50-100 depends on how well you know the person.

作者: 小叻 時間: 2009-3-3 10:35

wow..less than HK? HK at least 500 wor~

作者: raima 時間: 2009-3-3 10:50

minimum $80, up to $100-$120 per person on average

作者: azndimsumboi 時間: 2009-3-3 11:05

also depend of what kind of banquet.

eg. for chinese restaurant (each table can sit 10)
for the wedding dinner the least $$ per table is $600, $800, then $900.

if you like to drink wine, then pay a little more, if no wine, then a little less is ok.

Or if not going at all, $30 is ok.

普通熟就CAD$80-100，好熟當然就唔止呢個價啦~
如果唔去飲的話就買禮物or gift card，$30 to $50 la

作者: KY+NY 時間: 2009-3-3 11:32

公價$50

Yeah that's my range too. I think $50 was the norm 10 years ago.

I've been invited to few expensive Chinese Wedding Banquet, the host "Hints" us by showing us the dinner menu that the banquet cost $2,000 a table! so you are expected contribute accordingly.
To be honest, I attend wedding to pay tribute to the bride & grooms, it is their decision to go posh style, why we are being asked to pay for the tab? Even for the expensive dinner, I think
$100-120 per head is really reasonable. But of course we paid accordingly since we know the parents well, and we knew it was their decision, not the young couple.

wah!! $2000 per table is expansive...I don't think it will cost that much even have it at the new "Market" restaurant.

作者: 小叻 時間: 2009-3-3 11:54

so normally ppl pays $80~$100? well I have to decide the dinner place this week la and they are quite expensive... I dun expect to earn or equal la.. but just want to know how much extra i have to pay at the end >~<"

....and some people might buy you gift instead of money! (Did you write "money only please" on your invitation card? haha)
It's not practical to book a banquet place in advance in order to fit into your potentially getting money gift budget. Worse case is the money you're going to get is only able to cover 1/2 or 1/3 of the total banquet fee, set up your max amount to book a place within your affordable budget. After all, it's just "a wedding day". You'll need more money for the married life afterwards.

作者: 小叻 時間: 2009-3-3 12:18

haha.. i should write down money only ne.. j/k

which Chinese restaurant do u think their price is reasonable and nice looking ah? for small banquet like 8 tables?

I've been 2 wedding banquets at Shiang garden that charged $2,000 and up per table, food only, mandatory 15% tip in cash; the other time was at Hyatt Hotel,
a Champagne reception, then they brought dishes from the Chinese restaurant below,
Red wine and Remy VSOP on each table, the food wasn't exceptional but interestingly
served by caucasian waiters.

作者: somewhereintime 時間: 2009-3-3 12:36 標題: 回復 15# 的帖子

Sometimes the elders give jewellery for gift, which you cannot re-sell, I received a whole bundle of Gifts---- cookwares, tablewares etc, collecting dust in my attic for 25 years unopened! The waiters tend to get you to pay the 15% tips in CASH, so be prepared.
And make sure your guests do not order red wine at your expenses, once my friend got charged $3,500 for the vintage red wine at Richmond Kirxn without knowlege of the price tag

you could try to book the Gingeri chinese restaurant in Lansdown mall. i think for even 8 tables can fully book the restaurant alone and the price is reasonable.

last time we got yellow tail for our wine (from bc liquor) and ppl loved it.

How you check Kirin in city square (w12th & Cambie)? I went there for my friend's small banquet (8 tables) and the food was pretty good for the price.
For wine, we found reasonable red and white for her at BC Liquor Store. (white $10, red $13)

Wine is another issue, according to LDB, restaurants are only allowed to mark up 100%, but it is  not always the case. Not everyone would compare the  wine list price against the
current price list.  And it is illegal to BYOB in B.C.  so the restaurants are doing you a flavor
allowing you to bring your own wine or liquor, even you brew them yourself. ( Please refer to Sering It Right Manual).  While caterers can  allow their clients to do their own shopping.

作者: fibbi 時間: 2009-3-3 14:45

Are you sure BYOB is illegal? Even in western style restaurant I can bring my own and they charge corkage fee, although they may charge really high fee to make u order their wine instead.

If I have a very good XO (just an example) myself I can't bring to restaurant to enjoy it? That's no good...

