Cost of wedding, does this sound ok/normal/ridiculous/rip-off/stop moaning Ian etc?

Without a doubt, for just catering that sounds very expensive. I'd recommend planning exactly what you need and getting things separately from different suppliers.

When we had our wedding last year I was living in Cebu and we didn't use friends or family for anything. We directly approached suppliers and venues, and negotiated/played them off against each other. We had an amazing wedding, for a lot less then we expected.

Determine why you want, buy the cake, rings, photographer, venue, lechon baboy, drinks, transport all separately.

Its not about the cost, it's about getting what you deserve. For 150,000 you could expect n awful lot more.
