Just A Little Advice Required on Reception Venue!

Firstly, Happy Halloween All! ?

I would like to ask my fellow hitchers for some advice regarding our wedding reception venue. Andy finally gets his backdated pay from his promotion in November so we will be putting the deposit down on the venue but I'm still unsure as to which one to choose, although I do have a preference!!

The first venue is the one Andy wanted originally. We have used this venue for work meetings so it just feels like work. The bar is in a separate room to the seating and dance area, so I have concerns about everyone congregating in the bar area. And the venue is quite big for only 80 people!!

The second venue is my favourite as it has loads of character, the registry office is just around the corner and it comes highly recommended.

They say a picture paints a thousand words so tell me fellow hitchers, which one do you prefer??

If it was me I'd pick the second one - but it partyl depends on the sort of evening you're planning? More information might be helpful on your plans for the day.

You need to look at the whole package... the deal, the contract, the details, wahts included, what you can do, what you cant. Whats restricted, who the suppliers and caterers they force you to use, what the foods like

etc..

I prefer the second by a long shot! It's got character with the beams and the flooring, and looks like the atmosphere would be lovely in there IYSWIM.

I personally would stay away from somewhere that has other memories, especially work related memories!

Second one, hopefully its at the right price for you.

I also would not have a venue that I had attended work do's in... you defo need to keep that separate.

Thanks for your advice (& telling me what I wanted to hear!!)

The first venue will only allow us to use their catering whereas the second one doesn't mind what we do as long as we are happy. Funnily enough, my preferred venue is cheaper!! x
