So I have looked all over the place at different venues. Most venues charge a facility fee of between 6,000-18,000. That price does not include tables, chairs, linens, chair covers, catering, cake or anything.
On top of the facility fee, most of the venues required you used them for catering. That is where they really get you. Most places were between $150-100 per person not including alcoholic beverages. Then they have a food and beverage minimum of 10,000 or so. This all totals at the least $16,000 for food and use of the venue.
After a lot of searching I found a venue that includes tables, chairs, set up and clean up and some decor for only $3,000. I was so excited that I found this place, yet my family still seems to think that this is outrageous. I don't know how to please them and don't feel like I will find any better of a deal. Is this price really that bad? Is it just me, or are they crazy??
