Graduation party in Bologna with a small budget: what matters most?

We are 28 people. I can spend on either a better room, better food or a small DJ setup, not all three.

I would ask first for three comparable options with the same guest count, same date window and same service level. Without that, every supplier answers a different question and the budget becomes impossible to read. In this thread, "Graduation party in Bologna with a small budget: what matters most?" is the line I would use so the supplier understands the problem quickly.

Thanks everyone, I am sending the supplier a short list of concrete questions and asking for a closed version. That makes the decision calmer and easier to compare. In this thread, "Graduation party in Bologna with a small budget: what matters most?" is the line I would use so the supplier understands the problem quickly.

Compare only quotes with the same guest count and the same service hours. If one supplier counts five hours and another counts eight, the total is not really comparable. I would keep this question open until the supplier replies in writing, because the small unclear line is usually the expensive one. This is my check 1 for "Graduation party in Bologna with a small budget: what matters most?", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.

I would not negotiate before understanding the vague lines. First close what can still move; then decide whether to remove something or look elsewhere. For this specific thread, I would write "Graduation party in Bologna with a small budget: what matters most?" at the top of the supplier recap so everyone answers the same case. This is my check 2 for "Graduation party in Bologna with a small budget: what matters most?", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.

Ask who will physically be there on the event day in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna. The person selling the service is not always the person solving problems on site. Because the event is in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, I would also ask who is reachable on the day, not only who sends the quote. This is my check 3 for "Graduation party in Bologna with a small budget: what matters most?", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.

I would ask for a simple included/excluded table with VAT, time limits and cancellation terms. With EUR 1,200, the quote should be readable without chasing calls. With EUR 1,200, the useful comparison is the calm one: same hours, same guests, same responsibilities. This is my check 4 for "Graduation party in Bologna with a small budget: what matters most?", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.
