  • Ours is £3500 to hire the whole venue (barn, 6 bedrooms, kitchens, lounge areas & grounds) for 3 days. We have then had to organise caterers and everything else on top of that.

    Or venue hire is £550 then the food and drink comes to around £4k for 100 people.
  • Our venue alone is £4000 and then another £5000 for food.

    Weddings can be as cheap or expensive as you make them from what I've discovered.
  • Ours was £1500 to hire for the day. £36 per head for a three course wedding breakfast, £11 per head for a full drinks package and £20 per head for a hog roast in the evening

    just to chuck in my 2p..
    our venue alone is £1500 for 4 hours on a saturday night in july. No food, no drink (and will be having to use their approved caterers :( )
    That said, it is a gorgeous Paddle steamer sailing up the Thames :D

    Ok, I am thinking I need to give the other end of the spectrum in case OP is panicking seeing all these (relatively) lowish numbers. My venue is £197 a head....

    Nice to read, actually - don't think I've ever seen someone spending more than I did on here :)

    I think ours worked out around £150/head for land, marquees, staff, furniture, food and drink...
