Its difficult to price. I had a package, so 40 at a 3 course wedding breakfast and 100 at a buffet night. Total package cost me £2000.00 but that included the extras like room hire, 3 hotel rooms, disco etc. To add extra people on it was £29.95 for the day and £12.00 at night, but of course, it was cheaper than that in the package deal. We got our own wine and paid corkage. That was far cheaper in the end

But that's canapés then our 3 course sit down meal and a BBQ in the evening.
