I paid 35% of the minimum expenditure of 10,000 dollars to hold the date.  Two months before the wedding, I paid the rest of the money to add up to the minimum expenditure.  Three days before the wedding, I gave the final count and gave the rest of the money for the final count.

Also, that amount included food and alcohol and cake and other things.
