reception drinks, wine with meal and toast drink for 50

evening reception room

disco

evening buffet for 50

wedding coordinator on the day

cake stand and a few other bits like that

7 rooms for guests

bridal suite for us

ummm think thats it but was a pretty good value for money deal compared to some places we looked at

About 11.5k for 140 to the day and an extra 50 the evening. Includes civil ceremony licence, exclusive use, 3 course meal, reception drinks, dinner wine, toast drinks and evening buffet.

Just under £4k for venue hire, hog roast buffet for 70, welcome drinks and champagne toast for 70, ceilidh band, and additional gazebo. Will probably come to more once we factor in linen etc

Our venue is approx 5.5k for this we get

Exclusive use of House and (80 on site bedrooms at additional cost to guests wishing to stay.)

unlimited use of premises, grounds and leisure facilities from 4pm Fri - 11am Sunday

ceremony room

drinks reception and canapes

3 course meal with 1/2 bottle wine per person and Black Lanson champagne to toast

wedding co-ordinator

cake stand

We're paying £65 a head for canapes, arrival drink, 3 course meal, half bottle of wine per person, drink for speeches, candelabras, cake stand, place namecards and an evening buffet. Children under 12 dine free. We'd have to pay an extra 2 grand for exclusive use of the hotel but we thought it wasn't worth it.

No venue hire on top of that but we're getting married in a church so don't know if they normally charge for the ceremony room hire.

We get the honeymoon suite in the hotel and a bottle of bubble thrown in with it, some places don't which I think is pretty bad.

I just wanted to get an idea of what the cost was.

I am paying £82 a head.

Thanks ladies xx

It just shows how prices vary across different areas of the county, our entire budget is £6000, but I love that your venue do the flowers and table plans, table plan is already causing me a headache

We are looking at a village hall that costs £600, we get it from Friday morning so we can get in to decorate and set things up. That just includes the hall, tables and chairs, and use of the kitchen, we have to get everything else ourselves.

I feel like I'll be paying way above average for my venue, but I love it, and even though we haven't booked it yet, the total should be coming to roughly £12k for:

Exclusive use of the venue and gardens

Ceremony and wedding breakfast for 70 people

2 glasses champagne or pimms at drinks reception

3 course wedding breakfast

1/2 bottle wine per person

1 glass champagne for toasts

Dedicated event manager and staff for the day

Complimentary room for the bride and groom, with 20 other onsite rooms for guests at an extra cost.

I wish it wasn't so much, but I desperately wanted a medieval building with on-site accommodation for my overseas guests, so it ended up having to be a gorgeous castle I'll be doing everything else on the cheap, though, so I'm hoping to keep the budget reasonable.

Ours is £8700 for 80 guests in a gorgeous 500 year old barn.

For that we get

The Venue (including all staff)
Wedding Co-ordinators for the day
Canapés
Reception drinks (2 per guest)
Wedding Breakfast (3 course meal)
Wine with the meal (2 glasses per guest)
Sparkling Wine for the toast (1 glass per guest)
Evening Buffet
Resident DJ

£1270 for dry hire, £2455 for all catering, £355 for all venue decoration...so £4080 altogether

ETA: for 50 day guests and 100 evening

Venart... I wouldnt worry if you love it then go for it.

Mine is similar price - looking at £12.5k but I love the venue, also if I go into the city its similar prices, so I dont think its that bad.

Hey

We are paying £650 for the use of the room to get married in, and the use of the room to have the wedding breakfast and evening reception. We automatically have exclusive use of the venue.

We want to use outside caterers, so we have to pay £250 for kitchen hire.

If we want to take our own wine in, we have to pay £6 corkage per bottle, or we can have their wine, which starts at £10 per bottle.

We are paying about 13k and for this we get:

-exclusive hire of Elizabethan manor house, gardens, and converted stables (drinks reception in main house and gardens, meal and party in the stables)

-canapes and 2 drinks during drinks reception for 95 people

-4 course meal, 1/2 bottle wine and coffee etc for 95 people

-champagne to toast for 95 day guests

-front of house/event manager on the day

-all staff

-cake stand/knife etc (this bit made me laugh - I should bloody think so for 13 grand!!)

-cheese, bread, chutney and biscuits for all 95 day guests plus another 40 evening guests (instead of a buffet)

And that's it I think...it doesn't sound like much I guess for the money, but the venue is beautiful and the food is prepared by an amazing caterer who own one of the boy's most favouritest restaurants in. the. world. So I do feel like I am getting value for money, if not quantity! Also, we are having a total of 135 guests, which is a fair whack I guess in terms of volume of food/drink. We could have got it a lot cheaper (as you would expect) if we had cut our guest list to 50, but this wasn't an option for us.
