The price typically includes the use of the space, seating arrangements, and in-house catering, especially at venues with a minimum spend model. For instance, The Bonham Hotel offers food and drink packages that are charged on a per-person basis. However, for venues that charge a hire fee, like the Royal Scots Club, the price usually covers the use of the room but not catering or decorations, which could lead to extra fees. Be sure to clarify what’s included in the price when selecting your venue.
