I know "how long is a piece of string".....
Every wedding I have attended over the last 5 years has been terrible, generally the food has been poor quality, venue - average and what really surprises me is the cost involved, to really just achieve average, its not fair, not right. I guess my point is, it seems regardless of the budget the weddings I have attended have really failed miserably in providing quality.
My niece is getting married in March, paying $120 per head, at a winery in WA in the Swan Valley, known for its good wines and good food. They are inviting over 100 guests. I am not optimistic that it will be wonderful, purely from my experience, more money does not mean better.
Had this discussion with my daughter and its just so difficult. Prefer intimate, only very close friends and family, in our case this would still be around 80 people.
It has been suggested that we should look at an overseas wedding, but logistically and for a couple of other reasons, this probably wont work.
I know someone who got married in Spain and did not account for the very hot weather and everyone nearly fried, also lack of control could be an issue.
Any suggestions/experience. I know what will make a great wedding, but not sure how to find it.
