Okay.
We have about 106 guests. We wanted to keep it simple and informal as neither of us are lovers of Formal Celebrations. Initially we looked at village halls etc, but none were big enough or we couldn't have alcohol. So we thought again, our requirements are ...
Room hire from 4pm onwards
Food and drink x 106
Room for a band and for 106 people to sit down at once.
Cost, including room hire, DJ, food, 1 x drink, linen hire and chair covers (if needed) = £2550
A country pub could work if big enough. We also have yet to decide on a theme, we have come up with Vaudeville, Woodland, Tropical, Vegas and Arabian. This depends on the venue.
Because of the numbers we are being forced into Venues that are more formal and won't budge on packages, and obviously cost more.
Anyone got any ideas?
