In October this year the Buckatree Hall Hotel in Shropshire put a complete wedding package up for sale on EBay following a cancellation. And although Mr Les Clark and his bride to be Colette Palin set aside a maximum of £1,000 for the EBay bid, all it took was a mere £51 to secure the wedding package.

Earlier the couple had contacted the 3 star Hotel with a view to booking their wedding there. However, the hotel’s staff tipped the couple off to the cancellation slot which had just gone up for sale on EBay. Ordinarily a wedding reception at this venue would set you back at least £1,500.

The lucky couple were treated to a red carpet welcome with a Bucks Fizz reception, followed by a 3 course meal for their guests, and an evening buffet for 50 guests. The hotel also provided a perfect end to the wedding day for the newlyweds with an overnight stay in the hotel’s honeymoon suite.

As a reported regular EBay user, Mr Clark wasted no time in placing a bid for the wedding reception. Ms Palin said they had jumped at the opportunity saying:”we just thought we would see if we could strike lucky.” They certainly did, winning the wedding package for just £51.The 25-year-old brides luck continued as she is reported to then have found the perfect wedding day dress with a whopping 50% discount taking the cost down to £450.
