louisa Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hello All, I am getting married next July and really need to find a reception venue ! We really want one with outside space and prefeably one that will either do a BBQ for us or allow us to bring in an outside catering company. We are getting married at the botancial gardens so ideally it would be round the eccleshall/nether edge/greystones area but will go further if we find the right place !! Any ideas ???

fluffystuff Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Have you thought about the Dam House. Its not too far from the Botanical Gardens and has a great view over Crookesmoor Park. They are also flexible about food and will do a barbecue. I had my reception there in 2007 and would recommend them:thumbsup: http://www.dam-house.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazpa Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 My daughters reception was at Dam House last November and it was great, reasonable prices, great staff, lovely food and they allowed us to put fairy lights and patio heaters etc outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have an outdoor area with seating, I'm sure if you aksed they may provide outdoor food? Also I think Kenwood hall (former marriot) may do you this?

joannapiano Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I went to Dam House for Mother's day very average. Service poor the place was dirty a lot of things let them down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikj Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Also getting married at Botanicals and wanted the same thing. We approached Menzels first as they have the courtyard bit and its walkable (apparently they do a hog roast/bbq and are fine with outside catering) but they could only give us exclusive hire up to 10pm as it was a friday. We have gone with the Wig and Pen now - courtyard bit outside but not sure if that would be outsidey enuf for you! Its such a shame the botanicals doesn't have a reception area too, they would rake it in!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisa Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks everyone ! We did consider the Dam house as the outside space is perfect but the inside isn't should the weather be typically british and peeing it down. Also when i took my hubby to be there for lunch to check it out he had to send his food back so now has no-no'd it ! Can't blame him i guess. Went to the kenwood last week, bit over priced really for what you got and the room that we would be allowed if doing the BBQ thing was tiny ! The search continues, going to make a few appointments for this weekend I think !! Oh and the botanical gardens are having one 1 trial reception this year to see how they go with complaints from local residents/damage to the gardens etc. But i think it may be too late to wait and see if that means they will allow them in the future, can't believe how early things get booked up i always thought it was myth !!
