Local planning checks
- Confirm fire-code capacity and outside-catering permission before comparing venue prices.
- Budget delivery, labour, parking and overtime explicitly because they can outweigh rental savings.
- Use current written proposals for final decisions; this market carries a lower benchmark confidence.
