I would ask for a simple included/excluded table with VAT, time limits and cancellation terms. With EUR 85 per guest, 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 1 for "Welcome aperitivo on the Amalfi Coast: what should be included?", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.

This is my check 2 for "Welcome aperitivo on the Amalfi Coast: what should be included?", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.
