\"villageWhat springs to mind when someone mentions the words \u2018village hall\u2019?
If, (like me) you have a vision of Boy Scouts, nativity plays and WI meetings with a faint smell of cabbage<\/strong>\u2026 then you would be mistaken!<\/p>

Village halls have moved with the times and although SOME still have flat roofs and a tired wooden cladding on the outside, with the advent of lottery funding, many of them are brand new, very modern and attractive<\/strong> and exceedingly versatile spaces<\/strong>.<\/p>

So, leave your village hall hang-ups at the start of this, and let\u2019s explore celebrating your big day at one of these venues.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The obvious one. It\u2019s much cheaper to hire a village hall<\/strong> than it is to hire a commercial venue or a hotel. In fact, it could save you upwards of \u00a35,000<\/strong> on the venue hire alone \u2013 think of the food and drink you could supply for that! You will also save money on other aspects; no \u00a315 corkage fee for the staff to open each bottle of YOUR wine, and no \u00a325 corkage fee for the staff to open your champagne (because champagne is obviously much more difficult to open!?)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

By choosing an \u2018independent venue\u2019<\/strong> such as a village hall, you can choose who you would like to cook your food, where you buy your wine from and what DJ you\u2019d like to use. Village halls don\u2019t tie you into any packages, which makes your day much more flexible and personal.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Most village halls are kitted out with toilets, kitchens, electricity, water, parking, furniture and a large enough space to accommodate the average number of wedding guests. Again, no need to spend your precious cash on fundamentals \u2013 spend it instead on nice stuff \u2013 like the catering!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\"\"Because village halls are usually plainly decorated inside, it gives you the opportunity to theme it any way you\u2019d like. There are some fantastic companies who can line the hall to look like the inside of a marquee, and the blank canvas lends itself well to pretty much any themed wedding imaginable. We have seen a bride and groom successfully organise an airport themed wedding in a village hall\u2026 and it looked superb!<\/p>
