Anon - how did you get to use the garden at Our Lady Star of the Sea? Particuarly if you were married at St Alfeges'?

Thanks so much - my email is lornaannefleming@gmail.com if you're able to help, as this sounds perfect!

We got married at St Alfege and had our reception in the beautiful garden of Our Lady Star of the Sea up the hill. It was quite a sight to see everyone walking up Crumbly Hill.

I see the Trafalgar Rowing Centre next door to the Trafalgar Tavern is currently being refurbished, stunning view on to the Thames and I have been to a party or two there and they seem pretty relaxed / flexible about outside catering.

Charlton house is stretching it to walk to from Greenwich but they do let you do exactley as you please. You can use whatever supplier you want, supply your own booze without corkage, do what you want with dj and lights, etc etc. Having looked at all the options this offers the most flexibility. Have a look, it is much prettier than I imagined.

You can get married in the bandstand at Greenwich Park - I saw a wedding there a few years back.

We had our wedding at StAlfege and then walked through the town and college with the full wedding party to the Trafalgar Tavern. We did bring our own vicar though as StAlfege is quite high church and not everyones cup of tea. The Trafalgar was quite a revelation, reasonable value and the food was much better than expected, in fact it was much better than when we went there for a tasting.
My tip of the week though would be that you can contact Trinity music college and they have a list of music students who can do performances for a reasonable fee, we had a pianist playing for a couple of hours at the beginning of our reception and it was about the cheapest thing on the day.

A number of couples who I've spoken to are having their reception in the Trafalgar Tavern and one is using The Guildford in Guildford Grove, which may work for you.

I wonder if you could rent out The Covered Market of an evening and get one of the pubs to serve the refreshments?
I am looking at venues for an event in the new year and I must say it has become a bit of an insoluble conumdrum.
Congrats , by the way, (those boys do dither sometimes)

"It would be a tough bird indeed that would happily rack up wedding planners and play them off against each other to get the best deal."

Frankly, given the way these people do everything conceivable to get money out of you, and the amount of control freakery, I wouldn't hesitate to play them off against each other in the expectation of getting a better deal. If that makes me a cold-eyed bastard fair enough......
