Venetian Hour
What is the avergae cost of adding venetian hour? I have gotten prices ranging from $11 to $20 per person. The place with $20 said $10 for venetian and $10 for the extra hour. Most said the hour were included in the $11 or $12 per person rate.

Re: Venetian Hour
it depends on the location. Like V said, some can range in that price and they can be half veneitians or mini venetians. For examples, offer only cookies. Full venetians should include the hour and be $10 and up per person. At the sterling i was quoted $10 pp and i would get the full hour making it a six hour party. I decided on a chocolate fountain and im adding a candy buffet instead

Re: Venetian Hour
Thanks ladies. This is for a full venetian. I thought the $20 was high, especially when they said $10 for the hour and $10 for the dessert. The hour should be included.

ITA $20 is insane!! $10 I can deal with and the hour should def not be an extra charge.

Re: Venetian Hour
our venue originally wanted $10 per person but we negiotated down to $5, im sure if its between you guys signing or walking away they'd be willing to lower it.btw $20 per person is crazy for a venetian hour!! for that kinda money i'd hope its top chef worthy desserts!

Re: Venetian Hour
i think at russo's on the bay my fsil paid $20 per person and it was seriously a full cocktail hour of sweets. usually the more you pay for the more you get. some venetian hours are not as elaborate as others so they are able to charge less. Mine will be $10 pp with the option of 7pp if we dont extend the wedding an extra hour , just have it the last hour of the wedding.

Re: Venetian Hour
I googled it.. My FH is part Italian but not raised Italian if that makes any sense... It's a cool idea though!!!Always bargain with them if you haven't already put a deposit...

Re: Venetian Hour
Bridgeview said we can add the Viennese part and not extend the hour for $10 extra pp, or we can do the extra hour w/ the Viennese for $15 extra pp. We're just gonna do the whole 15.

Re: Venetian Hour
My RH gave us a quote of I believe $10 pp for the vienese without the extra hour. But when we came to book with my Parents my Dad got them to give it for free. Which is awesome because I really wanted it. He also got them to throw in a few other things.
