Question

does anyone know of a good place for about 15 people on the thames. i have looked on the internet so pls don't tell me to search it. i want people's personal experiences.

Answer 1

keep it simple and don't let every body have an invitation or else you will regret it i did  and ended up with around 350 people and a large bill

Answer 2

how about hiring a river boat?

Answer 3

do you have a nice back yard, or does any of your friends, you can spend your money on decorating the place and light it up nicely,

or just go to Vegas as a group and make a fun trip out of it.

Congrats, peace be with you

Answer 4

There is a very nice hotel on the Thames at Sonning, I think it's called the The Great House, it is an expensive place but the setting is beautiful for a wedding.

There is Phyllis Court club in Henley-on-Thames, nice setting again, has many different size rooms for functions, I have been to a couple of weddings there myself - very nice. Not sure of the prices though.

The Swan at Streatly is very nice.

There are many different pubs along the Thames if you want a more informal do.

Hope this helps - good luck!

Answer 10

You do not say when you are getting married, you could buy a marque and set it up yourself, flowers lights, floor. Argos do them, after you can use it for garden parties.

Answer 11

Many pubs in London will let you have their function room free, if you can guarantee a certain number of guests - they then make their money on the food and having extra drinkers in, and you get a private room.  Others (like the Samuel Pepys /www.thesamuelpepys.co.uk/bookings/index... have a minimum spend, so if you know you are going to be paying for a restaurant meal anyway, then you get exclusive use of the space.

These rooms can be quite small, and I'll bet some of them would let you dress the room, too.  Try dropping into ones you fancy and asking.

Answer 12

Are there public parks?  Do you have any friends who live along the river?
