London Wedding Venues – yes…I have Googled this… got plenty of options floating around but wondered if anyone had been to any sort of event in London with the ‘wow’ factor – that doesn’t cost the earth and also means we can bring our own booze – ideally with little or ...

So we are looking for a nice venue in North or North West London to hold a party which has a really big indoor space and a nice outdoor space to use if the weather is nice. Ally Pally is too expensive and unfortunately you cant use the outside at Kenwood house so we are back to the drawing board to look for somewher...

If, say, someone was planning a ball in the autumn, where would be a good venue? It needs to be interesting, worth dressing up to attend, a bit swanky and able to hold, and cater for, about 250 people. Preferably somewhere very central, and hopefully, that could be hired for nothing – the event is a charity ev...

Hi I’m getting married next year and it’s a nightmare trying to find a venue. I just want to find something similar to a local village hall, but in London. Somewhere that will let us sort out our own caterers / bring our own booze and not charge us a fortune for it. We’re happy to decorate ourselve...

Ok guys and girls… I need help. I have three, yes three weddings, to attend. My cousins next Saturday, my other cousins in December and my brothers in April.

Hi I’m looking to cut costs for my wedding and someone suggested getting flowers from New Covent Garden Market. Has anyone ever done this? Is it best to stay up all night and go when it opens at 3am or if I went at a more normal time (say 8am) would there be things left? Or else, any other suggestions of where...

I’m getting wed next year probably in a register office in London. However I’d like to get married in one that’s not a total dive and with luck has some rock and roll history. We’re having a register office do in Maida Vale so logically Marylebone Town Hall is best and closest, which does ...

I’m getting married in June (in Eastcote, west london), and since most of our friends tend to dress entirely in leather, I’m trying to find a DJ who can play plenty of rock music, interspersed with the usual 70s / 80s cheese that seems to be compulsory on these occasions. Googling for “DJ” ju...

My best mate is getting married in June and I’ve just received the invite. On the back of the reply card we’ve been asked to write any song requests for the DJ to ensure that we all get down and boogie. What songs would you ask for?

I’m going to a chinese-themed wedding in a couple of weeks, and it’s been suggested that traditional chinese gifts be given. Apparently, that means cold, hard cash, but in a special Lai Si envelope. The internet doesn’t seem to have any, so I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere in town whic...

Will we all be invited? (non-premium members to the evening disco only) Will John Lewis accept Kudos on their wedding list service? Will Paul & Pond wear matching sailor suits? Wouldn’t it be romantic to pop the question in this thread?

I need to set up a website/blog for wedding info and would welcome your personal recommendations on a good one to use. I’ve tried using blogspot but it annoyingly insists that any people who post comments are registered with google mail or at least a blogging ID. I can understand the reasons behind this bu...
