Italian Stags

Yeah exactly, from what I understand is the ticket usually covers the dinner and booze and then its just games and stuff that people pay for. I've been to a few stags precovid and the pricing was around $75-$100 for the ticket but that included food and alcohol. Usually a night out with the buds cost north of $200 for food and booze so i never saw it as too much a of a difference. Yeah, I also agree the stag opinion varies for each individual and usually its just a huge thing for Italians in the GTA. Well hopefully I can plan a good one for my buddy and everyone enjoys themselves. lol

A lot of the pricing will also be affected by how many people that are not family/friends you think you can draw into the event. I'm not a stag guy myself but if a friend were to ask if I wanted to go to one and it's priced at $50-$100 that covers a full dinner, open bar, and entertainment, I would be inclined to as that pricing for offering is very reasonable. But for events where I don't know the couple and they'll charge $50+ for just the entrance fee (drinks and raffle tickets extra, barely any food), that would be a hard no for me. People in the GTA aren't exactly thrilled to be support paying for a wedding of someone they don't know and likely aren't invited to when they already have their own bills to pay.

Hey Hank,

From my very limited research I've done that's around what I'm seeing being typical pricing. I guess everything is just becoming extremely expensive.

If you're offering full on food and open bar, you can probably charge higher. It'll also depend on which package you use at the banquet hall. I've seen them be charged anywhere between $50-$100 per person but that was many years ago.
