We're looking for a villa to hold a wedding for 10-12 people, all of whom will be staying in the villa. It's quite expensive for this many and have been a little daunted by having to pay for an extra night to cover having the function. This extra night's payment doesn't include anything. Is this the norm? Has anyone had a function at a villa that didn't include this cost? Can understand paying a deposit that's refundable if no damages etc are incurred but even then you don't have to have a "function" for high jinks to occur. To sleep 10-12 people the cost is about $1000 per night so an extra $1000 really throws the budget. It's going to be a quiet affair so it's not as if the staff will be kept up all night. May have to rethink and have the actual reception at a restaurant.
Can someone tell me how much they paid per head at a restaurant?
