Venues in Lincoln

Blimey that's a hell of a lot of money! We are spending about 8k and that is getting us a lot - I don't even know how you'd manage to spend 40k ? (although personally we would prob give back at least 30k of it, as it wouldn't seem right to me to take all that money off someone).

Anyway I digress. We live in Lincoln too (although are not getting married in Lincoln) other venues you could try are:

Branston Hall Hotel

The Lawn

The Bentley Hotel

Jocastas

Will see if I can think of anymore for you.

I don't know of anywhere in Lincoln I'm afraid as it's a bit out of my area but I have done weddings at The West Retford Hotel in Retford which is only about 15 mins from Lincoln and very close the the A1. Here is the link if that helps:-

I'm thinking this too.....

What he has done is soooo generous, i've just spoke to him and told him we couldn't possibly take that much money from him. The wedding will not cost that much in a million years! He told me that OH's 2 sisters both got the same when they got married, so to use the money to have the best wedding day we can imagine, a fantastic honeymoon and then to help us start our life together!

Nikki, whereabouts are you getting married? And when?

You are the first person on here i have come across that lives in Lincoln lol x

I'm not keen on posting the details of where on a public forum, there have been incidents in the past of loonies cancelling things for other brides etc so I'm a bit wary. Happy to chat of board about things like that though if you want, always good to talk to someone else local!

Wedding is 18th Spetember 2010.

Have you set a date yet? (If I don't reply for a while I'm off in the shower whilst LO is still napping ?).

Loonies..... never thought of that!!! Why would someone do that? Strange little creatures!

We had set a date for the register office of 27th August 2010 to give us time to save up but we are looking at bringing the date forward a few months, maybe a march wedding!

Will have to ring around and see what dates are available. And see how long it will take for dresses etc...... So much to do! What stage of planning are you at? x

Hey kirsty i live in lincoln too. are you wanting to get married actually in lincoln or just outside lincoln?

i might have some brochures around somewhere so will look later.

xx

Actually in Lincoln as we live in the City centre as do most of our family so would just be easier with everyone getting home etc.

Any unwanted brochures would be fab ?

Hi Kirsty,

I live in Lincoln too, we re getting married in June next year, im having a church wedding just down from the cathedral and then im having my reception at Ruston Marconi's on Newark Road.

I did look into the Assembly rooms for my reception but i know thta they do ceromonies there to if you didnt want to get married in church.

If you need any other help, i will try my best to help. x

ha ha i actually probably dont live far from you then. i live in the west parade area. i dont have any brochures for the hotels round the square but we did have a peek at the white hart and i think theres one near the lawns called the charlotte hotel or something. Also its always worth asking if you can have your pictures taken in the castle grounds. i see brides doing that all the time in the summer!

sorry about the brochures lol x

Haha!!! Small world! We're top of the hill so not really city centre but easier to say city centre than top of the hill lol

I was thinking of photo's at the castle..... one more thing to add to my list of 'Things To Think About' lol....... I have sooo many lists at the min, a list for absolutely everything, makes me feel organised although to be truthful, i'm the most disorganised person in the world!

I havent booked a thing yet and we want to get married ASAP......... Just cant decide on a venue, think i'm gonig to phone around and see if i can go in and see someone to draw up an estimate of the cost and see if we like the venue etc......

And i want to go dress shopping NOW!!! My CB came round today and decided she didn't like the BM dresses i had picked out ? Why are sisters so bloody annoying and awkward?!?!

So hows your planning going?

Kirsty x

I'm also a lincolnshire lassie too

Although slightly further south than you guys, in a small village just south of sleaford.

I'm going to a wedding in lincoln tomorrow at Norton Disney, just outside Lincoln. Can pick up some bits for you if you like! Just email me your address, again like knickers twickers, I'm not keen on posting my actual address on a public forum, but if anyone wants to contact me off forum as a friend or a Lincs meet up then please feel free!!

Em x

ha ha i've been up the hill all weekend showing the uni freshers around.

Are you going to the wedding fayre next weekend? its all taking place in the various venues etc in the bailgate. www.lincolnweddingfayre.co.uk

You should definitely have a look at the white hart. me and mr delicious popped in today and its amazing. its all posh! lol we're thinking of re-looking at some venues in lincoln.

As for our actual planning its really not going very far at all. not got much time or money, and need to finish uni and get ourselves sorted.
