I love it, it's changing way too much tho They knocked down the bingo hall/arcade on the quay front the other week and are planning to put up flat's!!! soooooo not what wells is about and will ruin the whole sea front experiance that you used to get in my opinion, my nan would be turning in her grave if she knew!!

Oh I didnt know that thats awful... I liked that arcades. Ive. Actually got a gig in a hotel called the crown there at the end of the month, i'll have to have a look at what they have done and drive past x
CommentAuthorx~Hails~x
They still have pop-in the other side (on the road to the beach) and plattens cafe has now turned into a complete arcade which I think is just soooo wrong (I remember sitting in the cafe when i was little drinking milkshake while my nan played bingo hehehe) now they have two seats where the ice cream used to be (my sisters very first job was selling ice cream there hehehe). Plattens chippie is still there thank fully cause I LOVE them hehehe but even up the high street things are changing like the jewellers has gone :-( so many changes and all my memories with them :-(

Arrrhh when you we're little drinking milkshake... That is so me, everytime my mum took me to a cafe I had to hAve milkshake. Its the same in yarmouth though, everything is changing for no reason and its really sad. In caister where I live there was only one thing left called neptunes palace on caisters old holiday park which now belongs to haven... And my mum and dad met there so it was special for me... And they knocked the whole thing down lastmonth to make more room to sell caravans. So sad its all about making more money these days x

Ah I see you are already on here Andrea.x
Hunters Hall seems quite popular in Swanton Morley.
Drayton Old Lodge, Lenwade House Hotel, Wensum Valley...will try and think of some more.
CommentAuthorKath2010
Lynford Hall, that might be too far out.

CommentAuthorAndreaB82
thanks all I will have to rally my maid of honour and fo and visit some of them :-) Unfortunately my H2B is self employed and works over 70 hours a week so cant go and see them with me until I have short listed a few places. How are all your plans going then ladies? I have only just started planning as not set a proper date yet and other then starting a scrap book havent done anything else yet lol x
CommentAuthorAndreaB82
Just looked at Hunters Hall website and looks so pretty. Only about 25 mins from my house too! I think I will definately be viewing it :-)
CommentAuthorSaraC1
same as me then andrea weve not set a defnate date yet were trying to budget and working out a plan on how much its gonna cost and what we need to save :)
CommentAuthorLinzi-jo
Oh thats a shame about your h2b not being able to go venue hunting with you Andrea! I have not done much as my wedding is over 2 years away as yet! I have booked the church and venue, made some wine glass charms, and done the outside of my invites but that is it! lol xxx

CommentAuthorAndreaB82
lol Linzi-jo you have still done more then me :-D I have not done anything yet. Tried to stit down and work out a budget but we have a very large family and are self funding the wedding so it is all seeming quite daunting at the moment. have just heard from a close friend that they havebeen to hunters hall before and that it is quite small :-S
CommentAuthorLinzi-jo
Oh I haven't been there so I cant help sorry! And my h2b is greek so he has a huge family! But due to budget we are going to have to cut down the guest list a bit! It was hard but it had to be done! They will still be invited to the evening, and can come to the church for the ceremony if they want to, but we cant afford for them to be at the wedding breakfast too. I felt bad doing it but it was the only way we were going to be able to get married! If not we would have had to have saved for another 5 years! lol xx

CommentAuthorAndreaB82
Sara can I ask what venues you have looked at around these parts? You never know ladies maybe we could use this website for our additional benefit? If we found suppliers of things (disco etc) that we all thought looked good we could always ask for an additional discount for multiple bookings hahaha!! ;-D
CommentAuthorx~Hails~x
Has anyone looked at Knights hill hotel in kings lynn? Thats quite nice and you can have everything in one place

CommentAuthorAndreaB82
it does look nice just not sure if too expensive for me :-( We are on a very tight budget 9we have 7 kids between us and they absorb any spare money we have lol). BUT it does look stunning x
CommentAuthorSaraC1
andrea the places i listed are what weve looked at so far but over our budget :(
CommentAuthorSaraC1
im not sure what to do now to be honest wether to just say sod it have a registry office and then a huge party that every1 will love and then we can have as many guests as we like cause this is my 2nd wedding ( to the same guy lol dont ask! )
CommentAuthorAndreaB82
lol Its my 2nd wedding and my fiancee 2nd wedding too (both married the wrong people last time lol) but where as he had a 'proper' wedding last time i had a very basic registry office in lowestoft, the whole day wouldnt have been more then £500 and i had NONE of my family or friends, just about 5 people he know that i didnt. A really horrible wedding day so should have guessed the rest of the marriage would carry on that way! This time i want the real thing but obviously money is a great factor (as with all of us brides). I did suggest to H2B that we have a registry office and then a lovely party but he sad he wants me to have everything i didnt have before which is lovely of him, i just worry about the cost. I can see us saving for several years for this day and that would just be for a budget of about £5k. He is newly self employed so not taking a wage anywhere close to minimum wage yet :-(
Who knew this would all be so difficult lol!
CommentAuthorx~Hails~x
Its part of a chain (best western) so they do package deals hunni maybe worth asking what they can do for your budget? Or the prem inn do a package deal for £999
