think it depends where you are having it hun, ours is £80 per head, but this is only for food!! We are having it at a castle so is quite expensive!! have you looked at venues yet and got any prices? xxx
CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni
it varies so much depends on where. what you are having to eat etc
not looked around yet but im going too, i want quite a standard 3 course meal nothing overly fancy and overpriced as we are budgeted. but still to be nice and affordable :) x

We are paying £35 pp but that has been reduced from £65pp due to the credit crunch, we got in bang on time as they have now upped the prices again... phewwwww lol x x
Edited by me: That was the cheapest we could find in a venue that would hold the amount of guests we have for the day time
I can't believe we've actually done it

Our venue was is just across the road from our favourite take out place, they do pizzas and stuff like that so at one point we were only going to pay £2.50pp!
CommentAuthorMrs Sazra
Ours is £35 per head, but it could have been a lot more had we gone for fancier food.
CommentAuthormrs pinkalice

CommentAuthorG.I
Mines £100 per head (ouch!) but that is for half a bottle of wine and a glass of champagne for speeches
CommentAuthorBeckythemadcow
Mine is £13 per head, 3 courses (Carvery so choice of meat, but not as formal). Children £6.50 for the Carvery or chicken nuggets etc are cheaper.
We are buying our own booze and paying the corkage, getting much better quality at a cheaper price than theirs.
Corkage Wine= £8 and we are buying at £5 a bottle Corkage Champagne= £11 and we are buying at £10 a bottle (reduced to £10 from £28 in tescos!!)
This is in a hotel in Warwick. I feel quite please with myself after reading these prices ^^

CommentAuthoronewilson@btinternet
we're paying £28.95 for 2 courses, £9.95 for children! Drinks extra but they are charging us by the bottle rather than by the glass, which isnt too bad x
CommentAuthorNeen
Ours is £38 per head (plus VAT) and then the drinks package is around £20 oer head I think.
How are people choosing what menu to have? It's so hard to pick something everyone will like :(
CommentAuthormrsjones
we are paying £20 per head for 3 course meal with carvery for mains for 64 people, and £7 per head for buffet in the evening for up to 150 people. Our reception is being held in the function room of a local big country pub so they are really reasonable. xx

CommentAuthorxxsophieMxx
ours is costing around £20pp for a 3 course meal,it should have been from £35p but we know the people who own the mansion where we're having thr reception so they're giving us a good discount. we will be putting wine on the tables, providing a welcome drink and champagne for the toast which we are buying ourselves and im pretty sure there is no corkage either! not bad... yey! x
CommentAuthorKizzy81
I had to work really hard, but we're getting silver service 3 course meal, canapes and drinks service, plus a fully serviced bar for £32 a head. I'm then hiring a local tea room to do the evening buffet at about £5.25 per head.

CommentAuthorPinkberry
I am paying £18 per head for a BBQ with gorgeous breads and salads. The drinks package is £11 per head which is half bottle of wine per person and a glass of english sparkling wine for the toast. I have been told this is the more fashionable thing rather than french champagne and it is certainly cheaper!
CommentAuthorginge23
Ours is £32.00 pp £13.50 pp for 3 drinks and then £10.00 per kid and £4.50 for 3 drinks for the kids. xx
CommentAuthorKesha
ours averages out at £31 per head for days guests only. However we have paid £5000 for our reception and this price includes our even buffet aswell, so cost per head is probably cheaper.
CommentAuthorshellay
we are paying £14.95 per head but its only an evening buffet, we will be paying for drinks on top of that, but we havent been quoted the price for that yet x
