My venue only allows for a consumption bar and I naively budgeted under $1000 for this. I was doing some research today and came across this: Plan for two to three drinks per person for the first hour of the reception and one drink per person for every additional hour of the reception.
Another of the effects and benefits of limestone is that is lowers the poisonous effects of toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, zinc and nickel which endanger both fish and human health.
Limestone is plentiful on the surface of the earth and quite useful. Other benefits of quarrying are the possibilities of using the quarry as a water reservoir/recreation area if it is safe enough and in other cases where the water table is very low the quarry could be used for landfill purposes.
