HOT TOPIC: How do deposits work when it comes to suppliers? We asked these North East businesses how they take care of the financial side of things At Langley Castle Hotel we ask for a £2,000 deposit to book your exclusive use wedding. We then ask for 50% six months before; 75% with three months to go, and the final balance six weeks before your big day. Katie Livingstone-Evans, Langley Castle Hotel | www.langleycastle.co.uk Wedding deposits www.dianemakepeacephotography.com We charge a fixed fee for our service and pass on our discounts to you, then help you keep on track with all the suppliers for deposits and balances; giving you plenty of notice on when they need to be paid. We work directly with venues and suppliers, and all monies owed are paid directly to them from our client. Sarah Lydon and Leanne Manson, Plan Our Wedding | www.planourwedding.co.uk www.dannybirrellphotography.co.uk We require a £100 booking fee to secure your date in our diary. Your bridal trial payment is requested ahead of your trial taking place, and the final balance due one month before your wedding date. Of course, all artists are different, so do check with yours.
