Private chef in Lucca at EUR 110 per guest: table service is not included

For family celebration, a cheap menu can stop being cheap if glassware, staff after midnight or setup are outside the line items. In this thread, "Private chef in Lucca at EUR 110 per guest: table service is not included" is the line I would use so the supplier understands the problem quickly.

For open bar, I want duration, included brands, ice, glasses, bartenders and what happens when the package ends. 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 "Private chef in Lucca at EUR 110 per guest: table service is not included", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.

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. Because the event is in Lucca, Tuscany, I would also ask who is reachable on the day, not only who sends the quote. This is my check 3 for "Private chef in Lucca at EUR 110 per guest: table service is not included", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.

With EUR 3,300, the useful comparison is the calm one: same hours, same guests, same responsibilities. This is my check 4 for "Private chef in Lucca at EUR 110 per guest: table service is not included", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.
