UK biggest budget hotel chain launches wedding package for just £199

You’ve heard of the 99p wedding dress and £100 reception? Now a hotel chain is launching a credit crunch busting £199 wedding package to give couples an affordable wedding and honeymoon.

With the average wedding now costing a staggering £21,000 , Brits could be mistaken for thinking that their big day needs a big budget to go with a bang. The UK’s biggest budget hotel chain Premier Inn is launching a wedding package for just £199, giving brides and grooms a day to remember – without the hefty price tag.

The great value £199 deal from Premier Inn is a limited offer for couples who are strapped for cash but want a special and affordable wedding day.

The wedding package is being offered at five Premier Inn locations across the UK and will include:
• Wedding outfits for the couple (suit/dress)
• Confetti for guests
• A buffet reception for up to 20 guests
• Wedding cake
• A Premier Inn Honeymoon – two night’s stay for the couple including dinner, bed and breakfast, rose petals for the bed, sparkling wine, strawberries and chocolates, spa hamper and nightwear
• Best man’s speech template

Premier Inn spokesperson Steve Conway says, “A wedding day doesn’t need to cost a fortune for it to be special. We hope that our bargain wedding package will help couples to have an enjoyable, romantic, stress-free day and a honeymoon that won’t break the bank.”

Newly engaged couple Lee and Kelly from London say they are really interested in the wedding package.

Kelly says “I was so excited when we got engaged but when I realised what the costs attached to paying for our dream day would be I really started to worry, we are definitely going to consider this offer.”
