Wedding venues
 

Looking for some ideas in Accrington and the surrounding areas. I don't really want the Dunk or Sparth House - just somewhere nice that can host a wedding meal + evening do.

Re: Wedding venues
 

higher trap at simonstone is a good place

Re: Wedding venues
 

the upstairs of jans conference hall is really nice - i had mine there...

esp once its done up

Re: Wedding venues
 

Calf,s Head at Worston, Nr Clitheroe is a nice place. Or hirer a club and have outside catering in. Suppose it depends how many guests there will be.

Re: Wedding venues
 

We are looking at about 25/30 for the meal and about 150 for the evening reception. So I suppose it could be a club, or even two separate venues. I just don't know where to start looking.:)

Re: Wedding venues
 

whittikers arms burnley rd., for the reception, king st, pub for the evening reception, i'll try to think of some more ok hope this helps.

Re: Wedding venues
 

Hmmmm...whitaker arms I do like. King St is a no no as my partners brother had his there and I wasn;t too keen on it. Thanks mez!

Re: Wedding venues
 

The Wellsprings in Pendle Hill is a nice place, it may be a little awkward to get to/from though but it's certainly worth considering, hope this helps!!

..Incidentally are you a Pixies fan?

Re: Wedding venues
 

LOL...no the nickname refers to my height more than anything else.

Thank you for all the suggestions so far. I should add we are**edit** NOT **edit** looking to spend a massive amount of money. Whilst I don't want a cheap and nasty wedding, it certainly doesn't have to be up to "Hello" standards.:D

Re: Wedding venues
 

a few more for yu that even do cival ceramanys ; mytton fold farm, millstone, foxfields, scaitcliffe hall todmorden, & the old hall todmorden.sorry spelling up spout this morn (must staart drinkin again )ha ha ha

Re: Wedding venues
 

Does anyone know what the pub near the whitakers arms is called and whats it like?

Re: Wedding venues
 

Whats it matter where the venue is? A good wedding bash is where all where all the wedding guests end up well oiled and could'nt care where they are...besides which, if there's a fight and the place gets thrashed you'll only have more money to pay.

I seem to recall a few years ago someone had their wedding do in the cafe in ASDA. They must have been pretty desperate.

Re: Wedding venues
 

Lettie and I can certainly vouch for the Whittakers Arms on Burnley Road. We have been there for our Sunday lunch for the last two weeks. The carvery at £6.95 per head is very good value for money, and is open to abuse as you can keep going back for more. :rolleyes:

We have been in the Whittakers Arms when wedding receptions have been in full swing. Why not try out the food on a Sunday and have a chat with the landlady. I think you will be impressed. :)

Another good point in favour of the Whittakers is the fact that they serve real beer, which i'm sure some of your guests would thank you for.

Re: Wedding venues
 

Yes, but did you have a fight?

Re: Wedding venues
 

Tealeaf I thought you said it does not matter where the do is????
Asda has loads of beer to fulfill your ideal day...



:)

Re: Wedding venues
 

No, most certainly not, Mr T, Sir.
When I have an opinion, Lettie tells it to me. :rolleyes:

Re: Wedding venues
 

Do the ASDA still have that idiot who acts as a greeter of sorts? You know, the old boy? It's just that I did'nt see him last time I was in there.....I saw Willow and Busman, though, and some characters up and down with a TV camera....maybe they'd come to film a wedding reception...."That's right, Sir..we've two on today...first one is by the Pizza stall and the second one, half an hour later, is down by the womens personal hygiene aisle....."

Re: Wedding venues
 

Fantastic idea Tealeaf. Instead of forking out for wedding favours, all my guests can go home with a black eye.:D

In the Whitakers is it a function room as such or just an area?

Re: Wedding venues
 

It is a function room which is off the side of the pub. i reckon it could easily seat 50 for a reception. :)

Re: Wedding venues
 

I'll certainly vouch for Whittakers. Paul and Sarah who run it are friends of mine. They took it over a couple of years back and turned the food bit around. The carvery is excellent and the atmosphere friendly. The other pub up from the Whittakers is the Griffin. There's a new landlord/lady there at the moment and I haven't been in since the change. It is smaller than Whittakers but my sister had her wedding do there a few years back, and they did a nice buffet. It was only a small family do though. :D

Re: Wedding venues
 

yes lettie i have to agree with you there it would be a nice place for you, night venue now there are various places, such as sydneyst, cannine, brookes clubs all have rooms for celebrations such as yours:o :eek: ops lettie i really dont mean you at all !

I remember this wedding it was early morning about 9am as the pubs didn't open till 11am they all went to Asda for a 99p breakfast, this story made the news of the world.

Hi

Have you considered a cricket club for your evening do?Church,Bacup and Haslingden all have nice big function rooms and would be very economical.

Re: Wedding venues
