I got engaged on Christmas Day and have just joined UKBride :)
I would be so grateful for any advice you can give me. We are planning to get married in July or August 2015 and have a budget of around £7,000 (at an absolute push £11,000 if we save like crazy over the next 18 months).
I've already decided to buy a dress from China, do handmade invitations and ditch things like favours. The issue is, whilst we don't mind having just family and bridemaids/best man at the ceremony itself, we both have quite a large network of friends and it looks like we'll have 150 for the daytime and 200 in total for the evening reception!
Does anyone have recommendations of any nice but fairly inexpensive venues in the Birmingham/Midlands/Warwickshire area with space for this many people, or any ideas on how we can keep the cost of food down? We don't mind if we have to do things a bit differently i.e. not have a sit down meal/have a buffet/BBQ/hog roast etc.
We would also consider renting a marquee if that would work out cheaper; has anyone out there got any experience of that? I'd just worry about the weather putting a real dampener on the celebrations!
The main things that are important to us are that we really would like to be able to invite 150-200 people, keep our guests happy with enough food and drink and dance the night away ideally until 2 or 3am.
Not too much to ask I hope?!
Any advice/tips/ideas/recommendations will be VERY gratefully received :)
Thank you so much x
