jess.s Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hi, we are planning to get married in either May or August 2011. We are on a tight budget and are planning a civil ceremomy then hiring a hall for our reception after. Can anyone suggest a cheap (but nice) venue to have our ceremony? I know the registry office is the cheapest option, but I would prefer somewhere an bit nicer for photo's etc. For the party after we are looking for a reasonably priced DJ and caterers who would provide a buffet for approx 100 guests. Can anyone recommend any venues or companies? Thanks. (we live in Chapeltown but are not too fussed about the area we have our ceremony, as long as it's somewhere in or close to Sheffield).

spiritangel1 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I had my civil ceremony and reception at the Sherwood near intake Sue the landlady was absolutely fantastic,the function room is at the side and theres a lovely garden behind for outside pics,she even had a red carpet and put flowers all over the room,the food was lovely and she has a DJ ect i cant fault her service tbh,she gave us a taste of some " champagne " but didnt tell us price till we tasted,well we ended up with a cheaper one and everyone commented how lovely the champagne was lol,if you want to pm me your email i will see if i can send you some pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherishMedia Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 You could always have your ceremony at the registry office and then go on to somewhere like the Botanical Gardens which is lovely for photos, especially in the summer! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiritangel1 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hi Cherish the town hall is lovely but the only problem i had when i was looking for venues was it was kind of a bit like a conveyor belt they were actually queing to go in.Plus i wanted a sunday (awkward) so to hold the service and reception in one place was easier for me.No transport costs only the one to the Sherwood,the registrars that came to conduct the service were so lovely it felt really personal and meant a lot i had a lovely day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flutterbyes Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 whats your budget?? by holding my wedding on a wednesday rather than a sat/sun I managed to save thousands!! cutting your guest list would also help save money, we just had close family and friends at our wedding. Laura from little white book wedding really helped us with our wedding too!! http://www.littlewhitebookwedding.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enkay91 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Hi I can recommend a great make up artist for you if that helps. Shes cost efficient and very good. Her wedding make up prices are pretty cheap. She gets booked up quite fast though because of her fab prices. http://www.zara-beauty.co.uk or give her a ring on 07833571488 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess.s Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 Thanks for the replies. Our budget is maximum 1,500 for everything, preferably less if we can. Since looking into it, I have found out it might be possible for us to get married in church even though I have been marrried before. I think a church wedding should cost around 350 (without flowers, choir etc.), so we'll be needing to cut back even more on the evening do, so still needing a cheap DJ and caterers. Thanks for recommending the make up artist, I'll look into it. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jess.s Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Just wondering if anyone can give me a rough idea of how much a catering company would charge for an evening buffet for about 100 guests? I know it might be better to ring round a few companies, but I'm just trying to get a rough idea of costs to work out our budget. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
