What is the room for menu adjustment?

Substituting dishes at the same price is the basic principle for wedding banquet menu adjustment. Sign a hotel wedding banquet contract.

In order to enrich the dishes, the hotel can make a certain amount of adjustments in different menus for the couple.

The same principle applies to menu negotiation in most social restaurants, but menu customization in social restaurants can be more personalized.

What more discounts can you get after booking the designated number of tables?

For hotels or restaurants, a banquet hall that can accommodate more than 30 tables will not be able to accommodate only 10 wedding banquets.
