I’m hoping to negotiate with our DJ, but I don’t really know
what to say. In general I'm not good at asking for things. Hoping you ladies
can coach me.
Originally we talked to our DJ about a 6 hour dinner
reception and ceremony coverage, and he quoted us a price that matched what’s
on the pricing page of his website for that package. Now that we’re considering a shorter
cocktail reception instead, we asked him for a quote for a 4 hour reception and
ceremony coverage. The quote he gave is $50 over the price listed on his website for 4 hours plus ceremony.
It’s not a big deal, we really like this DJ and he’s still within our budget either way. But if I can, I’d
like to get him to match what’s on the website, or even knock it down a little. So how do I ask without coming across as rude or demanding? How did you negotiate with your vendors?
