My partner and I have 2 children and are approaching 10 years together. We haven't married yet because we just haven't got around to it. We feel married already but think it would be wise to make things legal. We'd like to get married next year with about 150-200 guests, and we want to do something fairly lovely in a beautiful venue with a sit down meal.
Can I ask where you got married, how many guests, and how much did you spend?
I have looked at a couple of lovely venues but they cost out at £30,000 plus with the catering! We just don't want to spend such a huge chunk of money.
£20,000 would probably be our limit and I still think that's a small fortune.
We can't escape the sit down meal - older family would expect it. I also would like a really lovely venue and a good photographer.
We're happy to skimp on cake, cars, honeymoon, simple decorations, getting married off season and maybe mid week. Also starting later in the day so it's not an all day celebration.
I would really appreciate hearing your wedding experiences and any tips for not spending an absolute fortune! Thank you.
