Out of bundle costs
You will have to pay extra if you want to add extra guests or add something to the menu. And although some of the hotels offer a discount for guests, they will have to pay extra to stay the night.
Always check if you have to pay a non-refundable fee before booking, and also get confirmation of what'll be included in the package.
Are these any good?
If you're looking for a lavish affair with all the trimmings, this is unlikely to come up trumps.
Yet if you want an affordable simple affair with some basic food and drink, it won't be easy to organise it much cheaper.
