Help needed - transport & Entertainment please!

Hi everyone,

Could anyone please help us. We are getting married in Warrington, Cheshire next summer and need help with entertainment and transport. Would be grateful if anyone could make any recommendations (good and bad!) So you know what we're looking for here are a few comments:

Transport - would like more modern cars rather than traditional wedding cars. Looked at mercs etc. Ideally a bentley but they look expensive. Anyone got any recommendations at reasonable price~?

Entertainment - we don't really have any ideas where to start with this one. We don't want to be spending a fortune and don;t have any particular themes/ideas. This one is quite hard for us because of course it is better to go off recommendations for this sort of thing. Anyone have any particular details they could recommend?

Thank you in advance :-)

    Hi

    I have details of a cover band based in Wrexham - I saw them at Events UK at the NEC and thought they were fab. I have no idea of their charges but they are great and have a wide selection of music. I would recommend them.

    You can also listen them playing some of their covers on their website. They cover a wide genre of music.

    ok sorry, now i know, live n learn hey!!
  • We wanted a bentley but didn't want the price tag so had a chrysler 300 which looks very similar.

    I put executive car hire into google and went from there - was still £180 but was £200 less than the quote I got from a wedding car hire firm and he didn't bat an eyelid when I managed to up end a full glass of champagne in it with my hoop :o:o
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p
