Perfect Wedding Reception Location!

I think I have found the perfect wedding reception location, I actually love it!

 

 

It’s The Manor Barn in Harlton – I really think it’s perfect for us… I hope Scott thinks the same.

 

Plus it’s a really reasonable price, and really gives us what we kept saying we wanted.

Rectory Farm

A possible reception location if we were to having the wedding in Cambridge, it would make a lovely setting and would give us great photographs. Although the cost is very high.

Wedding in Scotland

I love this hotel inthe south of Scotland, it would make a lovely location for a wedding although if we were to have it there it would mean it would be a lot of travelling for the guests. We would also have to shange the date we plan to have the wedding to be earlier or later as you can only book it during the winter season.

The cost is really high although it does cover nearly all of the expenses for the reception.

Something to think about...

The guest list

For me the most important people to have at our wedding will be our families, followed by close friends. I would love to have the people from Kilve Court there as well although I'm not still in contact with everyone.

I think that we need to scale back the number of guests we invite to the ceremony to keep the costs down and then invite more to the evening reception.

Questions for When Looking for Wedding Venues for Both Ceremony and Reception

•Do they own enough chairs for the ceremony, or will they need to be rented?

•Does the wedding venue have an entirely separate area for the ceremony? {It is not uncommon that while the guests are at the cocktail hour, the caterers will transform the ceremony room into the dining room and/or dance floor.)

•If not, how long does it typically take for the staff to change over the room?

Questions to ask yourself when deciding on a wedding venue

•What's the decor like? Does it fit your style and wedding colors? Will you have to spend a lot of money on flowers and decorations to make it beautiful?

•Do they have an in-house caterer, and do you like that food? (While an in-house caterer can be easier and cheaper, sometimes the food is not as beautiful as the room. So make sure you taste it!) Do they have a limitation on which outside caterers you can use?

•Do they have adequate coat check and bathroom facilities?

•Is the wedding venue wheelchair accessible? If not, are there many stairs to climb? How close is the parking to the ceremony and reception rooms?
•What's the cancellation policy?

•Is there a payment schedule? What kind of deposits are required?

•Are there any hidden costs? (Before you sign the contract, read it carefully.)

•What are the overtime charges?

•Do they have a liquor license?

•Will they allow you to bring your own liquor? (This is usually cheaper, even with the customary corkage fee.)

•Is there room in the wedding venue for a band and/or dancing?

•Does the wedding venue already own a sound system with adequate speakers or will that need to be rented?

•Is there a space for the bride and groom to change and/or relax?

•Where will you take photographs? Is there a park nearby, or do the coordinators have recommended spots on the grounds?

•Who will be supervising and troubleshooting before the day of your wedding? Who will be supervising and troubleshooting on the day of your wedding? Can you meet them now?

•Where can your guests park? Are there extra fees for parking? Do they have valet parking?

•Is the wedding venue convenient to public transportation, especially in big cities? How long will it take your guests to get there?
•Especially in museums or private clubs, are there limitations on decorations? Do they limit food and drinks to only certain areas of the wedding venue?

•Are candles or other open flames allowed?
