My fiance and I are planning a wedding in Eau Claire for 2012 and are considering a Saturday of Memorial Day weekend wedding. We reviewed reception site and our favorite is giving a free reception room rental for the weekend, whcih would save us $500-$1000 over their (and our 2nd and 3rd choice's) normal in-season price.
The one concern I have is that we will end up paying a premium for other vendors such as flowers/photog/dj/etc... because of the holiday weekend and because we are in WI and Memorial Day is the start of Summer for many vendors would rather be 'up north', etc...
Does anyone have any feedback about the general costs of other vendors for a holiday weekend wedding such as Memorial Day?
