average wedding cost questions????

This is still the early stages of our wedding planning, but I was curious to see what people thought about a quote I recieved.  I am located in southern vermont with not a lot of catering choices, so I found a place in nearby ny state(about 30 minute drive).  The place is beautiful only books one wedding per day, give us use of the facility which includes a formal dining room and a glass enclosed reception room, with bar. They have beautiful safari style cane chairs so no seat covers are needed. Our ceremony can be held here for no additional fee, the meal includes a sit down dinner, salad,rolls; choice of beef, chicken or fish with sides. There is a bridal lounge and room for the groom to prepare as well.  This includes linens and a bartender.  The price is 49/pp not including tax or 19% gratuity.  I really dont know what the average cost would be if I broke it down with having to rent a facility, pay a caterer, rent linens, bartender fee, possibly rent a tent/table/chairs etc.  Does this seem like a good deal?

    That's an excellent price!  I would say it's very hard in the NY area to find any wedding venue for under $75 pp, so $49 pp with all that included is a really good price.

    This seems incredible...I'm curious to know what this place is because I am having a hard time finding anything close to this. Would you share?

    That sounds like a great deal to me, especially considering that they're throwing in TWO rooms to get ready in AND the ceremony space!  I'd say if you like it and can swing it, snap it up! (And then, post where it is, so anyone else here looking for a good spot can maybe book there, too!)

    That is a great cost, very close to what I am paying for my ceremony / reception site here. I say grab it while you can!
