Well there goes that venue choice holy s**t!

Laura M, on May 7, 2012 at 11:33 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 36

I wanted an idea of how much this particular venue would cost for 60 guests. Is it just or is this absolutely insane?!

A) core package comes to 17.9K tax and includes:

- full wedding coordination (we do all the setup/cleanup),

- finishing touch rental items (guest table candles, license signing pen, hanging lanterns with shepherds hooks, vintage chalk board for bar menu, bird cage or other options for guest money cards etc.),

- accommodation and honeymoon suite: for 6 guests, 3 course brunch for six guests,

- venue rental and SOCAN fees

- marquis reception rentals: marquis, kitchen tent, washroom facilities, tent heaters/fans, podium, lounge furniture rentals, bar, dishes, cutlery, glassware

- various deliveries including ice, golf cart shuttle for guests to and from parking lot, onsite parking,

- ceremony: setup fee, ceremony chair rentals,

- marquis decor: chandeliers, ceiling draping, linens and napkins,

- lighting: twinkle and LED lighting,

- plated meal: appetizer, plated

    It seems like the things you get in the package are really random. Why do you need a suite and 3 course brunch for 6 guests?

    Is any of this negotiable? I think you could do alot of this yourself to cut back on the cost.

    They are basing it off the average cost of a wedding $25k and thinking it is a steal because it is just below that price. Honestly, If this place is a MUST for you and your FH, I would really talk them out of most of those items.

    It does seem a little high but it really depends on where you live. From what it seems, this is a very "all inclusive" place, and I feel like the all inclusive venues can be more expensive.

    Can we see photos of this place?

    EEK, I can get an all inclusive wedding at a winery venue for $10k and I've been trying to talk them down with that. It even comes with a candy bar fully loaded and an open bar (we just have to bring the booze)

    Sadly I don't think that's THAT high (depending on where you're located and prices around there).....all comes down to location...

    It pretty, It says they're willing to make a package that suits your budget so maybe you could work something out

    I'm in Boston and that's not that high around here. Certainly you could find cheaper but we also have plenty of places that would cost even more.

    Future Mrs L: ThanksSmiley smile I agree and have fallen in love with it just by the pictures! I am scared to see it in person because then it won't be a debate on whether I can afford it, it will be a question of what date to set! Lol

    I'm not sure what your budget is but if it is not WAY too high you may want to mention that their website states they can work to a wide range of budgets and you were looking to spend approximately $X. See if you can change the menu a little or not include some of the extra fancy decor that isn't necessary.

    Shannon-I've asked them to exclude all of the "finishing touch rental items" and the 6 guests accommodations/gourmet brunch. I doubt it will be go down that much but worth a shot!

    Maggie- The other section is another 4k so it's going to be about 22k and I am pretty sure that not including tax or gratuities...oye!

    Yeah I dont think that is high at all. But its all relative on where you live. But from what I hear Canada in general is pretty pricey..
