Can the minimum spend be negotiated or adjusted based on the specific requirements of the event?

Typically, minimum spend fees are not negotiable, as clients are expected to commit to a predetermined amount for food and drinks. However, discussing with the venue manager may lead to adjustments in the minimum spend amount for smaller or larger events. We still recommend that you be prepared to meet the required amount when booking the venue, as venues often have thresholds that need to be met.

What happens if the actual spend falls below the agreed minimum?

While there are no penalties, you are obligated to pay the agreed minimum, regardless of whether guests consume the initially set value in food and drinks. To avoid overspending, encourage RSVPs from guests, ensuring a more accurate estimate of attendance. If you are hosting an event in which your guests are paying for their own refreshments, you can also inform your guests that they can contribute to a successful event by buying food and drinks from the venue. These tips can be  particularly helpful in preventing unexpected costs when renting the venue.
