Sospan jnr is trying to find a venue to get married later this year. Some of the quotes are exorbitant. The basic venue cost is very high in some cases and then they add on extras that I would consider included. For example,
Room hire £3000, £250 per table in there, extra for everything else. Food extra, drinks, entertainment,
There is a backlog of cancelled weddings due to Covid but it looks like some are increasing costs to catch back on revenue. Perhaps also it is a case of over subscription and competition for dates/locations.
This is in Cardiff and a range of venues being tried and not prestige venues and not a big wedding, they don’t want every man and his dog to be there.
Don't get me started........
Daughters wedding is currently planned for 31st July
£5000 for hire of venue - which does not include food / drink / entertainment
£1500 to "dress the room"
Outdoor woodfired pizza ovens available for evening party food - minimum 75 heads -@ £10 per pizza............. £10 for a bloody pizza!!!
This place -
Browsholme Hall and The TithebarnCamping "pods" available for guests to stay overnight - my missus said "oh - we'll have this one" ......... another £140 quid........
I hate to think how much has been spent on her wedding dress / shoes.......
Photographers booked ,,,,,, I haven't asked how much.........
When I suugested the local footbal club as a venue...... It didn't go down well.......
I almost hope that covid restrictions stll only allow 15 or so guests at weddings ................ It'll save me a bloody fortune (joke (with an element of truth))
