Affordable Wedding Venues in Northampton

Hi,

I'm getting married next year summer-time and the fiancee lives in Northampton so we are planning on holding it over there. I was hoping if anyone could advise me on some affordable venues in Northampton for guests up to 200 people. From what I saw, the only options are hotels or pubs and pubs are out of the question due to the religious nature of the wedding.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

  • Why not research whether Northampton County Council own any historic/old/big buildings suitable as a venue? Government owned buildings usually cost a lot less to hire. for example I found the Guildhall http://www.northampton.gov.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?documentID=862&pageNumber=4 "For Happy Couples who wish to hire the Great Hall, Court Room & Courtyard on the same date we have a fantastic offer rate of £125 per hour (Monday to Saturday only). This offer is exclusive to wedding reception bookings"

    Will you be getting married in a church or religious building before your party? What kind of reception are you wanting to have? all day or just afternoon or evening?

    The other options are community/village halls, some of which are lovely, but you'll have to hire caterers or DIY.
