Tips to know
Part of your Normandy Farms wedding cost is the non-refundable deposit required to reserve your date. This being said, make sure you are a 100% decided so as not to forfeit the amount.
For outside vendors, give them the written direction of the wedding venue because the Normandy Farms may not be available through GPS. The allotted time for vendors would be two hours prior to the wedding event.
The company does not allow any outside food and beverage vendors. They will all be catered by the company.
How can I save money?
The company gives a special discount if couples will also hold other events in the place such as showers and rehearsal dinners. If you want to save money, this is a good way to make it possible.
Book your wedding event at least eight months prior to the date. The company offers great discounts for events scheduled eight months prior and you can even take advantage of the weekend dates.
Ask for a list of what is included and what is not from the Normandy Farms so that you will have an idea of how much extra you should plan on spending. If there is an extra cost that you feel like you can live without, eliminate it from your list to save money.
There are certain times of the year and days of the week that will be much cheaper for your wedding. For example, a Friday night wedding is usually cheaper than a Saturday wedding. One in the winter may be cheaper than one in the summer. This can be said for any venue.
