WEDDINGS AT HERRISON HALL
Weddings and Wedding Receptions at Herrison Hall can be as formal or informal as you like.
At Herrison Hall, the emphasis is on you and your choice. If you want to provide all the food, drink and entertainment, you may or you can have a Catering Company to provide the food, a professional Bar to serve the drink or a Wedding Planner to set out the tables with their best linen, chair covers and cutlery.
It is your wedding – you choose.
We have hosted Wedding Receptions where the family have provided all the food, including the cake, all the drink, and made all the little notices and place cards on the computer at home. Others have had Wedding Planners who laid out the tables and fitted lined covers to them, rigged coloured lights and table decoration, one couple had a String Quartet to play before and during the meal, and there have been several Hog Roasts in the paved area to the rear of the Hall.
We can supply names of Caterers, Professional Bars, Wedding Planners etc. that other couples have used and found very satisfactory. There is a list of these under the BOOKINGS tab on our website under SUPPLIERS. We do not take any responsibility or have any financial connection for services hired from this list of suggested companies.
Obviously wedding receptions and smart occasions deserve smarter cutlery and crockery which your caterer can supply but we there is cutlery and crockery of Village Hall standard available at the hall and is included in the hiring fee.
Clients should ensure that they allow sufficient time in their booking to set out the hall and other rooms as they wish. Clients are respectfully reminded that all rooms should be returned to the state and layout as they are found.
