Village hall wedding venue. Opinions please! I

I love this idea! Weddings in hotels are all a bit samey. A village hall wedding sounds much more intimate and informal and a chance for you to make it more personal.

Our local girl guide hut can be hired out for functions and is a 2 minute walk from the church. I love the idea of guests being able to walk to it after the church instead of messing about with big journeys.

I agree, I think it would be much more relaxed and chilled out. And I'm sure you could make it look amazing, it might just take a bit more work than a hotel venue, or you could get a venue dressing company in to do it for you. Go for it if it ticks the boxes

Thanks ladies

relaxed is what we are looking for. We don't want a big fancy wedding just simple and fun!

Going to to cost up everything to decorate and see what the price difference is.

Nice to to know the first few opinions are positive ones!

We almost did a village hall wedding! We were looking to save money, and knew we didn't want the whole hotel package deal thing. In the end we opted for a marquee in the grounds of an old farm, but a village hall location was second on our list. It's a blank canvas, you can make it look how you like, and you have complete freedom to arrange everything the way you want it. The downside is you do have to organise everything separately, but if you're organised and have plenty of time and a creative touch it will be great fun rather than hard work! Nobody will think it's naff, especially if you get quality caterers in. In my experience people are perfectly happy as long as they're fed and watered well!

Exactly what Lucyjo said - I think it'd be fab! And was second on our list - we've ended up hiring a marquee in the grounds of a house (& sometimes wish we'd chosen the village hall option!). ?
