    What is your budget? How many people is it for? What do you want (e.g sit down/buffet?)

    Oh thank you!!

    ok the 'plan' is to marry as late as possible and then have bacon/sausage/quorn cobs for about 30-40 people then have a buffett up to 100 with drinking and dancing its got to be less than £1000 all in.

    Thank you for your reply

    Hi!

    Don't know if this is quite the right area for you, but we're having our reception at Nottingham Rowing Club (search for link - it wouldn't let me post it) then bringing in outside caterers. It's very close to West Bridgford registry office. :)
  • rowing club! never even thought of that!! Thank you!!

    That's OK, the room is really lovely and has a separate bar area and overlooks the Trent and Trent Bridge. Also, if you're willing to have it on a day other than a Saturday the room hire is cheaper (and their corkage charge is very reasonable ;))

    Oh, and if you want a recommendation for a caterer lmk - ours is fab!

    Sorry - just noticed this! It's Tom, !!!!!! and Harriets in Mansfield - they have a couple of deli shops but do catering and their catering menus are on their website to download. Hope to help!
