There's a hire place on your left coming down St George' Hill from Chlorakas towards the Hotel of the same name. Can't recall the name but they do lots of wedding hires!

Oohh just had a thought - could your own DJ not still be at a dry cleaners where it was taken after you wore it last?

:grin:

Or try the charity shops, they usually keep the djs and evening dresses for this time of the year.

Hi Vine,
Sounds like your wife might have a lot in common with mine;

a) a tendency to take garments from my wardrobe she considers 'past their best', then transport them covertly to the local charity shop.
b) a tendency to deny it when questioned! :doh

I'm guessing the only venue requiring this type of 'outdated' (IMHO) dresscode would be a golf club. Why not try asking one of your similar sized playing fraternity to lend you their 'spare'?

Oh,,sorry,migmogs.go down from the motor way and take the first right after macdonalds traffic lights.
Pass the big Dominate which is in the right and go through the roundabout, it is about 200 yards on the left.
