Getting wed in July (at the SoL as it happens). Just working out the cost of putting wine on the tables: 36 bottles will give each guest 2 glasses each (though many will not drink wine, kids for example) so more like 3 glasses each. I work at M&S and currently you save 25% when you buy 6 bottles, plus I get a further 20% off. 36 bottles will cost £118.80, but then we'd have to pay £15 corkage per bottle(which is still cheaper than going for their drinks packages) bumping the total cost of providing wine to £658.80, more or less £7.30 per guest. So I'm thinking it may be a good idea to put the money behind the bar and offer everyone 2 drinks of their choice (or even just one drink and save a few quid
)
So, would you prefer, as a guest, to have wine on the tables, or to have a drink or two of your choice from behind the bar?
is it booked ? should have hung on surely its cheaper at a championship ground
i agree that £15 quid corkage sounds silly,,, take ina bottle a table and pay the corkage and just smuggle the rest in wrapped as presents![]()
It'll end in tears.

Don't get married, your generation are so full of mercenaries that it's become the quickest way for a man to hit skid row. It hasn't happened to me but it has to both of my sons, it's the surest way into poverty (after the divorce). Stay single and kick them out for while every few months. I'm not normally a cynical person but I've seen the worst. One of my son will be free when he is sixty, get half, don't be silly, she buys new cars and lives in clover thanks to him, he walks. Take a tip.
When I got married they wanted 5 euros corkage and I said that was too much. Paid 2 euros in the end.
I thinkfiver a bottle is reasonable...
£15 is jsut silly.
I'd be arguing with them. I'm certain they have flexibility on pricing soemwhere.
Offer £8 a bottle on the proviso you'll supply more bottles... that way it'll cost you the same but at least your guests will get more booze
