Hey missies,

Decided to get a red carpet for the church aswell as the entrance to hotel. It may seem extreme to some but it is something I always wanted and I decided to go for it.

I got a quote for €165 and am considering booking it. Did anyone else get a red carpet for church and if so does my quote seem like a good quote?

All help appreciated.

You could do a DIY version for alot cheaper!

Either Hickeys / a carpet shop and do it yourself!
I think thats quite expensive! My hotel included that as standard!! FREE!!

After-all its just carpet HIRE, maybe its just me though!
My aunt carpeted her hall stairs and landing for under €200, she keeps that obviously and that included them fitting it!!

If it is from a company who is reputable and has the appropriate insurance (very important when hiring carpets) then no, it is actually an OK price. Red carpets are usually a 2 person setup and remember, if it's not local to the company, the people have to hang around until after the ceremony to collect it. From setup to take away, you could be talking 4 hours per person, so putting it into context, it's not expensive, no. HTH.

Thanks for the replies, MrsEnglish the hotel are giving me one but it's for the church. Actually just got another quote for €100 so delighted with that!

That's a great price, just make sure like I said, that they have insurance, I know a lot of insurance companies won't even cover this, so make sure that your supplier is insured, as it's easy to trip over carpet that isn't fixed down.

Hi mrswtobe! Could you pm tme the details of the quote you got for €100? Cheapest quote i've got is €200!! Cheers!!

[MrsEnglish]

I guess when you break it down as Giselle has its not that bad . . . . although the €100 is brilliant!
I think I would go with that

Thats great price cheapest quote i got was 200 for a white one though, settled on the red carpet the hotel were giving for free in the end ,having civil ceremony ..

[colour12]

that was good price weve been quoted mostly around 200 for the church red carpet hire

[prioryweddings]

We offer a red carpet hire service. It runs from the church door to the altar. It is true that from the time the carpet is delivered to the church and rolled out down the aisle to the time the ceremony ends takes approximately 3 hours. It also takes over an hour to clean. Not only does it look well inside a church, it keeps your wedding dress clean. Anything up to €200 is a fair price for this service.

Priory are you a new supplier?
You are not suppose to post until your account is set up...

I think its too much - I got offered mine free by my hotel - the hotel had 2 and said its no problem to tak eone for the church. several car companies I had contacted also said they would provide a free carpet so it might be worth asking around

[MeathBride]

Can someone please pm me with details for the company that supplied the red carpet for 100euro, sounds like a bargain...can't find any cheaper..thanks

Ask your hotel, they may have a spare one, also ask your chauffeur they may have an extra one.

Thanks for the advice lamb, I'll email them now
