Hi guys,

Looking to get married hopefully next year if i can, however me and my girlfriend are in a bit of a dilemma as to where to have the reception.

We are looking in the Herne Bay, Canterbury, Whitstable area, however we are on a rather strict budget. Most of the places we have looked at are around the 5-7k mark. We are looking at around £3k if we can.

I have thought about hiring out a pub for the day for example the Rose in Bloom in Whitstable (been to a wedding reception their before and loved it), however i am really looking for some suggestions if anyone can help - it would be greatly appreciated?

thanks

    There’s a place near Margate my niece used a couple of years ago, very nice ( although they had just one bottle of ale behind the bar). I’ll ask her what it’s called and get back to you.

    Try Judd's Folly in Faversham. My daughter got married there in July for around about the figure you're looking for.

    Has about 25 rooms for guests and you can take over the whole place.
    *Edit - and the staff were excellent.

    Had the whole day @ Charlton House... I know its not exactly in the Herne Bay / Canterbury area but paid around £1k for the venue hire (Ceremony and Reception) yet that was for a weeknight... Weekend did get more expensive but you got the venue for longer.

    Congratulations on getting engaged (If you have already done so)

    The Marine is sound, depends what you are after in terms of numbers, catering etc but The Plough in Swalecliffe has a good function room and large car park, pretty good value from what I've heard, Boughton Golf Club as a larger venue good too.

    My father-in-law had his 70th there and the in-laws had their 50th Anniversary there and both occasions were very good.

    Try looking at the two places in pegwell bay. One is the pegwell bay hotel, not sure of the other but both stunning venues.

    The Minnis Bay Bar and Brassiere, it’s just been done up and has a lovely function hall above the pub. Fantastic views and sunsets. Great place for a wedding reception.

    Mrs is a hair and makeup artist. She would do your wife to be a very very good deal  as she makes the transition from doing mainly destination weddings to getting more weddings in the UK.

    He asked this question in October 2017 for the following year, so i'm guessing he is well married by now.

    Yeah saw that but must take any opportunity to plug my business and website where I can.
    I'm generally crap at marketing and I'm trying to get better.

    Or he made the sensible decision to go to Vegas instead and so spend the money on Booze and Women, wasting the rest
