Choosing Venues

Mostly price, but also location and the fact we can have ceremony & reception in same place = no need for transport and saves more money, we are on a v tight budget. Our venue hire + food/drinks and entertainment comes in at under £2K so it was a no brainer really, at the end of the day the result is the same, I get a wonderful husband and that's what counts x

Hiya we started looking based on location and price and then went to see our venue just on a whim and loved it! It has a hiring fee which is basically the difference all the food etc cost the same as the other places. We are bringing in r own drinks and paying corkage as this will save us about £500-£600. So for us its def worth it.

Have a chat about the corkage and then work out what you get it for yourself, there are so many offers in supermarkets that you can get some really good deals.

Hope that helps, good luck xx

We're getting married in a brewery. The reasons we chose it were: 1. Exclusive use 2. as far from 'church' wedding as we could get 3. cost 4. IT'S A BREWERY!

But it's a beautiful venue, it has a really good reputation and their regular dinner and beer tasting events are always full. We know a couple who got married there last year, and they said it was fantastic.

I got an instant "feeling" when we drove up. It's just so gorgeous and it will be privately ours which is very important as my OH hates wedding factories where you're bumping into 5 other sets of guests!

Oh that and the price was obviously very important. They are doing a meal for 60 with arrival drink, half bottle of wine, toast drink, evening buffet, DJ, room hire, bridal suite and 2 extra rooms all for a bargain price of £3990! We are oop North though and I think that makes a huge difference.
