How to have a wedding without a reception and still feel like a wedding

As mentioned in my last post, due to my fiancé’s ill health We’ll be getting married asap at registrars with his brothers and kids and a friend of mine. I know we can’t have a traditional reception after but I would like to do something so it feels like we had a special time. What could we do? Nice meal together?
Any suggestions on places in the Whitley Bay / Newcastle area?
