I have found a reception venue that I am ready to put a contract on, their food and beverage minimum for HALF the ballroom is 4,500, the minimum for the entire ballroom is 9,000. Half the ballroom fits our party, but I'm afraid it will be tight with a dancefloor and a DJ. 9k before taxes and service fees is out of our price range but we could do 7,500 - should I try to negotiate the minimum to get the whole ballroom or do you think we will offend someone and possibly risk using the space at all?! HELP - your opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
