cheap plates sets uk image
ShaunaP
tryin to have a low cost wedding reception due to huge family :/
we are aware that often the cheapest hotel or room available for a wedding reception is not very nice looking and almost worth paying more for a nicer room - but then the meal is a rip off
however
we were wondering would it be cheaper to hire a nice big marquee and have family do the catering, we have land which we could use, iv no idea how much they are on average :/ (UK)
wot u guys think?
Answer
There is no hard and fast rule.
Who are you hiring the marquee from?
How big is it?
Do they set up or do you?
Do you need a floor?
Do you need to hire other equiptment (tables, chairs, bain marie, glasswear, plates etc?
Which hotel are you considering?
How big is the room?
Do they do the catering or can you choose your own?
Whats included?
Etc. So you can see how many variable there are that may effect the price.
I would suggest you go get some quotes. It can work out very similar or very different in price defending on what you want.
Personally I think the hotel is good only because they usually include the extras (tables, chairs, glasswear, cutlery, crockery) which can all add up.

Where can I find the famous Gerald Ratner speech of 1991?
Truman
The one where he says "People say, "How can you sell this for such a low price?", I say, "because it's total crap".
Answer
Gerald Ratner, the former retail tycoon responsible for one of the most famous gaffes in corporate history, is hoping to relaunch his career on the internet.
----------------------------------------
Although widely regarded as "tacky," the UK-based Ratners chain of jewelry stores shops was nevertheless extremely popular with the British public. That was until Chairman Gerald Ratner's now famous speech at the UK Institute of Directors in April 1991. During which, Gerry muttered this now-famous phrase:
âWe also do cut-glass sherry decanters complete with six glasses on a silver-plated tray that your butler can serve you drinks on, all for £4.95.
People say, "How can you sell this for such a low price?"
I say, because it's total crap."
-------------------------------------------------
In 1991 Gerald Ratner was booked to make what should have been an everyday
speech at the Institute of Directors. Should have been. When the words "total
crap" come out of his mouth in connection with a decanter and glasses set sold by
his company, H. Samuel, it all turned out slightly different. The Rise and Fall...And
Rise Again tells the full story, in Gerald Ratner's own words, of what lead him to
that point at the IoD, the horror of what happened in the immediate aftermath,
the fallout and the comeback. This is the fi rst time Gerald Ratner has given his side
of the story. And what a story it is. You'll fi nd out:
* How he wiped £500m off the value of his own company virtually overnight
* All the details about the initial gaffe and how he compounded it by remarking
that some of the earrings were "cheaper than an M&S prawn sandwich but
probably wouldn't last as long"
* How "doing a Ratner" has entered into the vocabulary of British business
* The wilderness years sitting glued to the sofa in front of Countdown
* How he has bounced back, rediscovering his entrepreneurial spark by building
up a health club business and, more recently, the immensely successful online
jewellery retailer Geraldonline.com
* The story's not over yet...
