Initially when we contacted our venue their literature stated we could get external caterers in. This has now changed and we must use their in house chef. This isn't an issue and we're slightly...

We are having about 70 guests to our wedding and wondered if anyone knew if there is a certain amount of ushers you should have based on the number of guests? H2B wants bloody loads of them but i...

Hiya guys! I've looked through pages and pages of archives / done a lot of googling but not found the answers I'm looking for I'm afraid! We're looking to get married next year, but have just (3 weeks...
