Room in the Rodings/Essex

Princess_Dimples, 13 April, 2011 at 18:06 Posted on Planning 0 6

Hi all,

Just wanted to know has anyone had/been to a wedding there?

I'm due to book my wedding there but I keep getting a niggly feeling about it. We're getting what we want...hog roast for mains (bringing in own caterers that look fab!), and supplying own alcohol. The price is also great!

I just feel that the venue isn't loved by the owners as much as their other venue Reid Rooms...sounds weird I know!

Any reassurance would be fab! x

    No sorry! Went to a Wedding on Monday at the Ried rooms but that isn't much help. Wasn't the best if honest... they serve the buffet in a different room to the DJ so there was noone other that around 4/5 people in the room at one time. x

    Hello! We're getting married at the Reid Rooms in November and although it may not be everyones cup of tea, we love it and I cant wait!

    The buffet being in a separate area isnt something that we're too worried about - the main thing is that the Bar is in the same room as the DJ/Dance floor....dont you always find the men propping up the bar! Im obsessed with trying to keep everyone on the dance floor so hopefully this shouldnt be a problem.

    Never looked at the Room in the Rodings but we've got some friends having their reception there in May so will have a looksie and let you know.

    Hey Shelsmyth,

    The Reid rooms was lovely, it was just a shame that after they have tanked up at the bar, the next place they prop up is the buffet table! The venue is stunning! The ceremony room was just too small for us.

    I will have an ask around some of my friends at work and see if anyone has some info on the Room though! Must admit it wasn't until your post that I realised they were different venues! haha I thought the room was just one of the Reid Rooms!

    That's fanastic! Mary is a wonderful lady, and has been very helpful so far.

    Are you having your own caterers? We're going with Magpie Caterers...their food looks fab!
