They are often very cheap to hire. A close second then is ease; they always have toilets, furniture and parking \u2013 some even have commercial kitchens for your caterer to use, or if not a committee room can often be adapted easily with tables and mobile turbo ovens to create a \u2018commercial\u2019 kitchen able to supply fabulous food to all your guests\u2026 having all these facilities on site also makes them even cheaper of course.<\/p><p>If the interior is a little lacking in atmosphere, you can hire a venue dresser to line the entire space and transform it into what looks like the inside of a marquee (or a Bedouin tent!). We once did a wedding in a church hall and the couple used Brian Ferry\u2019s set designer to make the place look like a hi-tech club with video screens and the whole thing.<\/p><p>Finding a village hall is easier than it used to be with the useful little website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hallshire.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\"><strong>www.hallshire.com<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and for everything else there\u2019s the specialist resources website at <a href=\"http:\/\/independent-weddings.co.uk\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\"><strong>www.independent-weddings.co.uk<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>\u2013 which also lists village halls that really work for weddings in the West Midlands, as well as venue dressers who know how to transform your venue.<\/p><p>Going down the village hall route for your wedding will save you stress \u2013 \u2013 and all the money you would otherwise have to spend on essentials means you have precious resources to put instead into things that are a little more important to you, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/kempandkempcatering.co.uk\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\"><strong>wedding food<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, flowers or your honeymoon.<\/p><p>A great example of the type of hall we mean is Whiston Village Hall.
