Negotiated a MUCH better venue price!!

So excited was able to negotiate a MUCH better price for our venue...$10 a person after taxes and gratuities less!!!! FILs found venue they wanted simply because it was cheaper but didn’t have outdoor ceremony place and wasn’t as nice as place FH and I picked. They decided yest that they want to pay for recep, but add 60 more people so they wanted to see about getting place we like price down or keep looking. We’re getting married in 6 mos and time is running out to keep looking. So I called out venue we liked and exp the situation that we feel obligated to go with the cheaper place and that FFIL is prepared to put deposit down today so if they wanted us to book there they’d need to work with us a little. After lil more negotiating, mgr said he’d price match since we doing Fri wedding and it only 6 mos away! I was planning on downgrading the bar and cutting out things to make price better for FILs, but didn’t have to! I am so excited and proud of myself!
