The restaurant wedding isn’t for everyone. But if that's your style, here’s what you need to know about having one.
Partial buyouts are a middle ground for weddings that might be too big for a private dining room, or restaurants that don’t have a formalized PDR. That would be an option like Frankies Spuntino, a Brooklyn restaurant that does about 40 to 50 weddings a year. Its backyard garden is connected to an old blacksmith stable, and those spacesdepending on the size of the wedding .
Whether a full buyout makes sense financially depends on the size of your group. For 10 people, “buying out a restaurant to have the private space might be a little crazy because that food and beverage minimum is going to be nearly impossible to meet with that number of people,” Donovan says. “But if you have that sweet spot where you’re 50 people or 70 people, and that food and beverage minimum is pretty easily within reach, then it can be a great deal.
The reality of the wedding tax also depends on the kind of wedding you’re looking to have. According to Donovan, Frankies doesn’t charge differently by event type, but a wedding, because of its additional setup needs, might need more time in the space. She notes that some restaurants might charge more for a wedding to account for the fact that weddings generally involve more meetings, like a florist, photographer, and parents needing walk-throughs of the space.
Accordingly, a wedding planner can be especially helpful for nontraditional spaces, Kanu adds. “It’s having someone who’s been there, done that, who’s there in the corner helping you to think through the logistics,” she says. Some restaurants, including Redbird, will require a wedding planner, or at the very least a day-of coordinator. Frankies requires the latter for weddings with more than 50 guests.
