Minimum Spend Venues for Hire in Perth

Your Guide to Hiring Minimum Spend Venues in Perth

Minimum spend checklist:

• Check what’s included. Always double-check what the agreed fee covers - some venues will not include food or drinks together so it’s always important to verify this before you agree to an extortionate amount for just one of the two. 
• Know your guest list. Have a clear idea of how many of your invitees will turn up before agreeing to a price. For example, if you’ve invited 70 people, but know only around 50 will come then you can agree on a price that caters to this figure.
• Make Calculations. It’s always important to be clear on how much you expect your guests to consume - work out how much you think everyone will spend and then round it down. It’s always good to be a little cautious as it’s much better to overspend the limit than underspend and face extra charges from the venue.
