    Hi ladies! I'm on the hunt for a Chinese Seafood Restaurant for our reception and was wondering what is the average price per table? I've seen them range from $400-$1000.

     

    Thanks!

    $400 is on the very low end, and I have never seen that. Then again, I'm from Boston which as an established Chinatown with many restaurants that host weddings. You have to remember that you're paying for food and service.  Also if you want to count in the alcohol you'll serve at the wedding, the cost per table goes up. I believe our tables were around $600 each. Every restaurant is different though. You just need to inquire about their wedding packages. They probably will have several for you to choose from and you can request to modify the menus depending on what you want.

    The nicer Chinese restaraunts in the Bay Area are probably about $450-700 per table. I think Vancouver wouldn't be too far off this range?

    i just went to a wedding a couple weekends ago where the reception was a chinese banquet. we had 12 courses, all of them different types of seafood. (shark, lobster, crab, salmon, halibut, etc.) but there was also duck and couple other meats.

    the bride said it was $62 dollars a plate, but included with that was the rental fee of the entire restaurant.

    Wow, prices in Houston range from $300-$500.  I thought I was getting a deal at $360 with tax and tip included, but now I'm thinking it's a STEAL.  I've got 10 courses, lobster, scallops, peking duck, etc.

    I say if you have a large number of guests, you should consider the wedding banquet package, it's much cheaper than the average ones.
