Bittersweet Farms

wiki8

Hi everyone, I have been looking at the BSF menu online, and saw they have a 6,000 dollar minimum for Friday and Saturday night private parties in their main room. I know they usually host weddings on the smaller side, about 100 to 120 people, is this minimum reasonable compared to other venues, or does this seem a little high? I know their room rental is a lot lower than others, which might make up for it. Thanks in advance for your help!

Is the minimum a total when taking in to account the bar, apps, and dinner?  If so, I think you'll hit $6000 without a problem.  If it's just dinner than you're talking about $60 per plate.  Also, does it include staffing?  I would find out exactly what can be put into the $6,000 minimum.  Our catering  estimate is for 130 people, 4-5 tray passed apps and 3 stations, and totals close to $12,000.   

Good luck on your venue search!

Our venue has a $6,000 minimum on Saturday nights in the fall.  We are having our wedding in November just so we don't have to meet a $9,000 minimum which they
have in the summer.

We are having 100-125 guests and we will hit $6,000 easy with two stationary hords
and 4 passed, dinner and ice cream served with our cake.   I think that is very reasonable.

We were going to go with a Venue in North Darmouth and we had chosen Bittersweet Farm as our rehersal dinner site.  The food there is wonderful.   And the manager
we dealt with was great.  We have sinced moved our venue and it's no where
near Bittersweet so we will have to look for another site for our rehersal dinner sadly.

It's very reasonable for the area and if your having 100 to 125 people you will hit that number no problem.  Most places have a minimum around that number.
