Wedding reception

[Lynne]

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced place for a informal wedding reception locally?

You could try the Dulwich Constitutional Club on East Dulwich Grove about 100 metres up from the Bishop. Hall, bar and large garden. Lovely spot in the summer. http://www.dulwichclub.co.uk/

I think the lido cafe in Herne hill might host wedding receptions...http://www.thelidocafe.co.uk/events/

Devonshire Road Nature Reserve https://www.lewisham.gov.uk/inmyarea/openspaces/nature-reserves/Pages/devonshire-road-nature-reserve.aspx

Sydenham Garden https://www.sydenhamgarden.org.uk/supporting-us/hire-a-venue/

Both obviously better in the warmer months

Dulwich College - pavillion and Trevor Baylis surprisingly affordable

Have used all three. PM me for my further views.

If you want informal and flexible we liked the Constitutional Club. Fair price and they let you come in before to put your own decorations up.

Thanks very much. all of you. I'd wondered about the Constitutional Club

Smcc cricket pavilion do hirings - very reasonable, lovely setting outside (pavilion itself a bit run down but decent bar area)

Smcc? sorry for being a bit dense here.

I had my wedding reception upstairs at EDT. No venue hire fee and it cost just over a grand to cater for 100 people (not including booze).

Ivy House ballroom?

Fantastic stage with gold lame and velvet curtains, PA already there for live music or DJ, community owned pub, child and dog friendly, lovely staff!

ETA: You can decorate the room how you want, but it's lovely as it is :)
