Venue totals are the venue fee plus catering, bar, rentals and cleaning, compared at 120 guests (or the venue's cap if it holds fewer). Buckets nobody disclosed use flat market-rate placeholders. Tiers split the priced listings into thirds, so they describe how listings compare with each other, not an industry standard. Everything here is shared by couples and may be out of date.
