Wotton House Dorking - A great venue

On Saturday I was working at Wotton House in Dorking. What a fabulous venue and ideal for a wedding or any formal occasion. As there website says 'As an atmospheric setting for your conference, event, or leisure break, the magnificent Wotton House is ideal. Set in 20 acres of spectacular grounds, it was once the 17th century family home of botanist, John Evelyn. Now thoughtfully renovated, this first-class venue is within easy reach of Gatwick Airport, London and Guildford.
The function I was officiating at was the Marcellians Lodge Ladies festival and after a drinks reception we sat down to a very good 3 course meal. After dinner we were entertained by The Briefcase Blues Band. The really were a great band and the dance floor was full all evening.
Another successful evening and a venue I can highly recommend

Reading Town Hall Wedding Fair

Today was the Reading Town Hall wedding Fair organised by Dream Wedding Fairs. I have not been to Reading Town Hall before and what an impressive venue. The Town hall is located in the heart of Reading and has a choice of rooms to suit both the size of your wedding and your budget. The Concert Hall can seat up to 250 people and for a large wedding and is an impressive room with a high ceiling and gallery. If you hold your Civil ceremony there there is a very large and unique organ that I am sure would provide an excellent location. The Waterhouse Chamber with its stunning lead glass windoows designed by Alfred Waterhouse provides another perfect setting for the more intimate occasion.

The wedding fair itself had a number of unique exhibitors and there are a couple I would recommend. the 1st is someone I have met before. Robert Bone is a Magician and demonstrator of Extra-Sensory Curiosities. Robert would be a great entertainer to have at a wedding or any formal function and I recommend you visit his website at http://www.robertbone.co.uk/. My 2nd recommendation would be Tailored for You. Run by Lynette Morrison they supply good quality suits for 'Mother's of the Bride'. Really approachable and with a state of the art body scanner which takes hundreds of measurements to ensure the perfect fit. Again visit there website at http://www.tfycollections.co.uk/ for more information.

Sindlesham Court as a wedding venue

Sindlesham Court is home to the Berkshire Masons but also is a venue for Weddings and other Formal and Coprporate events. Based In Sindlesham just outside Reading it is easily accessable from the M4. The is no overnight accomodation available but there are a nuimber of good hotels within a short taxi ride.

Being a regular visitor to Sindlesham for Lodge meetings I can see how this would be an ideal wedding venue and I understand that there are some really good prices for those on a tight budget.

The facilities are of a high standard and the food is always good. It might not be your 1st choice but it is certainly worth a visit. Have a look at the website at http://www.sindleshamcourt.com/ and ask for a brochure.
