We found somewhere that did a package for £2000 - that was ceremony, wedding 'breakfast'(for 40) and disco & buffet afterwards (for 100). It included wedding favours & a glass of champagne per person for the toast AND a 3 tier wedding cak as well.

It is so diffucult and as soon as you mention the word wedding everyones prices go up 50%, i find it hard to beleive anyone has the sort of money these people ask
