my cousin had a £350 pp wedding, they invited loads of people but none of his family were invited besides his mum, dad and sisters he told all his aunty and uncles if they wanted to come they have to pay them selves. His mums a stingy cow (why im inviting her to mine i dont know) shes rich too and wouldnt pay.
CommentAuthorMrsNorton-Cuthbert2B
thats out of order really isnt it. if i had the money to do it then i would but i thought its a bit tight when you only have X amount to spend.

Brynie I think that's for the State Dining Experience there are cheaper options that we looked £87.50 Great Hall Wedding Breakfast & £67.50 Medieval Banquet. I've put a link on your wall, it would be amazing to have your reception there but one thing we noted is that you either have to get married at the local registry office or wait for the park to close to the public and have your ceremony about 5pm... xx

wow that is a lot! our venue is £36.50 a head for 3 course meal and tea/coffee afterwards. one venue we looked at was £80 a head but there was no venue charge, where as we are also paying £2k to hire our venue so it evens itself out really x

our wedding breakfast is £30.00 a head for a 3 course meal withtea/coffee too.. and then £16.50 per person for wine which includes soft drink or sparkling wine on arrival, wine with 3 course meal and champaigne for toasting.. then there was an additional cost of £500.00 to hire the marquee and ball room
in total it comes to about £4,500 including our evening buffet
