    Thanks Lexxi, we have looked at that but no-one seems to be clear about our own catering/marquee (seems to be the only way to self cater) :(
    Most places seem to work out around £50/£60 per guest for food/drinks locally, that to me seems excessive. Plus room hire of around £500-£750.

    It's just that you have to visit every month for 6 months, I've only lived in one area for 6 months over the last 2 years. Plus I don't know where I'll be in 6 months or whether I'll be anywhere for 6 months.

    Grr! Went to the hotel today to pay the final balance and they've only got flipping roadworks outside!
    It's in the middle of the city so not a 'pretty' venue but there were a lot of good clean shapes I was looking forward to having in the wedding pics and now it all looks pants!

    Grumble...

    I have no idea how much a wedding planner would cost so I don't know! If it would help and was reasonable, I'd work it in!

    Ohno! Is there ary way that the roadworks will be gone in time? Are they right outside, I'm sure the hotel should have known about it. We had a letter in one pub about a road being shut for just the day which was a tiny sidestreet. Have you had a look on the council website to see if there is any more information?

    Raspa, are there any signs near the roadworks that say when it will be finished? Usually big jobs have a sign but if there isn't one then the chances are they'll be done soon. I've got my fingers crossed for you!!
    Yaaay, I finally conned a man into making a honest woman of me. Even more shocking is that I can put the words "Happily" and "Married" into the same sentence and not have life insurance on my mind when I say it ;-)