Yes it's illegal. It's a common practice in HK and in most states in US. My friends were surprised that it's not legal.

The restaurant operators may not even know the bylaw; they just do it as courtesy
hoping that it would promote their good will. There are so many LDB regulations, especially
during the reign of NDP. My business dropped 65% during that 10 years and rebound when they were
forced to quit. But some bad law such as the ban of Chinese cooking wine still in place. The price
of Chinese liquors just sky high.

作者: bubblesalt 時間: 2009-3-3 16:23

My mom was thinking about hosting a birthday dinner when we were at this restaurant call "Kum Pak Lok" , it's on park road, the same mall as Happy Date, their food is really good, and they said you can have the whole restaurant for minimum 6 people, and minimum $500 per table, so if you have a small banquet, maybe something to consider...Sorry don't have their English name or number......

作者: tofu 時間: 2009-3-3 18:04

BYOB is illegal in BC, but most of the chinese restaurants just allow you to do it.

just wonder what is the menu for $2500/table ar

作者: tofu 時間: 2009-3-3 18:11

just talked to someone who has gone to Shiang garden recently. there was only $600/table. i believe this is the min.

Went to Forum for B-Day dinner last week, the "Dinner Special" is $688 a table,
substitute squabs for fried chicken $25 extra, Longivity Steamed Buns extra.
Beverage and 15% tips. So you decide how much would you contribute.

作者: 小叻 時間: 2009-3-20 09:19

I just booked Sea Harbor restaurant (the one right opposite to Yaohan).. their price is kinda high..but I think it should be safer...(safer than 皇都&食藝..they might close...) I went to their dim sum several times.. and their food is good..

You should try their dinner as well since they won't be serving dim sum at your wedding banquet but dinner dishes.

作者: 小叻 時間: 2009-3-20 09:42

Vancouver 有無試餐? I know that in HK, when u book the banquet..you can ask for 試餐..but not sure if this is popular in Canada~

I will be disappointed too..but the most disappointed for me is not $$.. is some people u think they will come sure (old times best buddies)..but they didn't come or didn't even try to come... well.. but they are in hk..so can't say much la~ I wish they can come even don't bring any money.. coz it's a memorable moment mah ><

作者: fibbi 時間: 2009-3-20 22:56

Just let me know if not coming mah....i PAID in advance already... >_<

作者: Ultraman 時間: 2009-3-20 23:45

I think the so-called "market price" should also based on the current economic situation. Just like, when many people are jobless now, being laid off..., even new couples should/would re-plan their budgets, it's fair and reasonable for guests to reconsider and readjust their money gift accordingly la. No need to be too generous lor.

作者: 大C姐 時間: 2009-3-21 10:37

我覺得一般同事/普通朋友$100啦。好老實講﹐$100唔係一個俾唔起既數﹐又唔係真係負擔唔到。但係如果個個俾一舊又真係對個couple幫補到好多。所以我都唔明點解要諗咁多﹐除非你濫到每個月都去幾次﹐好似拉姑咁咁鍾意去飲啦。如果熟D你可以俾多D﹐老實講﹐熟朋友結婚唔擺酒你都會請食飯啦。請一餐都幾舊啦﹗

i had my banquet at gingeri last summer. i know they charge you for "trying the meals" per person. i think a lot of chinese restaurants allow you to do that.

with "sea harbour" restaurant, the food is so good. the service is not that bad. one of my friend had wedding banquet there before.

sigh... my dad invited his friend to our banquet last summer, but his friend bought his whole family like 6 ppl and only gave us 200.00 bucks. You can expect some people would give you like 200 bucks by person, but some ppl might give you like 200 bucks per family.

Marco, the manager at sea harbor, is super nice..and really spend his time to find ways to help us save $$ for the banquet..so I am confident that their service will be good

sigh.. i expect ppl will pay less la~ but i can't think ppl pay little and i treat them with bad food and bad service mah.. it's once in a life time thingy..and I want everyone who come to my dinner banquet happy come and happy leave~ i dun want bad food and bad service ruin their moods~ and it's a super memorable moment for me and my bf..and I am so happy that they can come to share this happy moment with us already~~ so i have to treat them well..even they pay little ~~
