I viewed Thames 4-Pillars for my day but on my second look I found some of the rooms to be a bit tatty (it was a little while ago though) - I was advised by someone to always have two viewings so you don't miss anything. Although I have been to Xmas parties and other events there and couldn't complain. The walled garden was nice and you used to be able to get married on a boat....although that might have changed now!

If you wanted a more DIY style venue, try Lains Barn [www.guidesforbrides.co.uk] they used to offer outside catering.

What sort of venue are you looking for Tilly?

Thanks a million

Just seen your post ......I'm getting married in November and we are still confiming what venue we want!!!
Trouble is there are some good deals to be had so there are some good choices out there!

Anyway - I like Oxford Thames Four Pillars, ive been to some work xmas parties there and a wedding and the venue itself is nice enough and the staff seem helpful. The food is good - but not sure if you can use outside caterers or not - prob not!! - worth a thought though.
It's a good venue for the whole packadge as you can have ceremony, reception, party and guests can stay there.

We want a venue with more DIY attitude only because we are thinking of hog roast and evening ceremony and party and I have a freind who can do the food!!

Thats all ive got for now]]> MelBel Wedding ChatTue, 15 May 2012 12:09:52 +0100 http://www.guidesforbrides.co.uk/forum/read.php?3,2624,2680#msg-2680 Re: Witney Weddinghttp://www.guidesforbrides.co.uk/forum/read.php?3,2624,2680#msg-2680

I am getting married in January so we def are
starting no later than 130 pm to get some light!

I guess it depends on how much time you are
happy for guests to stand around between ceremony
& starting dinner. I have found it to be a very nice part of the day
but def think having sufficient canapés or snacks are needed
if drinks are 1 1/2 -2hrs plus . . We went to a wedding where it started
at 12 - 1 church ceromony and we did not have any canapes .. dinner was not until 5 and we were
starving!!! Other weddings kept drinks and canapés for 2hrs and it was fun!

One thing we cant decide is the time of the wedding. We have currently booked it for 2pm but since we are getting married in October we were thinking it might be nice to have more time before we eat to enjoy the daylight and so are thinking of moving it to 1.30. What time are you girls having your wedding?

Thanks

Been a bit busy lately with work so no time for wedding plans...

MrsBlake2b we have tried out Crown and we have an appointment with Strawberry fields in June. I think the other two are both further out of our price range.

MrsMiller2b I like the idea of having family and friends do some things and I want to do quite a bit myself in terms of the table decs and favors and also the other decoration for the barn.

We are trying to decide on our band, found a really good one that we like but they are pretty expensive so still looking around.

Hope everyone's plans are coming along nicely.

I always find the break between sets is much needed for guests to have a break from dancing, and the fact that a lot of people leave the dance floor when it swaps from live music to DJ shows how popular the live sets are.]]> Jan22 Wedding ChatWed, 09 May 2012 09:48:32 +0100 http://www.guidesforbrides.co.uk/forum/read.php?3,2302,2663#msg-2663 Re: Photographerhttp://www.guidesforbrides.co.uk/forum/read.php?3,2302,2663#msg-2663
I don't think you are missing anything, I think they are just being cheeky and trying to advertise on the forum instead of in the suppliers directory. Do look under photographers in Bedfordshire though; there are a number of wedding professionals there, including me, and we would be pleased to assist you.

I'm getting married at Kingscote Barn on 21st December this year! We booked it back in 2010...and the time is flying by! I still have lots to organise!

We've booked the caterers (Crown Catering) and photographer (Stewart Clarke Photography)...i've got my dress sorted..DJ/Music for the evening booked (Bonehead/FirstDance Discos)..and thats it so far!

Sort of getting there with the cake and flowers (possibly having family friends do them!)

How is everyone else getting on? anyone else out there getting married at Kingscote in December?

Hope everyones plans are coming along well :-)]]> MrsMiller2b Wedding ChatSat, 05 May 2012 19:07:10 +0100 http://www.guidesforbrides.co.uk/forum/read.php?3,2624,2649#msg-2649 Re: Witney Weddinghttp://www.guidesforbrides.co.uk/forum/read.php?3,2624,2649#msg-2649
