Contract value

$250,000

No explicit dollar amount is given. Estimating based on 25 ceremonies, each requiring a venue capable of up to 12 000 guests. Typical rental fees for large event spaces (including lighting, AV, tables, chairs, décor, security, and basic catering coordination) range from $5,000 to $20,000 per ceremony, depending on size and amenities. Assuming an average of $10,000 per ceremony yields: 25 × $10,000 = $250,000. Adding a modest contingency for additional services (≈10%) brings the ballpark to roughly $275,000. Therefore a reasonable estimate for the total contract value is between $250‑$300 K, with $250,000 as a conservative figure.
