Christening — Kohtla-Järve

A christening lunch runs three hours if the room works and five if it doesn't. Kohtla-Järve venues vary — community halls with narrow doorways, restaurants that assume you will use their sound system, private spaces where you supply everything including the tables. The cost splits cleanly: the gear that has to be there, and the gear you add because the room needs help.

Most of the budget sits in three places. How many guests determines tables and seating. Whether there will be speeches decides microphones and a small PA. If the venue has working power in the right places, the day starts an hour later and costs less.
