After getting quite depressed with the hotels wanting between 60 and 100% of final evening guests (150 of 'em!)to be fed and thinking that the reception was going to cost our entire wedding and honeymoon budget I have found a lovely place that has said the total spend just has to be more than £2k.
The room is £300 and a small wedding breakfast and buffet approx £900 that means that our evening guests have to spend £800 on drink or we have to pay the difference.
If you factor in that a group of 6 of us went out for 4 hours and spent £168 on alcohol, £800 between 150 should be easy!
Costs to us £1200 which is only £200 over my original budget.
I'd been losing sleep over this and now feel very happy.
