Venue adding additional costs

What are the 'small' tweaks and the costs they are proposing? x

This! And hello & welcome ?

Thank you for the welcome ?

Things like...

we wanted to change the wedding breakfast meal from their options - still chicken based but cooked differently

we wanted to bring in a speciality drink as a favour (instead of chocolates or another food item) but because it's a drink they want to supply it, which means it's 4 x the price we could have purchased it ourselves for.

You can't win on the favour, so don't push it.

You really need to pick your battles - if it's chicken in a slightly different sauce, then take that up as your fight for a change without added cost. If, of course, you are trying to get pan fried chicken for 100, instead of oven-cooked chicken for 100, you ain't gonna win that battle either. It will completely change how their kitchen runs on the day, and how many staff they need.
