Venue in Bristol/Wiltshire - help!

cm2011

Hi, we are looking for a venue in the Wiltshire/Bristol area, we have looked at some but have had to cut our budget and now want the reception to come in at between £3000-£4000. We are not that bothered about a sit down meal if that cuts costs.
Anyone with any suggestions please help!!

I went to my friends wedding here recently and it was absolutely stunnin. I don't know what the price is like but the day was amazing. It's in Keynsham, so I dont know if that is a good area for you. I dont know the area and we managed to find it really easily

Hi CM - how many people are you looking at? Where are you getting married? or are you looking for a venue that will do all?

Hi Dizzie,

We are getting married in a church, so need somewhere to have the afternoon bit - either a sit down traditional meal or a more informal buffet, and then a evening party. We will probably have about 75 guests, about 45 for the afternoon.

ok - where is the chuch then? won't want to travel miles from the church to the reception bit.

Tortworth Court is meant to be superb. No idea of cost however.

Have you looked at Goldney Hall in Clifton? They have a shell lined grotto you can pay to have open for an hour as well.

A girl I worked with looked here http://www.beeses.co.uk/ she said it was lovely, I've not had chance to go yet, am just waiting for it to open again this spring.

We got married up north in the end, but if we'd got married in Bristol I desperately wanted to have my reception here http://www.bristol.ac.uk/conferences/weddings/victoria/ just for the sake of having wonderful outdoor photographs. In fact the University have quite a few function rooms and as far as I remember around your budget too (when we looked Jan 2009)

Thanks for the suggestions, however we would probably be looking at closer to the Wiltshire side of Bristol, i.e close to Malmesbury or Chippenham if possible. I'm really struggling to find anything within our budget!!
