hey im from jus outside belfast and am researchin for my weddin in 2011, it may seem overwhelming but if you are up for some long nights and alot of repetative tasks then i wouldnt bother with a planner, just think, you could use the money for something else far more special like an amazing pair of shoes hehe
good luck with your plans and if you need any advice for the local area please feel free to contact me

i wouldnt bother with a wedding planner either
im not having one...i dont like the idea of handing it all over to a stranger, its my day and i want to do it all ...but then im a bit of a control freak

oh and i dont know about other venues but all the ones we are looking at have a wedding planner, so if you book with them they make sure everything works out on time etc on the day

wow, this thread looks brill ( im not going to attempt to read it all tho! )

I was wondering how do the "moneysavers" get around the whole cake issue...im going to sound like a right tight wad, but I really dont want to spend £££'s on a cake...but at the same time, im not going to cut a jam doughnut instead LOL....Is it possible to make your own/ buy a decent shop bought one?

hmmm...See im not a fruit cake fan ( really really hate fruit cake, and marzipan is so wrong on so many levels! ) but I know some folk do like it....so what I am hoping for is to have one Fruit cake, One Chocolate and One Plain ( Birthday cake style ) do M and S / Asda do those?

I think Asdas are all sponge but I'm not sure.

Hi, im getting married in 21st november. registry office is booked for 12pm, were going to have an evening reception in the local village hall (all decorated out by my step mum who is a designer), but im at a loss as of what to do with the rest of the afternoon i cant really afford to start the reception in the afternoon, in that its going to be a stretch paying for one lot of buffet food, but i dont want to send ppl out into the ether for the afternoon. its november, so i cant rely on the weather (when can you?!) or have a sort of garden party.
ive sorted the dress, im doing an ebay job, i have a friend who can alter it for me to fit, so most things are sorted other than the afternoon

any ideas?

Is there any scope to move the ceremony to the last slot of the day? We are marrying at 3pm for the same reason x

I think M&S certainly do a combination of different types of cakes and they have a lovely shiny brochure too.....:D
