Where is your party? The minimums vary by location.
Our party is at UK Lochside. There will be approximately 45 people. I am planning on having a hosted bar, too.
I've wondering if it's possible to get a certain amount of desserts... i.e. $750 or $1000 worth of desserts, or if it always has to be on a per person basis. I feel like I always hear that there is such and over abundance of food at these things
Well, there's a minimum amount you have to spend on food and beverages, and you can either think of it in terms of cost per person or total costdoesn't matter. In Sarah727's case, it's $460, so, technically, with 45 people she only has to spend about $11/person on food AND drinks. Considering Disney's prices, though, that would be extremely difficult, especially when you want to offer alcohol.
Thank you for your response! Ok-So my total food and beverage minimum for that event is $460-So I could potentially just offer a few treats and the hosted bar and easily hit that. I know that most of the menus show @$30 per person. I understand those are just examples, but didnt know if there was, like a $27 minimum per person at the dessert party.
I hope I am making sense?? We are having brunch earlier in the day at LSS--so I know we will hit our overall minimum, but was hoping I could pare down quite a bit at this--just dont think my guests are going to need tons of choices (they will probably just want the free wine )
Also, anyone ever done popcorn at the dessert party? thought that could be fun?
oooo I'm interested in this as well! I thought there was a per person min. at dessert parties- does anyone know for sure if there isn't?
Yes, I remember one bride had three or four different flavors of popcorn planned for her party, but I believe she ended up cutting all but one cuz it was something crazy like $16/person.
Well, it just depends on how you look at it. There is a $23/person food and beverage minimum at all locations, but it's multiplied by the minimum number of people allowed at that location to give you the total food and beverage minimum. So UK Lower has a $460 food and beverage minimum because its guest minimum is 20: $23 x 20 people = $460. But if 5 of your guests dropped out, you'd still have to meet a $460 minimumthey wouldn't lower it to $23 x 15 people.
Does that make sense?
