Hi everyone. I am trying to find somewhere for my evening reception. I have booked The Cutler (not cutlers hotel) this is only a pub in town but at £3 per head and free room it's about all we can afford. I have started a thread on advise about what the pub is like and I'm scared as people are saying it's not a place to have a wedding reception. I'm really upset now and having second thoughts. The thing is I don't know where else to go. We can't afford alot but wondered if anyone could help.

I'm really upset and on the brink of :cry:

Please :help:

awww hun have you been and seen the place? tried the food ect? if so and you like it, so what? if not, why not go and see? it might be that its not considered 'posh', if thats the case then what about looking at decorating the room, maybe hiring seat covers ect,or getting clever with table decs, candles ect.
at the end of the day, people are coming to see you on your special day, and to celebrate, not to fret if the seats dont match ect.
plus, i'm guessing drinks will be a lot cheaper than a hotel, if i was a guest i'd be very happy at that!

havnt been in but seen the images on website looks ok to me
free function room for up to 400 city centre not a bad deal.
dont listen to other people go have a look .

If you mean the room above the Cutler, then its called STARDUST (or used to be)

It is a very large room with revolving dance floor.
The food for a buffet is fantastic
BUT

there is or used to be a problem with the lager there (tasted funny like the lines not cleaned properly) and the fridges and optics are poorly stocked.

if it was my wedding then i would really be looking elsewhere, but be careful.......... if you have paid a deposit then they will not be willing to refund it to you.

i know this because the university booked there and wanted me to do their disco, when i couldnt do that night there they changed venue, and ended up having a right battle to get their deposit back.

which part of sheffield are you from as im sure you could get a good room in a pub or WMC nearer you

It's not a matter of finding a room closer to me because our families and friends are coming from all over including Scotland and Staffordshire. I thought a pub in the city would be easier for everyone to get to.
I havn't paid a deposit just yet which is why I'm trying to find somewhere else for the same price but I don't think it's possible.

I'm getting married in Nether Edge but can't seem to find anywhere near there.

The Nether Edge Hotel Group do function but I have no idea how much they charge. Website is http://www.netheredge-hotels.co.uk/functions.html and it says call to see about rates.

On another Sheff Forum thread clogginchris has said Brincliffe Oaks, Nether Edge has a nice function room and good bar and is not too expensive (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=349&page=5). It was posted on 03-01-2005 so don't know if it is still there.

What about the Polish Club On Ecclesall Road? :)

isn't the polish club cloing down???

This place (brincliffe Oaks) closed down ages ago now, shame as the function room was quite large. The building has been the subject of 3 arson attacks in the last month too. Have you tried the pub at the bottom of the moor? I saw someone mention there in another thread.

Do you mean the Moorfoot Tavern?
I suppose if you asked, the landlady might close the pub to the regulars for you if it didn't fall on a weekend night.
You would have to provide your own buffet though.
Check the place out first.

I know there are a lot of stairs but STARS on Queens Road have a large function room for hire and you can get your own caterers in for the food.

not a bad place either.

Hi hun, we're on a very similar budget too, but also we only want the ceremony and a party. Nothing more. We found Don Valley Sports Academy. Yes, from the outside it is a dive, situated right between Darnall and Attercliffe. And it's not stunning inside but we have set aside a budget for making it look pretty inside with plenty of decoration! The room is free and the food is £3.75 per head. You just give them a non refundable £40 cleaning money when you go and book. They bent over backwards to give us what we wanted and for such a small place, in a not so nice looking area, they treated us better than any other places did. I think some people wonder why we chose to have it there, but we don't want a big do and I'm not going to explain myself to anyone. It is our wedding, the outcome is the same no matter how much you spend. xxxx

depending on what you want and what kinda people you are...i would highly recomend the old crown inn on scottland street nr the west bar police station. the place is free and you can either take your own catering or let them do it. the entertainment you get from the guys who work there are second to non. i went to an engagement party there a few weeks ago and they really do make your night special. if you dont mind silly games then they will do adult or kid games such as drinking hames or x factor with a twist. sounds corney but it isnt and they wont do anything you dont want them to. your guestd will enjoy themselves and if some want to stay over then they have rooms upstairs too. ring them and have a chat.01142701171
