Cheap but nice Reception Venue in South Yorkshire / Derbyshire...

HELP...is there such a thing?

Plans are to get married early 2011, however we're having difficulty finding a nice but cheap wedding venue. We've looked at all sorts of gorgeous manor hotels / hotels, which range in price from 3-5k for the packages we want. Our budget for the whole wedding is about 4-5k but cheaper would be better :j We don't really want the reception in a town hall or pub function room but the hotels we've been looking at are a bit too steep for us so I guess we're after a sort of middle ground. Possibly a nice classy place, with good grounds where you can do your own catering. But right now it appears no such place exists!

So yeah, we're in South Yorkshire and we're looking to invite 60 guests for the breakfast and 100 for evening do.

Any suggestions guys?

Barcelo Hotel in Buxton was lovely but I'm not sure if that is too far?

I believe Hatfields pub and the Regent Hotel both do reasonably priced packages - both in Doncaster.

Also castle park are quite reasonable as it was one of our venue choices at first - again in Doncaster

I'm using Mosborough Hall for a works function, good value and helpful and it's a lovely setting.
