Wedding venues + catering
Every nice place I find doesn't seem to do what I want for food. I don't want a sit down 3 course meal, I'd rather have a more informal BBQ or something so people have a good choice of food they can help themselves to it, but they have said they either don't do that sort of food, or won't let us organise our own caterers…

Choosing a Venue - Stressed/Disappointed!
Hello All, So, my OH and I have viewed two venues so far. Venue 1: Function room within a pub, set in the countryside a little although not too far from the city centre.

Plus it gives me a long time to be waiting around... Argh...…

How detailed was your budget?
A thread for the newly weds for once. I've been assessing how much we actually spent on our wedding vs the budget and working out where the differences were. I've come to the conclusion that the budget just wasn't detailed enough...And I just wondered if anyone else felt the same? Personally, I think we had around 25 items…
