I have heard that extra cost per guest wedding reception which I have trouble wrapping my mind around when everyone is paying AI already. I could see an extra hospitality cost per guest to cover set up, table service and extra bartender, but $90 a pop, wow,,,
Here is what a $70 per person menu looked like in 2008
With 40 some people I did not want to order from a menu, imagine the chaos. Every guest got every option every course. Took around 3 leisurely hours.
We owned the property for the night. I got to bring in alcohol, but paid a bartender $60.00 with properties glassware. I paid 2 extra security gaurds (private party no entry) $3.00 per hour. I rented my own sound system and ran it off my laptop. Cake obtained from Lucy Town by local friend. Flowers from Floral Fantasy.
