As summer approaches, a new survey has revealed the true cost of weddings – as a guest!!

According to research by hotels.com, the average adult attends two weddings a year (and associated hen/stag parties) at a cost of £1,700 annually.

Have a look at wedding venues around your local area and see what they’re doing (if anything) to help families meet the cost of their special day.

Maybe they have novelty features to put themselves ahead of the local competition or simply compare each venue’s prices and what they offer couples.
