Although unconventional the idea of having your wedding reception at Toby Carvery may be a viable option for couples struggling to afford their big day.

The average cost of a wedding has more than doubled over the last decade according to Compare Wedding Insurance (CWI) and when you add the cost of living crisis on top, some couples cannot cover the costs.

Compare Wedding Insurance took data from more than 5,000 wedding insurance policies and discovered the average cost back in 2012 was £11,441.

That is projected to rise to £24,109 in 2023 which is up 11% from £21,725 just a year before.
