The best way to make sure you're getting the most bang for your buck on your function rooms is to hire an outside caterer or bring your own food. Always check what the policies are first, as some venues don't allow outside caterers or BYO. Consider booking a venue with minimum spend pricing, which means that you can get a function space for free if you spend a certain amount on food and drinks during your event. You could also consider booking the gathering spaces on a weekday, as this could result in a cheaper price.
