How I’d pick a stag do destination
- Start with the stag. Beach, beer, sport or culture? Pick the place he’d choose, not the one you fancy.
- Be honest about the budget. Flights, beds and a weekend of rounds add up fast. A UK city keeps costs down, and our guide to cheap stag weekends has more ideas if money’s tight.
- Count the passports. Abroad is brilliant until one lad’s passport has expired. Check early, and check again.
- Think about travel time. If half the group is in Glasgow and half in Bristol, somewhere in the middle saves a lot of grumbling.
- Match the place to the plan. Want surfing? Newquay. A boat party in the sun? Benidorm or Albufeira. Beer and history? Prague or Munich.
- Book the beds first. Big weekends and match days fill hotels fast, so lock in where you’re sleeping before anything else.

How the speech service worksI was expecting a few weeks wait but he turned the speech around in 48 hours… I now have every confidence going into the wedding and can finally relax. Thank you so much, you have been a true life saver.
From inception to conclusion the process took 48 hours. It was just what I wanted, a cross between part serious/part humour… I would use his service again without hesitation.
