Budgeting Considerations

For your budgeting purposes, we recommend the following when doing your calculations:

  • Cocktail receptions should allow for a minimum of 3-5 pieces of appetizers per person for each hour of the reception. Appetizers are to be ordered in a minimum of 3 dozen per selection.
  • One bottle of champagne serves 6 champagne flutes.
  • One bottle of wine serves 5 glasses. We recommend 2 bottles for tables of 8 guests.
  • Late night snack: we recommend ordering for no more than 50% of your total guest count. Snacks should be served approx. 3-4 hours after dinner, no later than 10:45 p.m.
