If you intend to book a hotel ballroom (or a venue with catering included) for your wedding, make sure that you factor in ALL of the costs involved. In fact, I recommend that you ask the salesperson for a financial breakdown that includes all of the potential expenses noted below — You deserve the transparency!

The F&B minimum and/or the room rental fee may seem affordable to you, but it‘s really just what I call, “the financial starting point.” The actual costs tend to be much higher. As you calculate the potential expenses that you may incur for a wedding in a hotel ballroom, remember to include the following:

✅ The food and beverage minimum, PLUS the service charges and taxes.

✅ The room rental, PLUS the service charges and taxes

✅ The wedding ceremony fees, rental fees and cleaning fees

✅ Cake cutting fees and additional labor costs

Okay, there you have it! Let me know if you have any questions. You want to understand the true cost of their venue now so there are no surprises later.

Love and Soul Always, Kawania
