I live in fareham. I agree about chilworth manor,think they have let theirt standards drop lately. We have chosen Lyndhurst in the New Forest instead. x

I'll try and find them for you - it was probably on that site which acts as your "advisor" you on your "trip" (not sure if I can say the name). I'll put a link on your wall when I find them again :)

Hi katie. We live just south of petersfield but up until a month ago just outside southhampton. There are alot of different venues. And so many different price ranges as well. Although we are now marrying in Hayling Island but only because we were offered a good deal. We found quite a few places like country pubs that offered really good packages for things like hog roasts or bbqs and a lot of them owned their own marquee that could set up if the weather not looking good. Its worth asking even in places you wouldnt expect to do a wedding we were pleasantly surprised at what some offered.

ours worked out all in including dj for £35 a head thats sit down meal and evening buffet as well as equivalent of 4 drinks per person. Then £9 a child. They normally charge £55 a head just for a basic package. Most of our family and friends arent local so having to travel anyway but at the end of the day it is your day and you shouldnt have to worry about peoples travel arrangments. Most of our guests are staying in the hotel and we get married their to so no travel issues once people are actually there. Its your day not everyone elses. We have about 100 people including children.

For the Golden Jubilee room of the reg office its £175, that fits 50 people but they do allow people to stand at the back. You also need to pay £25 to reserve your date and then £33.50 each to give notice of marriage.
Even though we are having our reception in a village hall its still very expensive, over £1000 on food (we've hired an outside caterer). If I knew then what I know now I'd have done a package at a hotel/manor house or whatever because in total we've spent about 7k
