Fees at Raphael Vineyard

I would like to have my wedding at Raphael Vineyard, but their fees are quite high. Does anyone know the site fee, per person fee and service fee that is typical at Raphael? Also, how negotiable are these prices?

Does anyone know a typical service fee is at Raphael? I've heard everything from 12% - 21% and the difference in price between those numbers is HUGE...

Re: Fees at Raphael Vineyard

We seriously looked at having our wedding there. in the end there were a few deal breakers for me. However, to answer you question I believe the service fee there was either 18% orf 20%. I can't remember but of all the places we looked at nothing was under 18%.
