Restaurant Reception - Menu Cost
We are thinking of holding our reception in a restaurant or pub as we don’t want a hotel type reception - and they are mega expensive. Is it likely that we would pay less (or more even) than their menu price - given that all guests would have the same (bar vegetarians) for each course? And their function room / resutarant…

Arrangements for your own children at evening do when you got married
Slightly odd question this but what arrangements have people made for your own children for the evening do part of your wedding? There is no accommodation at our venue so a Babysitter would be the obvious choice but the only people we use to sit for us (usually OH mum and dad or brother) will be at the wedding and I really…

White Suit Help Please!
We're getting married on the beach, so I wrongly assumed my fianc! was going for the casual look. It turns out he's just decided he actually wants to wear a white suit. The only problem is, it's winter and nowhere has white suits, lol. Can anyone help me out? I want to buy, not hire, as we're getting married abroad on the…

Distance between venues.
What do you think is a reasonable distance between the different parts of the wedding, assuming it isn't all being done on one site. So between reg. office and reception, for example. Do you need to arrange transport for everyone? How far is too far? And...is it within reason to have 3 venues: reg office, restaurant for…

Hi Guys - As you may or may not know from other threads on this board I get married in June 2015. I have most things secured with deposits (venue, cake etc) but am a bit stuck on photographers. The choice out there seems SO overwhelming so I was hoping some of you would be able to recommend a couple of photographers that…

Honeymoons - wheres yours to be?
Where's everyone going for their honeymoon? OH doesn't like flying, so it's either a UK honeymoon, or somewhere within a reasonable driving distance in France. Anywhere else in Europe (if we used Eurostar) seems forever and day in the car otherwise and don't really fancy it being over 4 hours so it limits our options, so…

Suit dilemma
I'm probably making mountains out of molehills here, but I wondered what others would do in my situation. I'm not getting married for 18 months, and am kind of worried I'm doing some things too soon. Since we set a date, I've been researching things, and found that we could actually buy a waistcoat, handkerchief, cravat…

Photographer Meals?
Quick question for anyone who can answer. I'm getting married in 10 weeks and have seen some mention of having to supply the photographer with a meal. Is this largely expected and an unspoken requirement or is it something the photographer would implicitly state? I'm a little confused about this point and don't want to…

Deposit back from wedding venue?
I recently paid a £500 deposit via credit card for my daughter's wedding next year; unfortunately, her fiance left her and the wedding has now been called off. We rang the venue asking for £400 back and were happy to pay the other £100 as an 'admin fee', the venue however refused to give ANY of the deposit back. The…

Can/would you ask caterers to create new menu?
I've found a private chef who has lots of amazing reviews and the pictures of his food look very impressive... but the menu choices listed on his website, of which there are quite a lot, aren't really to our (err *my*, I'm a bit fussy) taste. Is it ok to ask for different dishes? How can I phrase it without it sounding…

Cheap venue in North/Central London?
Hi, I'm having a wedding party in July and i need to find a venue. In a perfect world, we'd prefer a live music venue but these will be hard to find on a Saturday night!

MOB Hair
Don't suit hats or fascinators and am looking for ideas for hair decorations. Have short white hair but any nice hair ornaments that I have seen seem to be crystal or silver and are lost in my hair. Looking for any ideas, dress is maxi, classic 40's style and in plum. Plan to have silver shoes and bag. Thanks for any ideas.

Cornwall caterer & photographer recommendations
I'm getting married in Mevagissey, Cornwall this September and other than the venue (swish party house where we'll be staying with our families all week) and the registrar, I haven't booked anything else yet. I'm imagining it as a big family holiday that just happens to have a wedding in the middle, so it'll be a fairly…

We're looking for our photographer at the moment and trying to work out how long we want them to stay for.
