Lake Como open bar at EUR 28 per guest: good deal or too many exclusions

We are planning from abroad and the supplier includes three-hour cocktail bar, two bartenders, ice and standard spirits. The number is EUR 28 per person, but premium drinks and extensión after midnight are quoted separately.

The most useful reply split open bar, base price, staff, timing and VAT in Lake Como, Lombardy. Once the quote was read that way, EUR 28 per person became easier to compare.

To compare properly, split food, staff, rentals, drinks, transport and late-night service. For wedding party, a cheap menu can stop being cheap if glassware, staff after midnight or setup are outside the line items. In this thread, "Lake Como open bar at EUR 28 per guest: good deal or too many exclusions" is the line I would use so the supplier understands the problem quickly.

Quick update: I am asking for menu, drinks, staff, transport and cleaning as separate lines. In Lake Como, Lombardy, the question is less "is it expensive?" and more "what can still be added later?". In this thread, "Lake Como open bar at EUR 28 per guest: good deal or too many exclusions" is the line I would use so the supplier understands the problem quickly.

Ask who will physically be there on the event day in Lake Como, Lombardy. The person selling the service is not always the person solving problems on site. 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 "Lake Como open bar at EUR 28 per guest: good deal or too many exclusions", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.

For catering, check staff, drinks, rentals, transport, cake service and clearing time. A menu can look cheap while service makes the final bill move. For this specific thread, I would write "Lake Como open bar at EUR 28 per guest: good deal or too many exclusions" at the top of the supplier recap so everyone answers the same case. This is my check 2 for "Lake Como open bar at EUR 28 per guest: good deal or too many exclusions", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.

Ask for quantities per guest, not just attractive dish names. A buffet without pieces, service points and refill timing is hard to compare. Because the event is in Lake Como, Lombardy, I would also ask who is reachable on the day, not only who sends the quote. This is my check 3 for "Lake Como open bar at EUR 28 per guest: good deal or too many exclusions", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.

For open bar, I want duration, included brands, ice, glasses, bartenders and what happens when the package ends. With EUR 3,400, the useful comparison is the calm one: same hours, same guests, same responsibilities. This is my check 4 for "Lake Como open bar at EUR 28 per guest: good deal or too many exclusions", 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 3,400, the quote should be readable without chasing calls. 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 5 for "Lake Como open bar at EUR 28 per guest: good deal or too many exclusions", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.
