Common questions
How much does transport cost in the UK?
Across 11 real UK prices, the median is £450, ranging from £100 to £600. These are published prices and bills people actually paid, not estimates.
Why do transport prices vary so much?
Wedding prices swing with the season, the day of the week, the region and the supplier's demand. The same photographer can charge very differently for a Saturday in June versus a Thursday in November.
How can I pay less for transport?
Ask for the price before you say "wedding", book off-peak days and seasons, and compare several suppliers. The real prices here show the range.
