Eighty guests at a seated dinner.
A fixed example of the planner's answer, written out in full. Every figure is a sample assumption for this fictional venue, not a quote or an available date.
What this example uses
| Guests | 80, children included |
|---|---|
| Format | Seated meal |
| Season | May, June or September |
| Days | Friday to Sunday |
| Food and drink | Sample allowance added, €60 to €100 a guest |
Under cover. The pavilion seats up to 80, so this group also fits under the roof. Its sides are open, so a weather plan is still agreed before the date.
Not priced here. Music, AV, flowers, photography, an officiant, transport, accommodation and any changeover between a ceremony and dinner.
The answer
Courtyard layout 2, ten tables.
- Venue, net
- €4,900
- VAT at an assumed 18%
- €882
- Venue package
- €5,782
- Food and drink allowance
- €4,800–8,000
- Venue plus food and drink
- €10,582–13,782
How the venue figure is built: seated base €3,000, plus €5 a guest (€400), plus €800 for May, June or September, plus €700 for Friday to Sunday, then VAT. Monday to Thursday would cost €826 less.
The allowance already includes supplier tax; no second VAT is added. It is our assumption, not a caterer's quote.
