Heya i was looking forward to a summer wedding getting married in the warm sunshine but had to move the date to the end of the year- DECEMBER!!!I was soo upset however i have now warmed to the idea like the thought of singing christmas carols and the warmth of christmas time however in terms of a location i have NOO idea where would be good...Im looking for a reception venue OR a venue to have the entire wedding that is very picturesque and good for the winter theme which doesnt break the bank as our budget is 7grand we are flexible in terms of location any reccomendations?? PLEAASSE help!!!Thanx!!!

CommentAuthorjellytot
did u get the dates off the website? 'cause they have more than whats stated. we arent having exclusive use, just the room hire and a hog roast for 100 people. i think the prices are very good. its a lovely place x
CommentAuthorms_sunshine
Yes we got the dates off the website ok i dont know much about all this wedding stuff!!Is it alot cheaper if you dont have exclusive use of the venue??We found a place in essex its beautiful but its like a little over 10 grand with the charge for exclusive use etc im going to try and check if we could see how much it would be without exclusive use..i will give rowton a call then too thanx soo much for ur help!!What kind of wedding are you having??

Not sure what venues are in your area as Im in North East but google some local wedding venues, even google image the places that take your fancy to see ranges of pictures - a lot have people's photos from outside :-)

Im having a december wedding! i cant wait. I was the same as u, was originally getting married in the summer, so had a butterfly amd fushia pink theme chosen. Well im keeping my theme but having silver aswell to tie in with winter. Im getting married in a beautiful little white church smack bang in the middle of the country side! Im hoping for a bit of snow but not too much as my reception venue is a 20min drive from the church so wanna be able to get there, lol

Awww I hope it snows a bit for all you winter wedding people, would look gorgeous in the pics - but fingers crossed it's isn't slow like we had this winter CRIKEY!
CommentAuthorms_sunshine
LOL that is soo funny i was doing the fuschia pink theme too and today i decided to do fushchia and grey to the mix as its more christmassy!!So glad my dress is a huge princess style dress too so can work for any season!!Im just desperate to be in a beautiful countryside location as london is NOT pretty in the winter!!Yep!!WOuldnt mind abit of snow too that will look amazing for the pix!!
CommentAuthorjellytot
yeh they have lots more dates, give them a call :) we didnt want exclusive use as we didnt feel we needed the whole castle to ourselves. our guests are taking up most of the rooms so there wont really be anyone else there on the day anway. i am having the ceremony at my registry office but the reception at rowton. we only have a budget of £3000, but if it was more id have everything there lol. our weddings very informal, having 100 guests with the hog roast, a dj and the bar.x
CommentAuthorms_sunshine
i think it makes it all the more special with all your guests taking up most of the rooms like you say your all probably taking up the whole castle anyway and the cost is still kept to a minimum thas fab!!We wanna keep the prices down too as we may wanna try and squeeze a honeymoon out of our wedding budget too!!i cant wait for tommorow so i can start making some more enquiries!!i never seem to find anywhere worth calling in the morning!!Its always after closing hours ;-( lol gosh i cant wait to just get somewhere booked!!

My gut instinct about my wedding was 'it will be in the winter' ... but, we plumped for the end of September to mark my deceased grandparents 74th wedding anniversary...
December weddings are grand..especially with all the decoration virtually done for you already!!
