Date and time of the wedding.
Newcomers are generally concerned about the date, and they can't be wrong. However, newcomers will inevitably ignore the use time of banquet space, such as the wedding banquet hall and lounge. Also pay attention to whether the phenomenon of guests drinking too much will affect the end time of the party and when the temporary items should be transferred. All these aspects need to be considered clearly and reflected in the contract.
Space utilization of wedding banquet
Let the hotel clearly mark the space that needs to be used on the wedding celebration day, such as banquet hall, welcome area, dressing room, lounge, etc. And the grand ballroom of the hotel is generally divided according to the number of people, and the price should be clearly marked.
Then there is the price of the whole wedding banquet.
Package fees and additional service fees, including the extra benefits obtained after bargaining, are generally higher than providing construction services. Determine whether to include stage layout, runway decoration, etc. And the supply of lighting and audio equipment. These should be stated in the contract.
Next, we need to determine the number of tables for the wedding reception.
We can discuss with the hotel to determine the minimum number of tables seven days before the wedding, which is also to ensure that the couple will not waste money. And to finalize the date of the wedding, if the number of people attending the wedding banquet exceeds the minimum number, how to calculate the extra expenses, so as to avoid the hotel charging fees afterwards, these should be clearly implemented and added to the contract.
Finally, confirm the proportion of deposit payment.
In case of emergency, how much the deposit can be refunded, when the remaining expenses will be paid, or the compensation measures when the hotel cancels the wedding banquet unilaterally. Remember, after the wedding, when you pay the rest of the money, you should ask the hotel to show a complete list of expenses.
How much room is there for menu adjustment?
Changing dishes at the same price is the basic principle of wedding menu adjustment. After signing the hotel wedding banquet contract, the wedding banquet dishes in Shanghai are mainly divided into two categories: local dishes and Cantonese dishes. In order to enrich the dishes, the hotel can make some adjustments on the menu of different packages for newcomers. If you change low-priced food into high-priced food or add food, you must make up the difference. In most social hotels, menu negotiation is also the same principle, but menu customization in social hotels can be more personalized.
What discounts can I get after booking a specified number of tables?
For hotels or restaurants, if a banquet hall with more than 30 tables can only hold a 10 wedding banquet, the unit profit will undoubtedly decrease, and it is difficult for newcomers to get the upgrade discount of the wedding banquet package. The principle of ordering food at ten tables also comes from this. When signing a hotel wedding contract, if the number of people invited by the new couple can exceed 200, you must remember to strive for more benefits for yourself, such as whether the wedding room can be upgraded from the ordinary room, whether the parking space can be appropriately increased, and whether the brands of drinks and wines can be adjusted.
Does a minor child count as a person?
When signing the hotel wedding banquet contract, most hotels have a wedding banquet reservation of "per table 10", or directly set the unit price to be charged according to the head. At this time, newcomers need to know specifically whether underage children are also charged according to one person's standards, because some dishes are based on the number of people, even if the children eat a small amount, they are also hotel-standard wedding reception services. In general restaurants, this problem is relatively easy to solve. Sometimes a table will be crowded 1 1 * * *, and children will not be a problem.
What should I do if the banquet hall is occupied or I can't get out of time and space?
This problem mainly occurs in hotels, and it is also a problem that newcomers who are going to book hotels must be psychologically prepared in advance. When signing a hotel wedding banquet contract, the conventional solution is that the hotel arranges another banquet hall in the hotel of the same group to ensure that the wedding of the couple is held as scheduled. These contents will appear in the wedding banquet sales contract. Newcomers must confirm as many details as possible with the hotel before signing the contract, and make up as many details as possible.
Parking spaces available
Ensure how many free parking spaces there are, how many and where (in case there is no parking space for guests).
Invoice problem
Can I get a discount without an invoice?
The problem of wine
Can I enjoy beer and drinks freely? Is there a time limit? If you can't enjoy beer and drinks freely, what is the price? How much is the hotel? What is the milliliter number of the drink? Can you bring them? There is no corkage fee.
Other considerations:
Full 30 tables, should be upgraded, how much discount?
Are all prices net? Is there a service charge?
Is there a free wedding room? If there are too many tables, can the wedding room be upgraded and the use time?
Can we add seats? Does a minor child count as a person?
Book the number of tables and prepare the tables. You must know that you need to consult with the hotel to prepare a table. If you don't need it, you don't have to pay extra Prepare tables according to 10% and control the number of tables: the number of tables should be distinguished between the predetermined number and the guaranteed number (excluding table preparation), and the specific number should be determined before the wedding. )
The two hostess serve for 2 hours free, mainly for pouring wine. This will give the best man and bridesmaid a rest. Hotels generally agree, because it doesn't cost him. )
The bride's dressing room must be given and the location must be clearly stated. Can you provide a lounge with TV air conditioning for free?
If there is a banquet that day. Can we separate them and receive them in different places? If you can't negotiate the details of the wedding banquet, then you should ask for a good separated room in the hotel lobby, and don't want to separate at that time.
Free welcome water sign (location, size), free inflatable arch (location)
Provide the location of the gate for free (because some hotels charge), and the couple will decorate the wedding, provided that the hotel decoration facilities are not damaged.
Can cakes (layers and sizes) and champagne towers (including champagne) be provided free of charge?
Is the red carpet free?
Provide a sign-in desk (including the sign-in book, layout and other items) and indicate the specific location (mainly for fear that there will be other banquets that day)
It is necessary for the hotel to provide special personnel to be responsible for sound and lighting.
Free wedding music, microphones (wireless and wired), public broadcasting equipment and projectors.
Can the wedding car be provided free of charge, the model, the use time and the driver?
