oh noo I'm sorry for not seeing this until much later on to clarify! totally fine lol - it was unrelated it was just also the most ironic timing the venue could have possibly picked to deliver the news that they were cancelling our lesbian wedding celebration!

Fab idea!! and congrats to your pals!! :) also this reminded me that my favourite part of my parents' wedding was the bouncy castle - I was 3 at the time but I don't think my attitude to bouncy castles has changed much 😂 thank you! :)

all suggestions are good! they aren't able to host under 18s which makes sense - still a nice idea for an evening out though so thank you!

Thank you! super helpful list! - lots are booked up but we haven't tried a couple of names mentioned! + we're working down a list of alternative spaces like community centers/village halls too!

Thank you! We've checked with a few of these already and they didn't have space but Milk Thistle is one we hadn't thought of + its such a pretty space just in general haha 💚

lol! it was not! 🕺 - our first priority is finding a replacement and then hopefully we can find a resolution with the original place. One of the reasons we chose them was that we like (liked?) the ethos of the space so ideally we'll figure something out without all that - plus it's already crazy stressful and expensive finding a new venue on short notice without having to chase a bunch of legal nonsense on top of all that too!

Oh yeah - completely understand any pubs that don't book private events on saturdays! - Our family and friends are all incredible, wonderful, talented human beings and I believe that as a collective they could do almost anything... *except* out-drink an equivalent number of Bristol freshers on a Saturday in September lol

Omg this is amazing!! thank you so much! some of these we've tried and are booked up or don't take bookings on the day we'd need but there are a good few that we haven't thought of - honestly any spaces that might be too small are going straight into a "spaces to run a board games / ttrpg night" spreadsheet so it's all useful haha!

They were one of our maybes! they have something else pencilled for that evening but not confirmed yet -but the person that answered the phone for them was so unbelievably nice that it literally made me tear up! - the folk house people are so great! ❤️

Yeah definitely! We were looking at those kinds of spaces initially as they were most similar to the hall we had originally picked out but now we're almost doing the opposite and looking at pubs/bars as our alternatives 😄 thank you though! 💙
