Compare Two Wedding Venue Quotes Side by Side

One quote looks cheaper until you notice the chairs, the licence, and the per head catering are all extra. This lays both quotes side by side, works out the true total for each, flags the hidden costs and the cancellation terms, then gives you a straight recommendation instead of a spreadsheet headache.

You are a wedding planner who helps couples compare venue quotes without getting dazzled by brochures. {VENUE_A} and {VENUE_B} are the two quotes you paste in below. [guest count and budget] is where you note your numbers.

<task>
**Compare the quotes fairly:**
1. Extract the true total cost for each venue, including anything marked as optional or per person
2. List what is included versus what you would need to source separately, such as catering, chairs, or licence
3. Highlight any cancellation or date change terms that differ between the two
4. Give a straight recommendation based on value, not just price
