I unequivocally recommend Marc and his event space. He was beyond helpful, thoughtful and accommodating. He truly went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed for our event- I was blown away. I often plan parties/events, and it was the single best experience I have ever had with a space rental. (I even planned this event from another country, and it was still the most convenient and seamless experience I have had!!) The location was perfect, and he has everything you need onsite to create a perfect gathering. The decor and ambience is beautiful, and all the guests enjoyed being there immensely.

Carly was exceptional to work with. Such a great person. Easy to communicate with. She always answered my questions with a quick response. Her place IS exactly what the pictures show and more. I would highly recommend her place, not just for photoshoot, but even small events. There were some other corners and gems in the loft that we thought of shooting by, but time and creativity held us back. Definitely a must of places to rent on your list. Overall great experience. Thanks Carly!

How to Plan a Wedding Reception in Bristol

Couples seeking the perfect venue, like a waterfront event space or formal ballroom, with breathtaking views to boot, might worry that the party planning process is going to be overwhelming. Don't stress! Here are some tips to help you out.

Book a Creative Location – Whether it's a mansion house with vibrant history, a rustic barn, or a historic wedding venue situated on the water, you've got tons of unique venue options on Giggster's 45 wedding reception listings. Think outside the box so you find a unique setting that makes your wedding day unforgettable.

Go Landmark Crazy – Since Bristol has so many beautiful sights, you want to be close to them so you can view them from the venue or explore them easily before your party, like the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Clifton Village, the Thornbury Golf Centre, Bristol Zoo, and Avon Gorge Hotel du Vin. There are tons to inspire your wedding theme!

How to Save Money on Your Wedding Reception in Bristol

Maybe you've already started saving money by having a civil ceremony or choosing an affordable main hall venue for your big day. What other ways can you save cash while ensuring your Bristol wedding is unforgettable?

Have a brunch wedding.

We all know that amazing food is one of the most important elements of a wedding, so you want it to be good! Focus on planning a delicious brunch menu because this meal of the day is much more affordable than dinner.

Skip floral centrepieces.

You don't need a huge events team to help you plan your wedding decor. Do some DIY! Switch those expensive floral centrepieces that are meant to go on every table with other items, like candles, mini potted plants, or even books.

Have a separate cake for cutting.

Your wedding cake can be expensive! It can help to have a display cake for cutting and a more affordable "hidden secret" sheet cake for serving your guests. You can also use the display cake for all your wedding photos.

Get your guests in on the photography.

You don't have to hire a professional (and expensive) photographer. Consider asking guests to take their own photos of the celebrations and upload them to a shared Google Drive folder so you have unique and fun snaps to mark the special occasion.
