As some of you already know Me and Mrs Roy E6 are getting married, woohoo so I need a venue. So in true SAS tradition it will go something like this: Get married, eat burger, and drink lots of beer.drinkbeerdrunk

However, we're also looking for somewhere we can gather all our friends and family for a weekend of celebration.party We need somewhere we can erect marquees, have a bouncy castle, get the DJ/live band in (do the Lettuceheads do weddings?) and, most importantly have a big hog roast/BBQ. The idea is to have a location people can stay for the whole weekend, as opposed to just one day. This could be a campsite or more formal accommodation/something close by.

We're not looking for formality - we want a relaxed and fun weekend. Any help/ideas/inspiration gratefully received biggrin

Cheers Roy.

Huge congratulations to you both!! beer

I got engaged a few weeks ago too! Not come across any venues similar to what you're after yet but i'm sure there must be something decent local. If you're after something for the whole weekend then you may struggle with places traditionally selling themselves as wedding venues as they'll split the weekend in two.
What about looking for a decent campsite that you could book an entire field out? I can arrange a little hovercraft to play with if so smile - Just thinking ahead to the obvious need for some petrol fuelled entertainment hehe

Thank you kind sir, and a Huge congratulations to you both as well!! beer Yep have thought about the campsite idea scratchchin But thought that not everyone will want to camp, even found somewhere with pre-erected tents!

ETA hovercraft sounds like fun!

I understand Glastonbury do such a function. Lots of gate crashers though.

Sorry, pretty stupid comment. But congratulations Roy !!

Congratulations Roy and Sally, well done. I think you should take on Sally's surname!!
I'm sure the SAS lads will be happy to provide a guard of honour, what time do you want us to arrive at the reception? hehe

Congratulations!
I think a weekend camping out with friends, food and beer sounds a wonderful way to start married life. Loads of people camped over for Charlies 30th and had a great time. I'm sure those of a more delicate disposition would be quite happy to find a local b&b so that they could still help you celebrate. As for the mini hovercraft, fantastic idea!

Thank you all and congrats as well Dave! Loving the hovercraft idea - that's what I've got in mind - a kind of extended bbq with as many things to entertain as possible. And of course you can provide the guard of honour Dave!

Aldermaston Manor. I've been to several here and I'm considering it for my daughters 18th. 10 minutes from junction 12 of the M4. Beautiful place.

The Olde Bell in Hurley. Lovely outdoor space + old english pub charm... updated to be a lot fancier inside (especially the bedrooms). The Tithe Barn looks great inside too, and I guess could be a good inside venue as it has a bar/ gallery joined to one side.

I went there for a work conference recently, and rate the food and Guinness winkbiggrin

We've done loads an loadsa weddings, but venues we've played in SAS area with The Lettuceheads from memory are:

Coltsford Mill - Oxsted,
Bix Manor - Henley
Great Fosters - Egham
Loseley House - Guildford
Silvermere Golf Club - Cobham
Oak Farm - Croydon

Can't remember much about any of them, but it sounds like you may want a bit more of an informal event...
