Congratulations! What a proposal! I live in Wilts too! Whereabouts in Wilts are you? xx

Hi Niki, I live in Trowbridge, how about you? I'm sat for the 3rd night trawling the internet for venues!

North Swindon here!

People spend forever looking into venues but so very worth the effort because you want somewhere you are totally happy with!

Are you wanting a church wedding or not? Have you thought about whether you'd like a separate venue for ceremony and separate venue for breakfast and reception? Or a venue that can do all of the above? Or are you open to ideas at the moment?

Welcome to Hitched!

Look forward to hearing about your planning

Anna

We are pretty open on venues, I dont want to marry in church as its my 2nd wedding (I know its not generally a problem these days but I dont want o have to explain myself!) Ideally I would like a hotel wedding where we can spend the whole day and night there and family and friends can also stay too and join us for breakfast in the morning!!

We do have to ensure that the ceremony is wheelchair accessible as h2b father is quite poorly with Parkinsons, also not too far from home as we need to traansport him there and back!

Where are you getting married to?? I was just looking at venues in Swindon!

Ohhh lovely.. thats exactly the wedding I am having! I am getting married in a hotel, having the ceremony in the gardens, the breakfast on the patio, and the evening do in the room connected to the patio. Guests are staying and joining us for breakfast the following morning. I couldn't think of anything more perfect!

What venues have you looked at so far?

I'm not getting married in Swindon though.. I am getting married in Somerset. The venue is special to us both. Bit of a trek for us to go for appointments, etc but it will be very worth it.

We are yet to actually visit any yet, but have looked at Leigh Park Hotel, Limpley Stoke Hotel, The Old Mill in Batheaston, Cumberwell golf club, and The Mill at Rode!

I think we need to go and have a look to get a feel for the venues, I love The Rookery nr Weston Super Mare, but its just too far!

I have just read a wedding dress thread and wang to go and try dresses on now!

Where abouts are you getting married? Sounds beautiful x

We're getting hitched in the Webbington Hotel in Axbridge, Somerset.. near Weston.

I advise you and your OH to take a day off to go and visit some venues! It might be an idea to phone first to make sure there are no functions going on that will restrict you from looking at all the rooms, etc. You will soon feel it in your gut when you find the right venue for you because you'll stand there and picture yourself becoming a Mrs in that room or that location and it'll just feel right. Take pics so you can remember the size, etc. Come back home, grab a bottle of wine, and have a good natter with OH about the venue.. make it a fun process because the further towards the wedding you get, the more stressed you may become. So enjoy it while it's still early days! ? And good luck! Please let us know how you get on! Exciting!! ?

Thank you so much for all your advice!! I am going to arrange some visits after easter when the kiddiwinkles are back at school!!

I just looked at your hotel, its amazing I love it, its very much what i'm looking for (i think!!)

James is 13 in June Ellis is 11 in July, Livvy is 6 in June and Lucas is 2 and 2 months!!! They are quite excited too, Well Livvy is!! She will be a bridesmaid 3 times in 18 months!!

Oh we have a fair bit in common.. my OH has two children from a previous marriage, age 16 and 11. Then there's my son, 6 and our daughter, 2! Fairly similar ages to your brood!

We do have a fair bit in common!! How bizairre to come on here and find someone quite local with things in common!!

H2b just informed me he's like to get married at a golf club, hmmm I wonder why?!!

C x

Hahaha.. keep all options open though! Happy hunting! Looking forward to seeing your wedding plans unfold on here! My wedding is looming very near but I'll stick around afterwards for advice & help. and just because I love this place so much! ?
