Quote under reviewTuscany villa asks 50% deposit: is that normal?

Decision pendingRooftop dinner in Rome for a 40th birthday: worth the extra cost?
lucas_travels - EUR 4,500
The rooftop is twice the price of a private trattoria room. Guests are flying in for one weekend, so I want it to feel special without wasting money.
Lucas got a very practical answer: if the view is shared, drinks end early and rain moves everyone inside, the trattoria may actually feel more generous.

Quote clarifiedEUR 6,200 for a 40th birthday venue: what would you ask before blocking it
Helen and Mark - EUR 6,200
The quote looks tidy, but before paying the deposit I want to understand whether security, parking and bad weather setup remain unclear and what questions we should ask.
