caterers for wedding in cortona villa

[Shiv]

Hi all,

I'm planning my wedding for around 25 guests, September 2011 in Cortona.
As I already have a wedding planner, but I'm not entirely happy with the prices quoted for the wedding reception.

Do you have any other suggestions for caterers? Our budget is €80 - €90 per person, and I'm getting quotes well over this!

A 3 course meal, with appetisers, wine, sparkling wine, table service at the villa, set up of tables and table service. a wedding cake also.

Any help would be fantastic

Thanks

Hello Shiv,
congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

As for the prices, as you are experiencing, they can vary and are in general high.
Every quotation depends on total courses, beverages, service, etcetera.

You may get in touch with the following wedding planner or with this one, just to see how much they estimate for your wedding and then you can make up your mind consequently.

Moreover, you can read some useful info I found on TripAdvisor website regarding wedding and its costs in Tuscany, just to hear other people's opinions.

Hope this helps.

Good luck and congratulations once again!

Fabrizio

Ciao Shiv,

You might also contact this Preludio restaurant in Cortona that offers catering service including table service and table ware.... being local they might give you different rates than what you've been seeing so far.

Keep in mind what each estimate you've seen includes - tables and chairs might come from another company that the caterer uses, so another might offer a lower cost without those included.

good luck!

I offer 2 suggestions. First, check with the hotel management. They may have local suggestions. 2nd- can recommend Umbria Driver-- Gianluca Siena. Excellent and help you with transportaion and possibly other matters that locals would know.
Relais Alla Corte Del Sole is beautiful!!! What a setting for a wedding reception. Congrats!!!

Have a great wedding catering company like Peter Rowland in Tuscany? I really like the style and warmth that they have.

Can anyone recommend me something please?
