Thanks for the info! I guess the killer at Tensing Pen is that the quoted bar prices are only for 2 hours so if you want to extend the party it is very expensive. I originally wanted to have our wedding at Rockhouse but I was told that if you have the party there it must be 20 people or less (ours is about 50 people) or you must rent the whole restaurant which is 8,000 minimum. Tensing Pen ended up being more affordable for our size group and the customization we want to have.

Hi all! I am getting married at Tensing Pen in May 2011. We are so excited! Shanique has been really great and always quick to reply for those of you nervous about communication. It does get pricey, but I think weddings are just really expensive. The fees I know about so far are below  - set up $10 per person - chair covers $7 per chair. You can also rent chairs from Tai Floral instead but they are even more expensive. $7.20 for wooden chairs and $14 for chivari chairs. - dinner $40 to $50 per person depending on the menu you select - if you use a vendor that isn't on their approved list the costing is $500 per vendor. this doesn't apply if the vendor is a relative or friend (i.e. you cousin is marrying you, your best friend is taking the pictures, etc).  I'm curious if anyone has used the live regaee band Shanique recommends called Irie Connections?  Also, how much is tensing pen quoting you for alcohol? I have been told $55 per person for 2 hours of limited bar during dinner and 3 hours of open bar after dinner. This seems really really expensive to me.  Are any of you having both a rehearsal dinner and wedding reception at Tensing Pen? I was thinking about doing the rehearsal dinner somewhere else, but wasn't sure where to go...  Thanks for all your help! C

Thanks for all of the great advice! So so so helpful.
