Me and my fiancé are now planning our wedding and looking at venues. We're on quite a tight budget and the wedding is for close friends and family only.
The current venue we're looking at does separate meal, drinks and canapés packages. The drinks are about £20 per person and the canapés are an extra £7 per person.
I know for sure that my family and close friends don't mind going to a bar to pay for drinks themselves but my main worry is, would the venue themselves be alright with us not having those packages and just a meal/evening package? Or do venues usually make you have all of them?
(I obviously plan to ask the venue themselves but I'm just curious at what others think/have dealt with)

    You're not doing anything wrong. We are having canapés and welcome drinks but that it our choice and what I want for my day. I once went to a wedding held in a hall attached to a rugby club and the bride had made the food herself (sandwiches, sausage rolls etc) as her budget was so tight. They throughly enjoyed their day and the guests had a great time and most importantly still happily married.
