hi im new to this site x i wanted a bit of advice- me and my partner wanted to get married on 18th june 2011 at 1pm or 2. phoned up the town hall and they said that its already been booked from 1-3. they said we could have 4pm or earlier on in the day. what do u think i should do? town hall said they arent booked up on 11th or 25th of june so dont know whether just bring wedding forward in order to have the time we wanted. we are planning on having a buffet reception in the evening. any advice would be great x

do you want the wedding breakfast???? If so id bring it forward if not 4.00 would be perfect for just the evening buffet. :-)

We are getting married at 4.00 so we will only need to cater one meal (to save a bit of money)

What Hails said :) And welcome to UKBride xxx
It's right what they say
"The course of true love never runs smoothly"
But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D

4pm is a lot later than you wanted, what were you planning to do in the extra time? if it was for photo's etc then i would ask your photographer how much time is needed coz 4pm is pushing it a little i think but depends how much you have to fit in! Is the 18th June a special date? if its an anniversary or something you could move the wedding forward then be on honeymoon for the anniversary xx
hey welcome! If youve got your heart set on 1/2pm then change the date if you havent picked that one for any reason. If you had a 4pm wedding it may work out cheaper because then you could probably get away with not having the sit down meal and having a buffet in its place?x

I think the day would be too short at 4:00, I hit married at 1:pm 2nd time around (and 3pm first time, this felt too short a day)!!!
thanks to all you that offered ur advice-much appreciated (sp?) x i thought about it quite a bit in work and decided to stick with 4pm on 18th june 2011. i havent got a massive budget so in a way it saves on having a wedding breakfast and just having a buffet instead. i havent chosen the date for any special reason- was aware that the decleration of marriage only lasts 12 months got our appt on 21st of this month. im getting quite excited now bout things- brought my garter, tiara and invitations so slowly getting things sorted.xx

hey im getting married at 4.30 and having a buffett "main" mail then evening guests come at 8pm the about 9pm evening buffet comes out just so everyone is fed plus im having quite a few kids at my wedding so i know some will eat at the "main" meal and others will eat at night plus i know some of my guests have a BIG appitite, mainly im having the to buffets cos i dnt want my cermony guests to be straving till like 9 ish but thats just me if u cud get away with having it about 4 then do so then saves some money on the food part and u can put it towards something else, but remember do it the way u want thats wat i always say wen it comes to wedding etc its down to the indavisl person (soz spelling rubbish lol ) xx
