Hi again ladies (and gents!)...
I have booked my reception venue-
except obv the tables would be round.
The 2nd is a smaller venue- another S&L club/village hall. The room (peeked through windows) is long and rectangular with a small bar and wooden/laminate flooring. There are windows all around the room. The tables are rectangular (she said on the phoen large seat about 10, smaller about 6). The room is from 5.30-12.30 and is £150. That includes bar and use of kitchen but you must provide your own DJ and catering. I do have a friend (2) who are chefds and do catering anyway but they are guests too. However I know he would be happy to do it after the wedding (early wedding). Not sure of cost though as would need to buy food, plates, napkins etc. Dj's are about £140 from what I gather. Anyway this is 'Ridgeway Sports & Leisure club'- also maybe known as the Tennis Club or village hall? It is in a nice looking village and has a field in front of it that they use to play football etc on. And a few benches out front. She did say there is a cricket match on that day and the players would be allowed in the corridor, toilets etc (not in the main room). Think until about 8? But she said a lot of them will go to the pub for tea if there is a big function on. The room can only hold 120 people max for insurance purposes... so as I am close I need to see who plans on bringing other halves, kids etc or tell them no.

Which one would you choose? Sorry I cant find any better photos.
I am having chair covers by a lady on here BTW- white with purple sashes, and balloons. Just need to find cheap tablecloth hire.
