Wedding hotel is a very important part of the wedding preparation process, the hotel to your offer may also exist a lot of tricks, here to add a little there to make up something, the cost of the wedding rose, wedding as a professional wedding service platform today to share how to avoid marriage couples in the wedding hotel link to be pit, come and see.
1. Take your wedding outside? Admission and clearance fees are extra
The wedding company that does not cooperate with the hotel pays the entrance fee for the wedding party that is found outside himself, which seems to have become the "industry rules". Therefore, I must remind the bride who has just begun to prepare for marriage, must ask in advance whether the cost is collected, and how much it is collected, because the general wedding company will not help you out of this cost.
In addition, you can also discuss with the hotel before you pay the deposit, the admission fee can be cheaper, use your powerful intelligent mind to negotiate the price. If you pay the deposit in advance, can it be cheap, after all, the hotel may have more negotiating chips after paying the deposit. >> Online wedding banquet banquet to give how much deposit
As for the use of the venue, if the ceremony is not to be held in the ballroom, but to use the hotel's lawn, terrace, pool or other places, it is also necessary to ask in advance whether it will be charged and how much. >> Does the hotel do wedding site fees need to be calculated separately
At the time of departure, since the hotel has to clean up all the garbage of the wedding arrangement, it is understandable to charge a cleaning fee. But the hotel lion will not open his mouth, so it is also necessary to ask before signing the contract.

2, with LED? The hotel might be two of your bills
About the equipment fee, under normal circumstances, the hotel will use the LED, the smart new people will ask the LED fee in advance, but I never expected that some bad businesses will charge you a LED operating fee, such as the computer connected to the LED screen to play video, or switch video music, will jump out of the computer desktop for more than ten seconds, The awkwardness that came in front of the screen... And the hotel has a way, does not show the computer desktop seamless switch, don't ask me how to achieve, I don't know.
Some other aspects of lighting and choreography are planned by the company here, and some of the MC teams will bring their own sound. If not, if the equipment is used in the hotel, it must be written in the contract.
Bad sound quality is a lot of hotels will appear fatal injury, you can decide on this hotel before watching other people's wedding, preferably dinner, so that you can study the hotel's sound, lighting and other effects, or find a way to rent a better stereo. In addition, the number of microphones used in the wedding should also be asked clearly, several gifts, it is best to prepare 2 or more, in case of emergencies.

3. Parking space? Hotel delivery! But charging for parking...
Complimentary parking Spaces, wedding rooms, car delivery buses, tea breaks are actually the hotel's supporting services. (Services vary by hotel, so you can ask the hotel in advance.)
If the issue of free parking is not stated, you can do two things in advance:
① Try to get some parking coupons from the hotel. If you can't, then buy with sales. At the end of the wedding, arrange a person at the sign-in desk, ask whether the guests are driving, and issue parking coupons if they are driving, so that the guests will feel particularly intimate.
② Ask the hotel parking fee at the same time, you can also understand whether there is a parking lot near the hotel, the parking space is insufficient, and how much it costs to park for about 2-3 hours. Choose a better price than the hotel.
If the hotel says to give a wedding room, also ask clear 2 points:
① Standard room or suite. If you can, let the hotel take you to visit first.
② The wedding room can be arranged for the wedding room. In advance to test the hotel, know what can be arranged to what extent, you should also pay attention to the hotel layout when you should pay attention not to let the red print into the white furniture of the hotel, after the dispute to compensation, you also have to spend money. >> What are the hotel wedding room layout skills
If the wedding room is not specified, then you can ask the hotel for a free room as a DRESSing room. Think about it, the wedding change, the boxes of candy piled up. All need space storage, can talk to the hotel in advance, not save this part of the trouble? And also ask the location of the dressing room, see if it is next to the banquet hall, if the dressing room is in the building next to the banquet hall, running around will be very troublesome.

4. Table not open? You have to pay, too
Hey, girls! Even if the table is empty, it is also charged! So don't write too much, in general, 1 table for every 10 tables is more reasonable.
I have two suggestions to make you can spend less money on the table and have a human touch: First, let the hotel only serve cold food, do not serve hot food if no one is sitting, and the final settlement is before the cold food. Second, postpone the opening of seats. For the last bridesmaids and groomsmen, who have been too tired to eat all day.
5. Bring your own drinks? Corkage, tissue, everything costs money
Now, new people are not stupid, you know how expensive hotel drinks are, and bring your own drinks can save a lot of money. But the wool is still out of the sheep, the hotel will take another routine, service fee!
Generally speaking, the hotel will charge about 10%-15% service fee, of which about 5% is tax. It's unavoidable but you can talk about it, but it also depends on the hotel, some of it is negotiable and some of it is not. >> Is the wedding service charge reasonable? Can the service charge be cut?
On the night of the wedding, ask a family friend who knows you well to help watch the wine. This kind of thing happened in Wenzhou at the beginning of the year, when the bride went out the light was replaced by the waiter next to the empty wine, but the new person made a mark on the bottle in advance, and finally counted less wine there is evidence!

6. Dishes Abalone and lobster? Fear of lack of weight, origin is different
For new people who value food, you need to get the hotel menu before you sign the contract or hand over the money, because --
① You need to know whether individual dishes of the A/B menu at the same price can be exchanged. Always try steamed dishes, because some bad hotels will mix dying aquatic products into braised dishes, and use lots of spices to mask the smell.
② If there is seafood at the wedding banquet, it is best to indicate the weight: the type of fish, weight, how many heads per catty of abalone, generally 10 heads/catty or 16 heads/catty, scallops is not a table enough for each table to eat 1. There are some special need to label the country of origin, such as lobster!
③ After determining the dishes, remember to ask if you can arrange the hotel to test the dishes. Some hotels offer free tastings, some arrange a special tasting for couples with similar schedules, and some charge a fee. Sometimes there will be free tasting activities on the wedding app, you can pay more attention to oh ~>> Wedding tasting precautions
Do you understand the above things that the hotel needs to pay attention to? Negotiate these details with the hotel in advance to avoid being pitted, otherwise the wedding party at the end of the checkout to find a large amount of inexplicable expenses but very not worth it.
