Is it possible to organise a bespoke wedding under £10,000?

This is the question I have been pondering for a while now.

After 10 years together my boyfriend and I have decided to tie the knot. My dad has very kindly given us a wedding fund (probably saved since my birth, he's kind of traditional that way!). I think it's a lot of money........until I started to try and plan the wedding.

Jeez, how can everything be soooo expensive? seriously. We're one of the last of our friends to get married so we've been to a lot of 'do's, some formal, some more ad-hoc but I never realised quite what really went into them.

One of the main things about my day has always been, that I want all the people I care about in one space for the day, it doesnt happen often, if ever to be honest, so a big guest list is an important factor. We are in the preliminary stages but it looks like 100 guests in the day and 150-ish fo rthe evening.

So, my mission is to organise our big day, for 100 at least, for under £10,000, surely its possible.......isn't it?
