It certainly won't be as good as a 'proper' conversion, but certainly a decent enough compromise. The conversion process will give better saturation, brightness and so on, but you can tweak the file when you've done it the cheap way, increase brightness, etc., etc. If I was doing it, I'd project the film onto a small screen for optimum clarity and brightness, you just have to put the camera a bit nearer! And there is the consideration of 'keystone' effect which is a slightly distorted image, but, again, you could compensate for this post-production.
The problem with post-production is that - as with all things - you can't put back what isn't there to start with. Given that Neil mentioned one of them is his wedding I'd be very inclined to spend the extra to get a proper job done of conserving such an important event.
