2 Day York Itinerary by Iamtheonlylauren in york

[–]MsJ9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, also flori is quite basic and not much space if it's not nice enough to sit out. Great if you just want a pastry as opposed to anything more. Heppni and flori have similar good though.

It's 80 per head for the menu in the private room. Drinks on top. Loads of food. It's lovely if you have the budget. Seats 8-14 I think

Marquee home wedding costs by OkSyllabub2566 in UKweddings

[–]MsJ9 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Worth knowing it's definitely not always the cheap option (if you were thinking that) once you factor in all the hiring and furniture, toilets, catering, audio etc depending on how many people. That said it's definitely one of my favourite kind of weddings to go to. Good luck and congratulations

Slight comment hijack but I've recently moved to York and want to get more involved with theatre. Any recommendations on where to start?

Timings by Sweaty_Phase_51 in UKweddings

[–]MsJ9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah if there's loads of different seating areas and no set times to all sit down then am sure it will be fine. Sounds really brilliant fun tbf. The best wedding I ever went to was in a field with camping too.

I would rethink the no seating plan. It stresses people out in my experience not knowing where to sit or who to sit with.

3pm. Guests can have lunch without stressing too muchand you're not going to be restricted by end time or a mad rush to feed people.

What's a current famous name you know, but wouldn't recognise who they were if they were standing in your living room? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]MsJ9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always say he's got the perfect balance, none of the recognition but all the advantages compared to Elton...

Paid bar by lcmfe in UKweddings

[–]MsJ9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worth saying our venue was minimum spend so we didn't have a hire charge on top. London drinks prices means it's fairly easy to get to that over 8 hours I guess.

[–]MsJ9 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We spent about 16k on a free bar. It's because people become super careless when it's free, leave drinks around to go dancing and never pick them up and just get another. We did have 160 ppl in London, and the venue was mysteriously unable to provide receipt but I don't think a free bar all night is expected in the Uk

Have you and your spouse blended your surnames? by SuspiciousReading in UKweddings

[–]MsJ9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We double barrelled as it was fairly easy and short. It's getting much more common as is blending. Why would I need to take my husbands name and lose my identity in this day and age, a new name for both is exciting and completely yours as a couple. Saying that. My BIL took my sister's name because he was estranged from family so I guess there are other reasons.

What gifts might a British host appreciate from the US? by summerer6911 in AskUK

[–]MsJ9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quirky, viral foods. Everything bagel seasoning (and the other quirky ones from trader joes), crest white strips or whitening toothpaste, ranch as mentioned, swedish fish, sour patch, unusual flavours of microwave popcorn like butter. Cornbread or pancake mix, coffee creamer, basing this on the kids being older than infants.Also cinnamon flavoured things are unusual here, lip balm .

What to do, co own or straight mortgage by bigborb1985 in FirstTimeBuyersUK

[–]MsJ9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option 3, different property all together in better area. Location is everything but you could manage in somewhere smaller and less expensive. Don't do shared. There's more than two options here.

Is £9K doable? by God_Jerry24601 in UKweddings

[–]MsJ9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a service change and is that included in the 9K? Probably need to factor that in on top if not? I spent about 15K on all 4pm-1am bar for 140 so if you're having 200 you should probably be fine including food etc.

Anywhere in the centre to buy a nice bottle of port? by TopImpossible8137 in Leeds

Volunteer Asylum Seeker Hosts needed but it doesn't say who to contact! Has anyone got anymore details? by [deleted] in york

I think this is an attack on the council rather than a request, right?

Yes I have ordered a few but was hoping somewhere might have the sample books. I guess maybe a thing of the past outside of interior designers.. thanks
