I'm pricing up venues at the moment and have a bit of a dilemma.
At our favourite venue, it's basically the same price to have either:
a) 130 guests for whole day - three course wedding breakfast at 6pm, no evening food, all guests would get reception drinks, wine with their meal and a toast drink
b) 100 day guests, who get wedding breakfast and the drinks as before, and an additional 30 in the evening, all 130 have hog roast later on
I think it might be nicer to have everyone there for the whole day, and those who would have been evening guests instead get to see the ceremony etc and get some drinks as well as a full three-course meal rather than hog roast.
Thoughts ladies? Which do you think would work better?
