Your Wedding Reception - Recommended Venues in London and South East England 2011 These Wedding Reception Venues are a cut above the rest. Unsurprisingly, in many cases, so are the associated costs. But what you are likely to get in return is an unforgettable experience across all the senses, starting with the WOW! factor when the doors are opened to reveal an exquisite dining room or ballroom. Some of these wedding venues are on a grand scale, others more charming and low-key. All of them look stunning, and as well as the pleasure this provides on the day, this will give fabulous backdrops for your wedding photography and video coverage. The links should take you directly to the relevant page. Since they are the results of my own experience and research and are not sponsored, I am free to add and remove according to my own views and any consumer feedback you might like to provide. The list contains links to 69 top wedding reception venues in London and many more in the counties surrounding London: Surrey; Kent, a few in Sussex and Cambridgeshire, also Essex, Herts, Middlesex, Berkshire and Bucks. Good Luck and don't forget to come back to Victory VideoWeddings for superb coverage!
