How To Ask For A Wedding Discount?

One of the biggest questions brides have is:

“How do I ask for a wedding discount?”

The question implies that there is some kind of “proper” wedding etiquette for asking a wedding vendor for a discount.

Know what I think?

(You’re gonna find out in about two seconds…)

SCREW that etiquette wedding crap.

It’s your wedding, and if you’re serious about planning the wedding of your dreams on a tight budget, you can’t worry about being “proper” and following Emily Post’s wedding etiquette guidelines for everything.

So how do you ask for a wedding discount?

I explain the “Soft Pitch” and the “Harder Pitch” approaches in great detail in my eBook on planning your dream wedding on a budget.  But here’s the jist…

#1 - ASK. Simply asking for a discount increases your chances of getting one 75%.  3 out of every 4 wedding vendors offer a discount when asked.  (But most brides never ask!)

#2 - Sincere Flattery Will Get You Everywhere. Be generous with the compliments before you make your request for a wedding discount.  There’s a psychological principle at work that compels wedding vendors to give you a discount.  (Download my free report, The Bride’s Secret Weapon, to learn more.)

#3 - Don’t Feel Bad About Asking! Professional wedding vendors are used to dealing with this question.  They won’t take it personally…or if they do they’ve got deep psychological issues.  Think about it this way: do you take it personally when a sales person quotes their price?  Of course not.  A professional shouldn’t take it personally when you quote the budget you have to work with, either.

Take control.  Take your advantage.  Plan the wedding of your dreams…the way you want it…at the prices you can afford.

If I can do it, so can you!
