Why two prices are rarely comparable
A figure only means something alongside what it includes: how many nights, how many beds on site, furniture, what time the party must end, and above all whether you can bring your own caterer. A €6,000 venue with an imposed caterer can end up costing more than a €9,000 dry hire. Each listing spells this out under "At a glance".
What moves the price
- The day: a Friday or Sunday is negotiable, a Saturday in June much less so.
- The season: May to September concentrates demand; April and October are often more affordable.
- Notice: a date coming up soon that the owner would rather fill than leave empty.
