Update on the search for a venue
Posted on August 13, 2007 in the Wedding Venues category
After a few days of me moaning to Dave about looking for a suitable venue, we finally found time to sit down together and search for a venue. We narrowed it down to 6 so far.
Highbury Hall in Mosely, Birmingham
Himley Hall in Dudley
The Nash in Kempsey
The Elms in Worcester
Ettingham Park Hotel in Warwickshire
Billesley Manor in Warwickshire
Dave has composed a speadsheet which we’ve filled in with the distance from Worcester to the Venue and from the venue to Birmingham City Centre. We have also stated what we like about each place so its getting abit more technical now, not just pen and paper LOL.
I rang 3 venues on Friday to see if we could go and view the venues on tuesday as we’re going down to Birmingham that day anyway. I rang Highbury Hall and explained that I was looking for a suitable venue for our Civil Wedding and if it was possible to just have the ceremony without the reception. She told me that the venue is for exclusive hire use only. So that one is off the list.
I then decided to ring the ones that I liked the look of, so I rang Himley Hall and they said it would be possible to just have the Civil Ceremony there and that we can view the venue between 2-5 weekdays apart from Monday. Success!
I also rang Ettingham Park and Billesley Manor and made 2 appointments to go and view it on tuesday. I would be great if we could and view Himley Hall too but I think that would be too ambitious so we’ll leave that for another day unless I fall in love with one of the 2 other venues, then the search will be over.
Himley Hall - I can’t find a decent picture online so this will have to do
Ettingham Park
Billesley Manor
Billesley Manor - Dave wasn’t too keen on this venue until he saw this picture of the rounded shaped hedges LOL
