we want to have a wedding reception in a nice location,could be a Hotel or someones garden.needs to be no more than 1hrs drive from montego bay where the church is.we cannot afford the posh hotels at all.maybe we could rent someones garden? needed for 5th dec 09 for no more than 100 people.

A friend and I (females) will be opening a photography business soon and are hoping to get a feel for what people think are catchy names. We will be specialising in Portraits and Wedding Photography and have been brainstorming names we thought of Exposed but any help would be GREAT!!!!!!
Our names are Lauren and Katrina

I’m looking for a party / wedding reception venue in Brighton that could hold 150 people standing (or less) and permits alcohol. The shindig takes places on Friday July 6th 2007.

I’m looking at sports clubs, pubs, small theaters, church halls, community centres – any suggestions?
Oh, and I’m looking at those kind of places as I want to avoid a hotel (expensive, no control, bit dull)

We are increasing our advertisements for our Wedding photography business and wondered where is the first place you would personally look for wedding photographers in the North West.

Would it be internet, newspaper, magazines etc

We don’t want a church wedding and we don’t want to marry in a registry office. We haven’t set a date yet because we haven’t found the right place for us. We saw a lovely venue last week, but it was far too expensive for what you were getting. (Effectively walls and ceiling for £4000)

Does anyone have any suggestions for venues as we’re struggling to find one that is suitable?

We’re looking at about 100 people, (The minimum we can get away with due to the size of our respective families).

We would consider travelling for about 30 – 45 mins if it was the right venue, but it needs to be near some hotels/B&B’s for family coming from different countries.

We would really welcome any suggestions.
Helen W – Yes that is where we went, to give it its due, if we could afford it we’d be there as soon as we could. I absolutely loved it. I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful wedding there.

I have actually had a look at these wedsites, they don’t really give a feel for the venues though, other than where they are. Having said that, we’ve gotten all our info from them, I guess I was kinda hoping for advice from personal experiance. I should be more specific in future.
We live in Havant, which is why we’re willing to travel, because there aren’t that many non-church venues nearby, and we don’t want to go to the Langstone Hotel.
