The quote looks tidy, but before paying the deposit I want to understand whether premium drinks and extensión after midnight are quoted separately and what questions we should ask.

The community suggested asking for an included/excluded version of the open bar quote, with time limits and the unclear point on premium drinks and extensión after midnight are quoted separately. The goal was to close the vague parts before signing.

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, "Premium drinks after midnight are separate: how risky is this bar quote" 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, "Premium drinks after midnight are separate: how risky is this bar quote" 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 "Premium drinks after midnight are separate: how risky is this bar quote", 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 "Premium drinks after midnight are separate: how risky is this bar quote" at the top of the supplier recap so everyone answers the same case. This is my check 2 for "Premium drinks after midnight are separate: how risky is this bar quote", 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 "Premium drinks after midnight are separate: how risky is this bar quote", 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 "Premium drinks after midnight are separate: how risky is this bar quote", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.
