    I agree. I'm a wedding photographer too. :)
    We did the whole budget wedding on a £2500 budget in a registry office and then reception in a village hall with mobile caterers, etc and the whole thing was a nightmare to plan and we wished we had had it in one venue with them organising it. As it was I was in the kitchen cutting up strawberries on our wedding day during the reception, for the chocolate fountains which didn't run. As we're now in the business we have yet to photograph anyone's wedding that comes even close to how dire ours was. (Our guests didn't complain, it was just pants for us!)

    Would much rather have got a deal like this! Or more probably gone abroad and had a wedding/honeymoon combo thingy.

    As a wedding photographer I have a pretty good grasp of the wedding supplier chain and just over 2 grand for a castle venue down south is absolute steal. even for somewhere up north it would be a lot more than that (excluding all of the exclusions as well). There are places round here that charge over £10,000 for the same.

    We were no further north than London. My point is that it pays to shop around for exactly what you want and in our case we had guests coming from manchester, rochester and exeter so most were going to have to travel and find accommodation wherever we chose.
