Question Wedding venues

[LCBB72]

I did the old fashioned wedding the first time (1982) local Church, Great Burstead , then reception and evening in the local hall.

21 years later the 2nd one was at Southchurch Hall, followed by the Roslin and then a evening at the Cliffs.

My Daughter gets married in September, at the Roslin .

Second time around , you really believed in keeping on the move .

FYI, my wife and I discussed, (briefly), the possibility of getting married in church,back in the 80's, as she's notionally a Catholic.It was always a non-starter, as far as I was concerned.

As a life-long atheist,I'm quite happy to carry my anti-religious "burden." Can't say I'm a satinist or I was ever abused by "members of the cloth" but too many Sunday mornings at St Clement's Leigh certainly took their toll.
I'm sure Cricko would agree.:winking:

Now I've got a mental picture of you being abused by the the local vicar.:omg:

A big shout from Mrs SBH and I for Leez Priory where we got married. Obviously it was the best day of her life for so many reasons as I'm quite the catch, but the venue is incredible and the weather was so great we were able to have an 'outdoor' wedding. If you're after that manor house/castle type wedding, it's perfect and you'll also have the whole place to yourselves. Just a few miles away from Chelmsford.

Gets my vote too myself and Mrs Ricey got married there. Beautiful venue so many options to choose from within the place as where to get married and so easy to sort everything. Relatively stress free for my wife when organising. All our guests said its one of the best venues they've been too and a really nice wedding too.

Nope, that has been a mosque for at least 10 years but St Mary's is still in business.
When Danny O'Shea had Bar Vic they did a reasonable wedding reception/disco but that also has gone I believe.

Lol, it does look that way ..

Southchurch hall was small so the Roslin suited for the meal, Cliffs seemed a good place for the evening bash, these all in one place events have only really come to the fore in the past 10 years or so, The Roslin didn't have a license back then .

Great to hear, spoken to Linda who is currently the events organiser there over the phone earlier and she seemed lovely and was keen to meet us both (as she would be she is after our money after all) but seemed very open to doing exactly what we want and how we want and incorporating whatever we want into our day which is nice, going to have a look round week after next so should be fun.

Sounds like my dream day, unfortunately unless we went on don't tell the bride I think that's a solid NO

If you do decide to get married at Leez and use one of their photographers Neal Houghton did ours. His photos were excellent and our album he did is stunning.

B&L doesn't have any facilities now, it's all taken up by offices and gym! That's why, at MTBD, there's a mobile bar outside in a tent.
