Included in the price are chair covers and an open bar all night. We are guanranteeing 150 guests at a price of $47. We negotiated out of the tax. $47 a head for 150 guests or so.

Wedding packages are higher and offer more meal selections but I think this is a great deal for this area.

I agree with that, but don't tell Basic I said that because he has me on IGNORE.

Wow, get this. We are expecting at least 150 guests which works out to be about $7,000. Just for a refresher here's what we were getting for $47.20 a head...

1 hour passed cocktail hour with open bar and choice of 8 food items
4 hour reception open bar
champagne toast
salad
pasta
entree (chicken, fish, beef) sit down affair
chair covers
valet
cake coffee
pastries on each table for dessert


Since we were having so many people the quote was $7,000 and we dont' have that. the hall called back and were were honest. They removed the valet parking, cut the party by 30 minutes and changed it to beer,wine,soda. they gave us a new price of $30 a head which comes to $2,500 less!!!

We went today to meet with them again and said we'd really like the open bar instead of just beer,wine soda. He threw it in for $30 a head! We are saving $2,500 off the original price (which was outstanding by the way) and te only things we are removing is valet parking and 30 minutes from the affair!!

I'm bringing the deposit tomorrow!
