Understand standard service taxes and GST implications on rentals and catering.

A common wedding planning surprise is the addition of hidden surcharges. Official banquet services and caterings attract standard GST (usually 18% on venue rentals). When negotiating with the banquet manager, verify if the quoted plate rates and AC room packages are inclusive of taxes. Insist on a clean, itemized billing sheet to ensure you are protected against sudden bill inflations.

📌 Key Editorial Takeaways & Booking Guidelines

  • Direct property connect: Negotiate rates directly with actual venue managers with zero broker markups on DayToBook.

  • Free support services: Avail DayToBook's direct coordinator support for walkthroughs and tastings at zero charges.
  • Early reservations: Lock in date availability 6 to 9 months in advance to protect against seasonal surges.
