    I'm due to get married next year and we want to do it overseas - probably Portugal or similar but open to options. Its only a small wedding, about 50 people or so. Instead of doing everything in parts, what I'd really like to do is find a place/service that offers pre build wedding package - venue, food etc etc. I'm assuming (hoping) these exist so they can take a lot of the hassle out of it for you.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? This won't be a big budget wedding and I know how costs can totally spiral - so can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks.

    We were married in Greece (Zante) in Sept 2009 and it was the best thing we ever done.
    Most of my family were coming over from Wales, hers are from here, told them the plan was Greece and they loved it, took 30 guests over

    We paid 4,000 Euro for all of this, we actually got married on a boat on a 3hr cruise around Turtle Island (it's not mentioned below but on the link it says it can be added), actually i just looked through this list and we also had a 4 course meal with a live band. I think the next year they bumped this price up to 5k, they must have taken a bit of a hit as we got soooo much

    The lady who runs it all is Athena and she was spot on, my wife just exchanged emails with what she wanted (types of flowers etc) and she sorted everything, we just had to turn up.

    If you want any more info, or even see some pics just ask
