00:00Weddings are expensive. Anyone who has planned one can tell you how much the costs can blow out,

00:06especially when you have a large guest list. And if your family and friends are anything like mine,

00:12one of the major expenses is alcohol. So you're faced with a choice. Do you book a fancy wedding

00:17venue with all the bells and whistles like bespoke cocktails and a great wine package?

00:22Or do you go down the DIY BYO route? In this Australian community media wedding series,

00:29we'll discuss the pros and cons of each choice. For example, you could choose to have a fancy

00:34venue and have trained bartenders prepare everything. It means you don't have to worry

00:38about setting up or packing down, but it is a much more expensive option. Or you could hire a country

00:44hall and bring in bulk liquor from a bottle shop. It's cheaper, but it's a lot of extra work on an

00:50already busy day. And you have to decide if you'll hire a bartender or if your drunk uncle can be

00:56trusted to serve himself. Is there a part of your wedding planning process that you're struggling

01:02with? Reach out to me at ACM and I'll look into the best options. And congrats on the big day.
