Wedding Fayre's

I remember a few years ago things were simple. I would do 4 or 5 Wedding Fayre's a year and they would cost around £50.00 each. I would get 3 or 4 weddings from these events, so it was worth turning up and putting a display out.

I attended a wedding fayre last year as you may remember and it cost around £500.00 to do it.

I got zero weddings on the day and zero from it afterwards. The few I thought I may have had booked someone cheaper in the end.

I also had an advert in the paper as part of the wedding fayre package which I also got Zero from.

It was a big event with quite a few people through the door and I'm not sure what happened, but I have always done well in the past at the small wedding fayres I have attended in the past.

Now I dont know about you but £500.00 isnt an amount of money which I just like to throw away. £50.00 and my time is worth doing one just in case you do get some weddings, but its not much of a loss if you get nothing back.

So if your wondering if I will be doing the £500.00 event this year, the answer is NO!

I would be better going to a casino and putting it all on Black! Or just giving it to Comic Relief.

The sad thing is that the small wedding fayres don't seem to happen much these days. I think this is due to the big corporations taking over the wedding fayre market.

As I see it the £500.00 event was no better or worse than the £50.00 events. I think I could almost put my own event on for £500.00! It wouldnt be a wedding fayre though! It would be a circus event where I jump from a great height into a glass of water!
