0% credit card for final wedding costs

Hello, 

We're getting married in June this year and although we thought we were being savvy with saving etc, we now think we might have to get a 0% APR credit card to pay for the remaining costs - potentially just under £5k.

My question is - these remaining costs are mainly with suppliers (band, drinks, cake etc.) and we paid the supplier deposit using a simple acc no/sort code bank transfer, so essentially in cash. I can't find any info to help with understanding how we could pay the remaining balance using a credit card? Can you transfer from a credit card to your own bank account for example? Do we need a different card for something like this? 

Any advice would be most welcome! Thank you

    You'd need a "money transfer" card for putting cash into your own account first which tend to be a bit harder to get and shorter offers than the best Balance Transfer cards. 

    Have you asked the suppliers if they accept cards? If they do you can pay those ones directly, and therefore also get the benefit of S75 potentially.
