Wayno 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I don't think theres a responce i can use without getting Banned or Arrested or Both! Perhaps we should go down the pub and write a book on why to get married in a registry office!

Andy Westcott 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Quote: "Use a CD player instead of a DJ for your music" Or hire Hot Fusion! May not be as good, but nearly as cheap! Obviously the guy who wrote that had little experience of a wedding disco. How do these people ever get this rubbish into print?? Link to post Share on other sites
FrankieJ 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 The Reverend Andrew Body, vicar of Chobham and Valley End, said it aimed to "blow the whistle on commercialism". Makes you laugh really I got married last September and the church charged us £450, they also charged us an extra £50 for our videographer to film in the church. :wall: DJ Frankie Knuckles.

Yep.. I agree that people spend ridiculous amounts on weddings.. and it could probably be better spent. By IMO, the DJ should not be something they cut out.. there are plenty of other less important things they could do without.. althought they probably say the opposite on florists, videographers, car drivers etc. forums...

Gary 0 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) I have to say - he has a point. Although I've never quite understood how various "reports" get their figures from for "your average wedding costs £20,000" (or whatever they quote now), a wedding with "all the trimmings" is a hefty expence. An expense not aided by some suppliers surcharging a wedding with nothing to back up that price-hike except for the thought of "Well, a wedding costs thousands, so they wont notice me lobbing 50% extra on my figure, will they.". It seems that to some suppliers, "WEDDING" has multiplier associated to it, just like VAT has 17.5% associated to it - this very wrong if identical (or very simimilar) offerings are made. Indeed, when my sister got married last year, she found that two of the suppliers (Catering and flowers) had a "normal price" and an inflated "wedding price" for the same offering. EG: Tell the flower people that you want some table decorations for a one-off August Saturday occasion at a restuarant eg: A leaving party and you get a lower price quoted than if the word "wedding" is mentioned. The specification of how many flower types, decoration size, trimmings etc, were all the same. Having said all that - Churches too, can be very greedy when it comes to weddings. Some things, yes, I could understand there being a charge for eg: A Choir - after all, the choir have got to be there (CD-R's not being taken into account) but... £50 extra if theres going to be a videographer in the church? £50 additional if a professional photographer was going to take pictures with the church etc... The term "practice what he preaches" seems so, so appropriate at this point. Edited February 15, 2007 by Gary Link to post Share on other sites
jamminroadshow 0 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 You can always save money on Weddings as elvis does them and he is cheaper than a vicar. My nan and Granddad where married 50 years so a 20k Wedding costs 400 a year or 33 a month just over a pound a day thats not too bad i spend more than that on my cat and i am not a cat fan. Its the same as i have said before you can buy a nice car for more money or something cheap yes they both get you from a to b but there is always the drive in the car that makes it. With weddings there is the memories that it was the best it could be or that it was nice and cheap <a href="http://www.djassociates.org"><img src="http://www.djassociates.org/anims/compres_banner.gif" alt="Join the DJ Associates Disc Jockey Association" border="0" width="468" height="60"></a> Link to post Share on other sites

McCardle 1 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Maybe the church should take its own advice and cut its charges it is a community service after all. Fewer people actively go to church on a regular basis in any case and only step inside one to get hatched matched or despatched. online weddings is the way forward, pay some trendy vicar a few quid by paypal to conduct a service over the internet, dance to music from your ipod whilst dipping sainsburys iced fingers into your argos chocolate fountain. bliss and all for less than £500 "The voice of the devil is heard in our land" 'War doesn't determine who is right, war determines who is left, and you wont win this war.'
