Hey! I’m in need of serious advice.
My fiancé and I are looking to rent a house with a big/nice back yard to do a back yard wedding sometime next year (50 ppl max). I was told by a few people to look at air b&b and VRBO because they’re usually a little more flexible.
Then I found what I thought was THE ONE. I contacted the property manager and asked if they’d allow a small back yard wedding and she said yes then gave me the prices for next year since they weren’t up yet. This morning I received a message saying that they charge an additional $2,750 for weddings 25-50 people and $2000 for weddings up to 25 people along with an additional $450 cleaning fee. I asked what the “venue fee” included because that seems really steep and she said use of the space.
Has anyone else heard of this or had this happen? Should I not use the word wedding at all when asking... in order to avoid a wedding price surge or is that normal?
