When purchasing commodities like a car, house boat, it is common practice
to negotiate a price. So why is it when we go out to our favorite restaurant,
or get our hair cut and styled it’s not a common to negotiate? Why? Part of
what you are paying for is the service another part is quality. The less you
pay the less service and quality you receive.
I hear more too often so called wedding experts advising Brides to negotiate
with vendors. Sure you may find vendors that will play that game, but keep in
mind, the less you pay, the less service you receive. Murphy’s Law.
Shop around, compare, see what your vendors have to offer, and get the best
value for your money, but do yourself a favor, don’t negotiate. Real pros won’t.
Your “day-of” vendors will have the biggest impact on your wedding i.e.
entertainment, photography, catering, coordinator. Hiring the right group of
professional day-of vendors that work well together is like a well oiled engine
for your wedding day. If one part of that engine is weak the whole thing can
blow up.
You want the best for your wedding day.
If you try to negotiate, your only compromising quality and service.
The Professional wedding vendors and venues that advise brides about the
importance of their peers (who they work with) are the ones that truly care
about the outcome of your wedding.
Here’s an example of how ridiculous negotiating looks in real world situations.
