Hi all,

Just an update from us.

We have visited the first venue on our list which was going to offer the following.

Venue - £999 Package: 3 course meal for 50 people
Glass of wine with meal
Glass of Bubbly for toasting
Evening Disco
Linen and cultery included
Cake Stand

After visiting at the weekend we was not happy with the room size and i was very small so we are still loooking for a venue at the minute and have now found one that will offer the following for 50 people but its looking to cost alot more and its the cheapest venue so far we have looked at this weekend after visiting meny

Room Hire - £150
Toast Drinks - £163
2 Course - £775
Disco - £200
7 Item Buffet for x 75 - £525
Total - £1813

Its looking alot more now and was not sure what options to look at and seem to be going round in circles with it all.

Hi Princess Donna,

Are you from leicester? If so would be greatful if you could forward the photographers website to me please, were looking for sept 2012! have a quote from a friend for digital only, at our houses then the ceremony upto first dance for £350 which is still a bargain but every little helps! Were budgeting approx £5k, any tips on how to do this would be much appreciated? Struggling to find a band at a reasonable fee and thats what we both really want

Hi all, this is my first post so apologies if it doesnt come out correctly. I am most definately a bride on a budget so here are a few areas i'd like to share with you.
I got some beautiful silk flowers via ebay from 'the brides bouquet' (if you type 'budget wedding flowers' into ebay search it brings them up). I got brides, 3 brides maid, a wand and button holes for less than £100, absolutely lovely.

The Dress- from Helene Bridal based in china, cost around £160- is a maggie sottero copy- it was made to measure its absolutley stunning and i tried an almost idenitcal dress in bridal shop for £1500, so i feel a very lucky girl. So i think they are worth the gamble if your tight on funds, i feel a bit bad for the designers and bridal shops but if your tight on your budget somethings got to give.
I hope this helps you

Hiya,

Im trying to plan on a tight budget in leicester for 2012, where is your venue, thats a great price, better than i have been able to find lol!!

Thanks

The Holiday Inn (top of High St do a package for £1k...maybe you could try there?

Princess Donna.....As for a photographer, we looked at getting a photography student from Leicester College. We were quoted £100 last year.

You could always ask my mate who is starting out and trying to build a portfolio. He is doing one for free this year. My only suggestion for this though, (if this makes sense) would be not to totally rely on him to be a professional photographer. You could still have back up people with their own cameras if that makes sense to you?
