How much is it hun x
- CommentAuthorMrsH-2B
How much Hun ? Sounds like an absolutely amazing package ! Unless the extras cost more, ie they're making the assumption with 80place cards that 40invites are two people each, when in most cases thats not right.. Xxx

You didn't say how much...
- CommentAuthorMrsMoran
Sounds great hun, but how much is it? xxx

- CommentAuthorCatrinG2B
Do you get the choice of invites or their choice?
- CommentAuthor*KelBel*
How much is it? Sounds a good package but its worth finding out how much it is per person if u need to invite more than the amount specified in the package...sometimes there are hidden extras,like it could be £60per head for any extras and obv 10 extras comes in at another £600!

sorri ladies i missed that bit lol its £1499 x
- CommentAuthorEmmaS
also you have a choice of about 4/5 designs for invites and i wouldnt need extra as only want smallish wedding and medium evening reception xx
- CommentAuthorLauraJo87
It does sound quite good to me, but you'd need to look at the specific items that you want - for example, if you don't like the invites and have specific ideas about what you want for the bouquet, it's maybe not so good...but if you like all there stuff, it sounds a good deal!

My only concern was that if they were popular in your area, a lot of your guests may have been to a wedding which looks very similar, if you know what I mean xx

I personally don't no if its cheap or not as weve done everything separate but invites cost about a tenner in total, cake £200, dj £220 and the venue is doing the table pieces of vases mirrors crystals and candles in with the cost

You should write down everything you require and if theres enough in the package then work it out from there!

- CommentAuthorx~Hails~x
Wow that's alot for that price and you get more then most packages around!
Personally I would be skeptical so I would do ALOT of research to see who has had this package before how they found the service and what the actually quality of the products were!
Yes its a good deal but is cost worth the risk of a Cra p service/quality!

Perhaps ask to see a wedding set up and get samples of everything. Also ask the supplier for customer feedback.....at least 5 different couples so you can get a true opinion off their service before you commit to ANYTHING!

it sounds like a good package to me and for ease of you having to source it all, i would ask if you can have a look at a room set up when they have a wedding on using that package so you can see the quality

- CommentAuthorLauraM9144
looks good on paper assuming you like their taste in everything, however what happens with food? are you going to end up with an inflated food /drink budget? this could make all the difference as all tose thing arent totally neccesary and you may not even want them all so you may be paying for things you wouldnt choose if they werent in the package and then on top of that thye could ramp up the price per head etc i agree with the others ask questions research alot nd find out other costs i.e food/drink accomodation and make sure they are not recovering the costs there. then once you have a total figure HAGGLE they have a bottom line and you can bet you arent getting it til you ask! i got mine down from £3000 to £1200 because there was a lot of things i didnt want! and lots and can do way cheaper myself plus more fun and i can make sure its totally personal. Also look at other venues as they may not advertise package prices but you may be suprised what other venues will come up with to compete and have fun!

One BIG day will lead to lots of little happy days !!
- CommentAuthorMrsMoran
That's an incredible price!! My reception venue alone is over that for venue hire, food, drinks and chair covers. I agree with the others and make sure you do your research first, make sure you find out the quality of these things, maybe go to a wedding set up they may have going on so you can see it properly laid out xxx
