why use our site to plan a manchester wedding?
Thank you for visiting our page at Angelfire. We are due to get married on Saturday 26th August 2006. We found that Manchester is one of the most expensive places to get married in England and have dedicated this site to finding the best value services for your big day without compromising on quality.
THE RIP OFF THAT IS WEDDINGS!
If like me you have been trying to set a budget for your wedding, you will know that the list of things which have to be accounted for in the budget is never ending. There's the transport, the cake, the dress, the reception, the marriage venue, the decorators for the venue, the caterers. The list just seems to keep on going! However, I have found, and this maybe doesn't just apply in Manchester, that when hiring services for a wedding, local firms charge sky high prices. It is now much cheaper to hire people from other parts of the country and to pay a little extra on travelling costs. As ridiculous as this may seem, it is true. I have extensively researched services in different parts of the country and this site is here to help others of you on a budget find the cheapest prices for wedding services without compromising on quality or the dream wedding you have always dreamt of. enjoy!!
When you contact any of the people on this page, please mention this website. I have recieved a sample invitation range from the lady below, I was astounded by the quality and will definately be getting my stationary from her! I have also bought craft items from her ebay store (the link for her store is also below) and she provides a very fast, friendly and reliable service! Her email address is dkldesigns@ntlworld.com
I bought my veil off the ladies link below and was absolutely delighted with it! She provides veils at a fraction of the cost that bridal shops sell them for. Her email address is sales@beautifuldaybrides.com
Hiring a videographer for your wedding can also be very expensive. You never seem to get exactly what you want in the package and always get overcharged for what you do get. However, the gentleman above provides the most dedicated service at a very small cost and he can create a package with everything you require included. His email address is steve@splitscreenproductions.co.uk
I have hunted high and low for a good price for my wedding flowers, every florist I contacted were charging extortionate prices for the bouquet I wanted. Then I stumbled upon the link below. When I contacted them, they replied to my enquiry within 2 hours and gave me a very reasonable quote which I have been unable to better. They deliver your flowers the night before your wedding by courier service which takes away the worry of waiting for the flowers on the day. They have also kindly offered to give everyone who mentions my site when ordering 10% off thier order.Excellent! Thier email address is ewiggett@yahoo.co.uk
With everything that can go wrong on your wedding day, it is a good idea to take out insurance. Insuring your wedding can be very expensive but not when you take out insurance with E & L. Thier wedding insurance ranges from £47 - £299. However, the £47 insurance will cover most peoples insurance needs. So why not look at covering your big day against ANY glitches?
I looked at getting a balloon decorator to decorate my wedding reception and was astounded at the extortionate prices they were charge. In the end, I decided to decorate it myself and found a wonderful ebay shop who sold everything I needed to make my own balloon decorations, including free instruction with each purchase. She doesn't only sell balloons, she selld everything you need for your wedding reception. She also sells items for hen night parties, you simply must look at her link below.
Favours are also a problem when planning a wedding. Whilst you won't want anything too expensive, you want want anything which looks cheap. Click on the two links above and you will see that they are ideal! Lovely pure oil fragrance & personalised wedding chocolate bars, a lovely gesture!
The church can look a bit plain for weddings and flowers can be very expansive. I have found the perfect solution! I have found some adorable pew bows which are very pretty and can be made in a variety of colours. They would liven up any church without it looking too overdressed. They are very accomodating and gave me a very reasonable quote so contact them and ask them to give you one too!
The wedding dress is the most important part of the wedding to many brides but it can also be one of the most expensive. Finding a nice wedding dress can sometimes mean trawling round millions of expensive shops and finding your dream dress is out of budget. The lady below has the most exquisite wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses for sale. They are much cheaper than dresses in the UK, even including the shipping from America! Her wedding dresses start from £127 including delivery & Bridesmaid dresses start from £88 including delivery! She also combines shipping so if you buy more than one item from her, you can save yourself even more money. Her email address is Humbride@aol.com
Wedding photography is another service which can be a major expense of a wedding. Again, you don't get what you want in packages & what you do get is over-priced. I have found a fantastic photographer who has given me the best quote even with his travelling costs added. You will find it very hard to beat his prices so contact him on the link below and see what he can do for your budget! His email address is web@magicalimage.co.uk
I was really struggling for ideas as to what to get my bridesmaids for gifts and found a fantastic store on ebay. This lady can personalise any of her items and makes many kinds of craft items which make the perfect wedding gift. Click on her link below and take a look at her skillfully made items.
The limousine company below also have very reasonable prices and are happy to help with any requests you may have, it is a good idea to phone them before you call any other transport companies. They even provide champagne service for the bride and groom upon request.
The website which helps with every aspect of planning a wedding is one of the most fatastic sites I have found. It helps with everything from the budget to the seating plan. You must look at this site, you cannot plan a wedding without it.
I have researched the services available for entertainment at wedding receptions and have found that unless you have a large number of children attening (in which case a clown is a much better idea!), a dj with a wide range of music for all ages is best so that there is something for everyone to have a dance too. Old people and hardcore music don't tend to mix very well! CnJ DJs are just that, contact them through the link for more information. Thier email address is info@cnj-djs.co.uk
Many brides want a sophisticated feel to thier wedding reception and in this case, I can strongly recommend serenade. They can provide a string quartet or trio, which ever you prefer. You can contact them through the link below. Thier email address is enquiries@serenadeweddingmusic.co.uk
If you want that little bit extra to stun your guests and give the perfect end to a perfect day, click on the fireworks link below for great value displays to amaze! They do choreographed displays or simpler display starting from £400. Thier email address is info@celebrationdisplays.co.uk
Shoes are a hard part of the wedding outfit to find. The site I have listed has shoes for everone: Bride, Bridesmaid, Mother of the Bride or Mother of the Groom. This lady offers great prices and a great service!
If you are struggling to find a unique bag for bride or bridesmaid, look no further than the site below. I'm sure you will find something which is ideal. I bought three bags off her recently for my bridesmaids, they arrived within 3 days and were the most gorgeous bags i've ever seen! Her email address is dolly-bags@excite.com
Cakes can also be expensive, especailly if you want a three or four tier. I have found the best baker possible as far as price and quality goes. Thier prices are excellent and thier cakes adorable. Give them an email at following address: phillipt1973@yahoo.co.uk
I can make cetain items of stationary such as table plans, save the date cards and table number cards for your wedding, all at a very reasonable price. I can also do buffet food for weddings, can help organise your wedding or can decorate your venue for you. If you are interested, drop me a line at my email address at the bottom of the page.
