In times like these where money is tight more and more couples are bringing their budgets down and taking off abroad to get married. Most British weddings can cost between £10,000 and £25,000 this is not including the big extravagant weddings some people go for.

When looking at receptions a lot of places charge around £100 per head to get an average meal and a buffet, so when you take into consideration the bride and groom, immediate family, bridesmaids, best man your looking at thousands just on food and drink. Then you have to think about family politics… you have to invite great Aunt Edna because she won’t be around much longer or your Mums best friend who has known you since you were little, and if anyone has a partner your doubling your costs straight away.

It is no wonder people are giving up and going for all inclusive holiday packages, you cut down the stragglers on your guest list as not everyone will want to pay for flights but the important people will come and you can have a great wedding including car, flowers, food and entertainment for about £5,000.
