I'm having a crisis and I have no idea what to do now! My dream wedding had a guest count of around 90 (we have huge families, this number includes minimal friends) at a Manor, which was looking like it was going to cost around £20K. Whilst we both have good jobs, the idea of spending this amount seems absurd! We are both young, we've just bought our first house and want to work on the house & be able to do some travelling before we have children. After much heartache, I've decided maybe the only options are to have a small wedding or even elope. I figure later on in life we could always throw a larger one for a vow renewal, perhaps?
Anyway, I'm thinking around £10K (even better if under though - obviously!) for a wedding. I'm now trying to find some places which are more within this budget and I'm looking for suggestions. We'll be having a civil ceremony so a place where everything could be done would be ideal and any venues with packages would be helpful to ease any stress!
I'm open to any location at this point. I'm based in Derbyshire and work in Cheshire. I have family in Yorkshire and Lancashire. We also love the Lake District. So I really do mean it when I say I'm open!
Any help would really be appreciated before I have a meltdown.
