Evening all,
We were pretty set on a wedding at the Boathouse at Ormesby by Broad. However, costs were running up and we realised that that wasn't the sort of wedding we wanted. It's an amazing place and I'd recommend it for people to look at as it is stunning and relatively probably a good cost.
However, in our heart of hearts, what we really want is a more vintagey/DIY-style wedding.
So... My grandparents have this 'open' barn style building thing. I love the idea of a barn style reception, and to hold it in a family-owned building would give us so many more options than some venues i.e. no corkage, decorations exactly how we want, lots of flexibility.
The only problem is, it's used to park vehicles in, so it's got one long side completely open. And I'm looking into options for how we can weather proof that side so that if it rains, or is possibly really cold or something (in August unlikely, but we are in England!) we can shelter the guests and still have it there. Because if it's raining on the morning of the wedding, at that point it is way too late to get a venue for that evening, understandably.
So I thought I'd see if anyone on here has/has had a similar problem and what you did/whether there were any temporary barn side coverings (there's probably a much better name for them though).
Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance all
