Op I hope things work out for you, its a tough time for you both facing redundancy and wedding plans been upset. I wish you both a lovely life together, remember a happy marriage doesnt need an elaborate wedding day.

It could happen anyone.

Sorry to hear that op.
I suggest maybe you head to some of the wedding websites and post on a forum there, you might get some interest there.

itsallaboutme!!

So sorry to hear that OP hope everything works out for you in the end;)

Sorry to hear that OP hope you're still able to go ahead with the wedding itself even if the reception is not as you had planned.

Times are indeed tough but instead of starting from scratch could you still use the hotel for a mini reception i.e. less guests, less lavish menu (only going by my own experience of weddings) no band just a DJ which can be great fun if you get the right one. I'm sure guest already invited will understand if you can't have everyone you originally wanted at the reception but they can come to the evening reception or a drinks night out in the local for everyone the following night is regularly done these days.

Best of luck regardless.

You should post on weddingsonline.ie with the date OP-there may be someone interested there or maybe a supplier could let you get in contact with somebody.

Very upsetting to have to cancel because of redundancy or anything finance related. Do still try and have a lovely day though-start haggling with caterers if you go down that route or look into just having a big celebration/party midweek maybe to save venue costs. Everything will work out,don't worry. Health and happiness to you both!

so sorry to hear this, many in the same boat. weddings online would be the place alright as suggested above and I hope you get sorted.

...while your date may be a bit far away for it, for anyone that it happens to quite near a date, don't cancel straight away, contact all the suppliers and outline the situation and say you are trying to negotiate with all but unless you come under a certain drastically reduced budget you may have to cancel but understand if the supplier cant go ahead. Be nice and nice things may happen for you.

Sorry to hear about your circumstances OP, it was very thoughtful of you to give someone else the chance to book on that day if you cant make it work for yourself, i hope you will have your perfect day in the future, all the best

It is 6 months away, don't panic.
You might only be out of work for a short time and back in a new job and ready to go again very soon.

WOuld an option be agreeing with the hotel to pay them afterwards. Try and cut all costs out and then ask all the guests for cash gifts only.

You might cover the cost of the wedding with the cash from the presents.

An option maybe?

That's a big ask..
If it was me I'd let it go. Not something OP shouldn't consider seeing as it means so much to him/her.
Ijust know I wouldn't enjoy the day knowing I'm depending on the presents to pay for it..

So sorry to hear your dream has been shattered.

BUT, this could be a blessing in disguise....

Get married in a small, intimate ceremony on the same day. Have a small family gathering, and a bit of a party somewhere that night, or later.

No one will mind, as I'm sure you haven't sent out invitations yet.

Remember, it is you and your loved one getting married, not the hotel, not the band, not the flowers, not the makeup, not the gifts, not your friends and family, it is YOU.

Really, at the end of the day, I think a small, intimate gathering is becoming much more the norm instead of the big mega spend day. And I think everyone appreciates that, and will probably admire you more for being realistic, and having a day for yourselves.

Whatever happens, best of luck and do it your way now, not the way you THINK people expect.
