At Palacio de Meres, the wedding menu costs between €200 and €300 per guest. That is the figure that weighs most heavily on the budget. The open bar is included in the menu, so it isn't a separate cost. The manor house (palacio) hosts banquets from 60 guests up to a maximum of 400. Are there fewer than 60 of you? Then the banquet, as the venue offers it, won't suit your wedding.
What lies behind the price
What lies behind that price? A manor house with origins around the 14th century, surrounded by nature and 10 minutes from Oviedo. Today it is run by the fifteenth generation of the same owning family. For the wedding day there are banquet halls, a terrace, a garden, a marquee and a chapel. There is also a space for the civil ceremony, a dance area, a children's area and parking. And a kitchen designed for catering.
Who cooks each menu
That last detail matters. A bride who visited says the venue offers catering from Nacho Manzano, from Balbona and from the Balneario de Salinas. That's why it's worth knowing, from the very first conversation, which caterer cooks each menu. The same bride admits that Palacio de Meres was her favourite from the start, but it was beyond her budget. It's an honest comment. Better to bear it in mind before you fall in love with the place.

What changes the final figure
Beyond the banquet, the venue covers the ceremony, music, transport, decoration and photography. Each of those services can change the final figure. Nobody outside can give you that figure exactly. The only reliable answer on the total price is the one Palacio de Meres itself gives you, with your date and your guest numbers in front of them.
In short
In short: between €200 and €300 per person for the menu, open bar included, for 60 to 400 guests. From there, the total depends on what you add.

How to ask for a quote
So what now? Write to Palacio de Meres and ask for a quote with two details: how many guests you expect and which date you'd like. Ask them to give you the details of each caterer and of the services you want to book with them. With that reply in writing, comparing becomes much easier.
