Good to know

Good to know

Saturday nights are in high demand.

Ask for the full price in writing. It should show the minimum, tax and service charge.

Plan for toasts. Ask about a mic and a screen for photos.

Questions guests ask

Questions guests ask

Pick what fits your guests. A seated dinner works for a group that wants to talk. A cocktail party works for a group that wants to mingle.

Ask what the minimum covers. Ask if the bill adds tax and a service charge. Ask about room fees and cake fees.

A venue needs 3 tests to get a score. Until then it shows “Not yet scored.” That is not a grade. It means we need more tests.
