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 -

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
