Got married in August…
Venue Hire = £600 (Council Arts venue)
Decoration = £50 (Ribbon mostly)
Flowers = £400
Her Dress = £1200 (Lengha)
MyOutfit = £65 (Kilt Hire)
Chair covers = Nope, waste of money
Cake = £120
Ceilidh Band = £670 (One of very best!, Thanks Jake)
DJ = £300 (Bloody good, not your wee guy with a disco, they even did a remix of Nick cave for me!)
Catering = £1000 (Indian 3 course buffet with Coffee etc.)
First drink= £200
Photographer = Nope, eneough people took shots & they were great, much more natural & relaxed. Quoted £800 for basic package of tacky shots.
Bar = Hire Bar (This was bit that I regret, stuff was watered down I reckon but family sorted it by getting a few boot fulls of booze from the ASDA nearby).
At the end of the day, if the entertainment is good & there's good food & drink then nobody will be caring about anything else.
The worst weddings are the ones where you stand in a beautiful venue getting waited on hand & foot utterly bored out of your mind.
We had a great day.
