Many things were in my favour when I spoke with the hotel.
💛 Managed to speak with the manager - got lucky at the wedding fair
💛 Wedding date is firm and it’s a non-peak date
💛 Hotel ballroom is available and my wedding date is “last minute”
💛 Know what’s your limit for minimum number of tables - my guest list is max 160 so 12 tables is comfortable for me to book
ICYMI, my previous hotel called us 5 months to our wedding and informed us they have to undergo renovations during my wedding date so we decided not to continue. But I had other vendors booked already! So I went down to a wedding fair and managed to speak with their manager. It really takes 2 hands to clap is real, One Farrer Hotel’s ballroom was available (either sign with us and earn abit or leave ballroom empty and earn nothing) and I needed a venue.
I was going to sign with another hotel already. So I was just inquiring for fun. Initially I was asking about their intimate wedding venue but wasn’t very keen as there is huge pillars and awkward march in aisle.
👩🏼💼: “How about sign with us for the ballroom? At ballroom price.”
The manager then moves off to check if it’s available for our date. I hesitated because it’s a far stretch but dun try who knows right?
👩🏻: “I can only MAXIMUM confirm 15 tables though.”
While staring at their brochure that says minimum 25 tables, wedding fair special -> minimum 20 tables.
👩🏼💼: “Okay 15 tables.”
And proceeds to gesture us to sit down. I still hesitated because we may not hit 15 tables, so I looked at Mister and he got the hint.
🧑🏻: “12 tables.”
We were so ready to leave already cuz 12?! That’s half the number of tables they are requesting for lmao. Manager hesitates and then caves…
👩🏼💼: “Okay 12 tables. Let’s sit down to discuss.”
So we sat down and went through the terms. Where mister helped me ask general questions while I sort out the questions to ask (details etc). This gave me time to consider all items. I was abit skeptical still because this is too good to be true 😂😂
All mister did during the actual negotiation was 2 words but it did the trick.
