Where to have a wedding reception in East Dulwich?

Recommended Posts

I got engaged over Christmas and am looking for somewhere to have our wedding reception!


We have our own DJ, the only requirement is that we can have some food (a buffet is fine) for about 40 people, and that we can have our first dance.


I'm a student nurse so we really do not have a big budget, it would need to come in under ?1000 (which is the absolute limit).


Help! It is all boggling my mind.

Don't think so, not sure. If you speak to the lady in the Irish shop next door, she knows the booking information for the hall. The hall is connected to the Thomas More Church, by the library. They have classes at the hall, and I know there have been recent events at the hall. I have fond memories of the hall, and spent many a night dancing to the Irish bands. >:D

Le Chandelier can be hired for parties and wedding receptions. I had my 40th Birthday party there and was really happy with everything.

The food was amazing (Buffet) and I couldn't fault the service.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Hi there and congratulations!


We're also looking for wedding venues, even though we're not getting married until 2014, we're forward planning and saving! (wages are no better once you have qualified as a nurse, believe me!)

Have just spotted a lovely looking pub in Herne Hill, the Prince Regent. I know it's not Lordship Lane or quite East Dulwich but it looks lovely and is not too far away. Think we will be going to take a look :0)

Hi, We got married at Beauberry House in Gallery Road near the Dulwich Picture Library recently. It's very reasonable and you can have use of the entire premises. We had the reception upstairs then dinner downstairs. The restaurant holds 60 people. Then back upstairs into another room for music. You can bring your own DJ. Rates very good, food excellent.

Beauberry house looks lovely, I want to get married there, not sure about the cost though?


have you tried the East Dulwich Tavern (EDT)? They've got a large area above the pub - The Lodge.


Re The Prince Regent... ahh how I miss that pub (we used to live round the corner from it), that might be a good option, my boyfriend had his 30th there in the upstairs rooms and it's close to Brixton and Herne Hill so good for transport for people coming to and from your reception.


Let us know how you get on!

P.S. congratulations!

You could try The Roebuck on Great Dover St. I hired the upstairs room for my 40th. You have to put down a deposit of ?50 but you get this back if they make ?300 or over at the bar on the night. I had my own DJ etc and we bought drinks and bar food there. Everything went tickety boo on the night. The room itself is lovely: large, self-contained, chandelier . . . depends how many guests you've got coming, I 'spose but made for an inexpensive and pleasant night. Congrats and have fun!

Yes, I think your spammy post about venues in California will be really useful to the OP.


Nothing else to add except that I second some of the pubs - I work in the wedding industry and love a good pub wedding.

    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant. 
    • Sadly, the price we now all pay for becoming a soft apologetic society.
    • Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back; they were after my Brompton. Luckily there were only 3 of them so I managed to get away and got a woman to call the police, then they backed off, but not after having hit me in the back of the head first. Police said next time just give them what they want, but I sure as hell wasn't just going to hand over my bike to them!
    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
