Hi Everyone,
Im cheryl, im planning my big day on 12/12/12, only got engaged 12 days ago!!! I originally had my heart set on getting married in the mitchell library in Glasgow and then off to the Winnock hotel in Drymen.
I have a few problems : 1) The customer service at the hotel hasnt been as good as we expected so im kind of put off securing it, ( although on the flip side it's gorgeous and holds sentimental value plus god value for money... thoughts please?)
2) The photographers we have spoke to have warned us about the amount of daylight on that day so have said if we want "greenery" type pics that we need to have a small travel distance between ceremony venue and reception venue, in order to catch the light.
3) We want a hand fastening performed and the man that we are looking at do it does not have the licence to legally marry us therefore we would still have to have to sign with a registrar... for the registrar to come to the mitchell it will cost 300 ponds, for the man to do the ceremony it will cost 300 pounds, so we decided as we are on a somewhat tight budget we would go from the mitchell library to the registrars office to quickly sign, which will only cost 100 pounds, however that gain eats into our "daylight" time for photos 
For those of you who have survived reading my rant ( thank you !!) anyone who has any suggestions of a nice small hotel venues where we could just do the whole thing there, ideally we want something from the tudor period, but not too fussed just dont want a big new modern swanky hotel. The ideal venue would have an open fire.
I am willing to sacrifice the Mitchell hotel for the ideal hotel to have all day.
Thanks again, any help offered willl be appreciated.
