Thanks E_____.  I'm considering the xyz option [boring details omitted].  I believe that for this option, you quoted me $___ per person, assuming cash payment.  This figure, as I understand it, covers everything -- no costs beyond the $___ per person, so for ___ guests, we're talking about $_______ [insert REDONKULOUS amount of money].  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I can't do a rehearsal dinner for $_____.  But I'd very much like to make this work.  Do you think there's a way to do so for $___ per person?  I'm open to cutting back on a few things, although I'm not sure what those things would be given what you've said about the buffet: that, unlike the seated dinner, there's not much to cut out.  One possibility (for us; I don't know if it's a possibility for you) is that we could supply the wine and Champagne -- P.'s brother is in the wine business.  Just a thought.

Also, we could have people either bring their own silverware, and/or eat with their hands, and/or supply plastic sporks which we would purchase at Duane Reade.

Just kidding.

I look forward to your thoughts; again, I'd like very much to make this work, but at $___ each, it simply won't.

Many thanks,

Fauxhawk
