Hi all, I've been lurking for a few weeks now and I encountered this issue today but hadn't seen anything else about it. FH and I are getting married in late 2018 and we've started looking at venues now to help protect ourselves from price increases. I found one venue with a nice package for about $5,500 and inquired to know more about the venue and pricing. I told them my wedding is in 2018 and she sent me back package pricing for 2018 and the same package was almost $2000 more. I just wanted to know if it's normal for venues to have their prices for 2018 in January of 2017 and if it's normal that they "know" they're going to increase the price so much for the same package. It seemed off to me but I'm also super new to this whole thing.
