FAO -- West Midalnds Togs

I would get in touch with them and ask to be honest. I'm sure they wouldn't stop you but just out of courtesy, I think just drop them an email saying when and what time you might be there.

We have thought about this and i may end up doing this very shortly .

The hall is currently closed for the winter period but i'm assuming that there are going to be admin staff there to answer and queries

If it were me, I would contact the admin for the place. That way you could avoid a jobsworth security guard on the day ruining your day.

Of course, there is a possibility they may say no (insurance etc) although plead to there better nature and it should be fine. I have organised similar things in my own area and usually people want to help.

So you want to use the grounds/house as a backdrop but do this without entering the grounds? Safest thing would be to check permission but if they charge a fee to use the grounds inside the property they may not be happy with you trying to do it on their boundary. Perhaps you could negotiate to pay a reduced fee?

Thank you for your replies , just sent them an email see what i get back !!!

The land we were on was in fact a public right of way (i've done my research) so some of the photos would be good to go .

Could not see any security guards/dogs whilst we were there and my Tog has been there this week at various times in the day including taking various shots of the suggested background we would be using and he was not stopped by any one.

The hall itself is owned by The Archdiocese of Birmingham and there is a church opposite the hall

Hi

Just a quick update: I've had confirmation that we can use the front and moat for a small fee ?

Thats good news. Better to know you are doing it "legally" rather than worrying about it in the run up to and on your wedding day.
