You can still use credit card to pay, and then immediate pay off the charge via a cash ... I agree credit card has great discount and promo ... and if you book venue real early ... you may plan the payment every month and then payoff the credit in cash ... and then use the rebate or points to reward yourself... I did the same for my own wedding and by our actual day ... there almost nothing to pay, except the extra 2 bottles
