• Is the parking paid separately?

• Does the price of the wedding include an apartment for newlyweds, or maybe for wedding guests as well? What is the room rate for wedding guests?

• Alcohol – is it available on site or you should organize it yourselves? Is there a fee for bringing your own alcohol (so-called "cork")?

• Wedding cake, caks, fruit - if NOT included in the price (you have to ask for without a doubt), should you buy them yourself or are they available on site?

• Will the food that will be left after the ceremony be taken with you?

• Is the wedding dinner and hot meals are served to guests for tables or put on a separate table (in the form of a buffet).

• Do you pay for a musical setting, a photographer and a cameraman equally like for extra guests, or, for example, for a half of the cost of a guest for them"? (as an example, for an orchestra of 4 people, we pay extra for four people, sometimes for two, and sometimes you can determine yourself how much food will be allocated to the orchestra).
