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 :eek: (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 :oops::lol:)

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?
