Where abouts in the UK are you?

Wiltshire, Wedding will be in Beanacre, just outside Melksham

The one quote was from a guy based in bath (about a 20 minute drive)
the other quote was from a company that acts as an agent and gets someone in your area

Out of the 2 so far, Id rather go with the bath guy as at least I can see the stuff he has personally done before

but it just feels like a lot of money lol
but equally i think it would be a brilliant idea

I was considering going to the local college and seeing if there are any students going down that route that might be interested in doing it...but then they wont be used to doing it under pressure, and we probably wont get as many done in the time we pay for

Hmm...well if I was you i'd continue to get quotes. As I said, I have only had one quote and that was £250 for 3 hours...that's midlands though so may prices round here are cheaper?
