The costs of a wedding venue depend on your preferences, the number of guests, the schedule of the day, and even the day of the week on which you're getting married. Some wedding venues, for example, require a certain minimum revenue on Fridays and Saturdays (during peak season).
What is a minimum revenue requirement?
Are you planning to get married on a popular day or date? Then you will likely encounter a minimum revenue requirement. This means that the total booking value of your wedding must meet a minimum amount. This is often applied on specific days during the peak season, such as Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
