One of the biggest challenges event planners face is hidden costs that surface after the initial venue quote. Some venues advertise an attractive per-person rate, only to add fees later for essentials like:
Linens, tables, and chairs – Sometimes itemized as rental fees, even though they’re required for the event.
Flatware, glassware, and plateware – Basic dining necessities that may come with an unexpected upcharge.
Service fees and gratuities – These can add 20-30% to your final bill if not disclosed upfront.
Setup and breakdown costs – Some venues charge extra for staff to handle these event-day logistics.
Venue access time restrictions – Need extra setup or breakdown time? Some venues charge hourly rates beyond the standard window.
Why This Matters: Unexpected costs can strain a budget and create last-minute stress, especially when approvals or budget adjustments are needed.
