Newly engaged :)

Hello ladies. I got engaged a week ago. I live in Charleston and am trying to decide between 2 venues. We know which one we want, it's just a little more $ than we had hoped. I'm going to meet with her tomorrow to see if there is any wiggle room. If so I'll book it! Everything books so fast here so as soon as the venue is booked it's straight off to photographers. They are also very expensive here. Anybody else live in a destination wedding town?

Our tentative date is 4/19/14

    Congrats and welcome to the boards! 

    I don't live in a destination wedding town, but there are lots of ways to negotiate the price of a venue. Instead of hosting a full bar you can always just host beer, wine, and a signature drink; that usually brings the price down. Also, the easiest way to cut down on the price of a wedding is cutting the guest list. HTH!

    Welcome!   I agree with @krisbot.  There are many ways to cut down the price and negotiate with vendors!  We negotiated heavily with our DJ because there were things we felt like we didn't need or want.
