So.....still trying to find a venue for our 35th....here is the issue...
Most places have "minimums"....example: Pinocchios has a yummy buffet for $22 a person plus tax and gratuity...add the $450 room rental (room is awesome) and split it among attendees....maybe $35 a person...doable if it is well attended....we had about 72 attendees at the 30th and guesstimating 60 this year....
However there is a $300 minimum on the bar and a $1000 minimum on food....if we don't have enough attendees to meet the minimums the organizers pay the difference...have done that before but can't do it this time around...if we only have, say, 30 attendees, we lose money...
Any ideas on a venue that does not have "minimums"...Hacienda had no minimums 😩so it was perfect...
Hoping for dinner buffet, no host bar, dance floor, control of sound system, private, indoor or indoor/outdoor....
