Wedding reception venue


cella

Recommended Posts

Any ideas/recommendations for hiring a space in the Peckham/ED/Nunhead areas for a wedding reception around Easter next year? 80-100 guests and we'll be doing food, decorations etc ourselves. We are on a smallish budget so not looking for anything too extravagant! Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks.

We had our evening wedding reception upstairs at the EDT (East Dulwich Tavern) - used to be a members club that no one ever went to, now it's open for private functions. It's brill. And cheap. Open plan Victorian drawing room, atmospheric, they did food, we provided DJ's through the night, rip roaring fire in the corner and surrounded by candlelight. First wedding I'd been to that no one wanted to leave. Depends how fancy pants you want it.
I would speak to Phil at the Old Alleynian Rugby club on Dulwich common. Lots of space for a more "country" wedding and you can put up a marquis on the grounds and use the bar whilst being able to organise your own caterers, music etc if you wish. i have been to some great weddings there and in Easter the weatehr should be perfect for it.

Has anybody got pics of the constitutional club set up for a wedding? Any feedback?


We are looking at Belair house but it's had shocking reviews, any feedback on that?


Really need a decent venue for a wedding reception and want it to be local, or looking on to the Thames .


Have viewed many of those suggested on the posts above and elsewhere on the forum, most are too punchy on the price!


Thanks

Haven't been to a wedding at Belair but went to a party there at the beginning of the year - lovely venue and set up but a little girl had an anaphylatic reaction to some canap?s she ate. She had informed the manager of her allergies but the manager didn't realise that what she was serving was made up of the ingredients. After a hospital visit the little girl was fine but could have been a lot worse. Ruined the night of the my friend whose 40th Birthday it was as it was her little girl taken to A&E -

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
