I feel like I've spent days on end trying to find a suitable reception venue and eventhing just seems too expensive for us. I tried function rooms and pubs but without our guests paying for their own food they're too much. All our local village halls are either uncontactable (no one answers the phones) or do not allow alcohol. And everywhere else seems to be sooooo, overpriced and insist you use thier inhouse caterers (sp)
ATM I'm considering having it in my garden (the grandparents have a large gazeebo (sp) we could borrow) but I keep thinking my garden isn't as nice as either my dads or fil2b's. Either of which would happily let us use, but then you get the problem of people feeling uncomfortable, which is likely to happen when all parents are divorced and remarried ?It's all just a huge mine field and this is why h2b and I have been together nearly 10yrs and not bothered marrying yet.
So...Any idea's on where we could have a cheep reception? There are only around 30 guests (3 under 4's)
Or, if you were us would you just have it at home/fil2bs/dads.
Sorry if I've confussed anyone it a bit of a rant/ramble, but that's me all over lol ? x
