Useful links

You could do worse than to browse through a wedding website for ideas, but don't start building these in until you have looked at all the essentials.  Then if you have room in the budget you can add embellishments.

One to check out would be www.hitched.co.uk         We feature in its venue section and it offers pretty full information. 

But first look into catering costs.....you can get ballpark figures from www.seasonsdeli.co.uk or www.gemmahaining.com

For an idea of flower costs try Shirley Ingham on 01473 495882 or countryroses@easynet.co.uk if you want fresh roses or rose petals.

Entertainment costs vary hugely...from hiring the kit for an ipod, to full band or disco, or even a juke box so this is best left til the essentials are sorted, then you know how much money you have.

Your cash bar in the evening comes from a nearby pub and charges a £75 set up fee, but then sells at local pub prices - and you don't have to worry about glasses, washing, rubbish, bottles or anything at all.  But we don't allow other bar suppliers as a safeguard to our licence. (Though, like with all our suppliers, we don't take commissions or payments of any kind from any of them).

This is really all you need for basic budgeting.......but get in touch if you need more details!
