christine gal,
i have a chklist that might be useful to you. =)
Things to check from the hotel:
- Price per seat (this is important since some hotels have 12 pax per table)
- maximum capacity of the venue
- Number of pillars in the ballroom hall and the runway with which you can walk
- chair covers provided?
- How many different weddings can happen at once in the hotel. can have exclusivity if yours is the only wedding banquet at any one night.
- Sound system, lighting and multimedia capability?
- complimentary barrel of beer or free flow? how much each barrel will cost?
- number of complimentary parking coupons. What happens if you need more? Same questions go for the invitation cards.
- What are the corkage charges for hard-liquor, stout and wines?
- How many complimentary nights of stay is provided? If only one night, try to get two nights.
- how many waiter/waitress will be serving? a good number should be 2 servers to 3 tables
- How many people are invited for the trial-dinner? Full or partial menu for the trial-dinner?
frankly most hotels have almost the same perks, but u can try asking for extra night of stay, extra complimentary barrel of beer, chair covers or increase the number of invitation cards and complimentary parking. but in order to have those must try to book early. if possible also ask for waiver of cockage charges for hard liquor, makes a lot of difference to your final payment amount!
hope these helps! enjoy ur banquet hunting! =)
