Deposit before/after wedding fair?

Deposit before/after wedding fair?

Postby mrsbrowne2be » Tue Sep 18, 2022 5:34 pm

Hi Wollies,
The hotel that we plan on using for our reception are having a wedding fair next month and I don't know whether to wait until then and see do they have special offers etc on the day or afterwards. Now the hotel in a fantastic one but it's not as well known as others in the area and they don't have very big or publicised wedding fairs - this is the first one i've heard of but supposedly they've had them in the past. So I don't know whether this wedding fair will boost their popularity and therefore their prices! would anyone have any advice on what they would do in a similar position.

Thanks in advance :)

We went to a wedding fair for the hotel we booked and got a great deal - no corkage , second option for a starter and a soup or sorbet course thrown in for the price, a chocolate fountain and fairylight backdrop plus parent rooms and the bridal suite. So it worked for us but another hotel we went to on the night of the wedding fair, which would be a very popular hotel, didnt have anything like that on their deals. All depends I guess!

Would it be worth giving the venue a call and seeing what they say? I know with our venue we weren't able to make the wedding fair, and we were raging cos there was loads of advertised special offers if you booked on the day. However when I called the wedding co-ordinator just threw in the same stuff anyway for paying the deposit over the phone! Worth a shot anyway!

I would agree with ring them up and asking are they offering any deals for couples booking on the day. If so, tell them you will book now if you get the same deal. Would prevent you possibly losing your choice of date.
