Hello, I was just wondering how much people spent on their weddings. My fiancee and I were supposed to be having a budget wedding but I found the most perfect venue today food etc included for £8500. Is this too much to spend on a venue??

That's a hard question to answer. It depends what time of the year you are having your wedding, where in the country you are, what type of venue it is, how many people it's for and what's included in the package. That could be a great deal or a rip off, only by comparing it to what else is out there in your area will you know if it's too much.

Does this include your dj, table centres etc? X
If that's within your budget, isnt going to break the bank then go for it x

It completely depends on the wedding you want. I am having 110 guests day time and about 20-30 more evening guests. The venue is in cambridgeshire and I am doing it off peak in February on a Sunday to keep costs lower, venue is still costing me around £8,500. I am estimating my whole wedding minus the honeymoon will cost around £16,000-£17,000.
