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 -

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
