Venue help!

VeeDubLuv, 2 August, 2010 at 21:17 Posted on Planning 0 11

Hi all

Me AGAIN!

So, we went and had a look at Pembroke Lodge, lovely location and venue but just to akward to get to!

The Spa Hotel Tunbridge Well, lovely but not us!

We are defo not going with Cooling Castle as the price increase is to much and they also dont have the date we really want!

We have been to see a few venues but just cant seem to find the right one!

So I need your help again!

Any type of venue (hotel, barn, manor house ect) anything, within and hours drive from Greenwich.

Thank you all again for your help xxxx

    There's Chilston Park, the Hop Farm, High Rocks in Tunbridge Wells (might be too far?). Hope you find one you love, such a shame about Cooling x

    Thank you hun!

    I was upset about Cooling but I just think it unfair to increase their price by a third!

    As they say "its just not meant to be!"

    Think I will have to have a look at the Turkey Mill.

    Can I be nosey and ask how much you are paying?

    I totally agree about Cooling though, utterly ridiculous to increase by so much x

    It is isn't it? We viewed a few we thought we'd love, and hated them all. Keep us informed of how you get on xx

    Sorry to hear you havn't found one that you like yet. I too was upset about Cooling at first but then realised it just wasn't meant to be.

    Try Chilston Park too like b2b1987 said. I loved the venue it was just too small for us. I've also been to view High Rocks and didn't rate it that high tbh. I thought the guy that showed us round (Luigi I thik his name) was pretty rude so it put me right off!

    What about Commisioners House at Chatham Dockyard?

    Have a look at this website too: http://www.inspiredweddingvenues.com/ Especially at Boxley House, this is another one that we considered but it was too small for us. x

    I too would recommend Turkey Mill we had it booked but prefer it for a summer wedding to make the most of the beautiful patio and gardens.

    I am getting married at Chilston Park which would obv recommend too! :-) x

    Hiya VeeDubLuv,

    Only just found this! Sorry to hear about CCB ☹️ - but I'm with you, it obv just wasn't meant to be.

    Have you considered Leeds Castle?

    Most of the other venues I looked at were in Essex so don't know if you would consider but Hylands House in Chelsmford is lovely and I'm pretty sure it is just under an hours drive from Greenwich so may be worth a look.

    Good luck! x
