    Oh bubbles you don't know how pleased I was to see them! I've actually got loads of the zoo...I always take the camera when I go (though guess who forgot the newly charged battery last week - doh!!) and our wedding photographer has done a couple of weddings there so I've seen his pics on his website. But I've been wanting to see the room set out for a wedding with candelabras on the table. I'm not a huge candelabra fan and wanted to see how it looked but the zoo didnt actually have any pics of a room set out using them...but those pics you posted did so that's been brilliant :)
    And I know the pics will be fine for us...it's amazing how a bit of photoshop magic can make the skies seem so much nicer. All I'm hoping is that the rain keeps away!

    hi im not from chester, im from ellesmere port, but close enough lol...just wanted to query whats the latest time you can get married in a church. To cut costs, we are planning to get married late as poss, go to venue after photos, drinks and mingling,then at 8pm a buffett, but im worried it may be too long to keep people waiting for food until the evening guests come from 7pm onwards

    The laws of England and Wales say that you can get married between the hours of 8.00am to 6.00pm every day. However the latest I have work on as a photographer was 4.30 so I ask the church. I've worked in many churches in your area but most have been 2.30pm weddings as an average.
  • Have found an identical package to what Holiday Inn were offering, but at Days Inn Chester North (used to be gateway to wales hotel) for £1000, but no DJ, but even with our extra guests we wanted and DJ, we are looking at about £800 cheaper than holiday inn, so hopefully it will be nice, going to arrange a visit soon. :)

    ah cool
    i just found the suppliers there really pushy- didnt leave you alone- and i remember one cup cake woman there who was charging £4 per cupcake- she had no one round her stall surprisingly! i also hate the paying to get in wedding fayres thing too- puts me in a mood straight away lol

    hope you had a good time though
    yeh bit late for me- i think i would look funny around wedding fayres now- espically with my wedding ring on lol

    awww sammy...drag a mate round and make out she's looking! When I was shopping for things with my 16yr old DSD who's going to be my BM it was quite funny when people assumed I was her mum and she was the bride to be!
