 for our booking and don't have to oay anymore now til the wek before the date which gives us about 19months to save :)
