So here is the deal. I am getting married in August and have decided on a venue. I will be renting a private residence in CT. It is a gorgeous, extremely large home with several bedrooms, amazing outdoor space and an inground pool. Normally the person who owns the home only rents it out to couples, but has agreed to allow me to hold my small (35 people) wedding there. When he rents it to couples he charges $350 per night. I plan to rent the home for 3 nights and have approximately 10 people stay over each night. Plus, have the wedding there, mostly outdoors.
So this is where I need some feedback. He told me that he would not know where to begin to come up with a price for the 3 days and asked me to come up with a price. I have one in mind that I think is fair. I also spoke to my sister and she came up with a number that was way off from mine. When I was researching other places to have my wedding, like museums, most places were going to charge an event fee of $900 - $1000 just for chairs and use of the space.
Keeping his normal per night charge in mind, which is usually for one or two couples at most, what would you consider fair to offer for the three nights and use of the property for the wedding? I am not sure if it matters, but of the 35 people coming to the wedding, about 30 of them are between the ages of 45 and 80. The others are my nieces and nephews.
Thanks in advance for your input!
