Hello Kathleen,
I have worked with 400+ cultural institutions in the U.S. for 25+ years as a consultant and former caterer and operator.
In the world of rental packages they are done ala carte and package pricing. Normally the pricing and/or packages are dictated by the local area market served.
Most of our clients and other institutions 'benchmark' ALL facility rental market and
competitive venues in the area (not including clubs, hotels, etc. for the most part). Then based on the benchmarking they develop pricing, packages or not based on the market(s) they serve
to be sure they are competitive.
I am happy to discuss with you if helpful, no cost/charge or obligation, let me know if helpful.
Best regards,
Art

Subject: Event Rental Question - All Inclusive Price Per Person
Good afternoon.
My name is Kathleen Lugarich and I'm the Program Specialist at the Army Historical Foundation that supports the National Museum of the U.S. Army. We are looking into developing facility rental packages for military personnel (for special events like reunions, receptions, etc.) and one thing we have learned is that many military groups look for pricing per person that includes food, drink, facility rental, etc. I was wondering if there were any Museums that offer that type of packaging for military groups.
Thank you for your time. I hope everyone is healthy, safe, and sane in these times.
Kathleen
