The former church hall with tall windows, used for the church blessing.
The adjoining reception hall for dinner and dancing.
The short walk between the church and the hall, connecting the blessing and the reception.
The free parking area at the Parade, included with every booking.
“After the blessing we simply walked into the adjoining hall for coffee and cake. No minibus, no waiting, no uncles getting lost. For a reception with ninety guests that is exactly what you want.”
“My Indonesian family is used to plenty of food and plenty of tea. Bram made sure the tea kept coming all afternoon and that there was space to seat the elders separately.”
“A simple hall, but everything is already there: tables, chairs, sound for the speeches. We did not have to hire anything. It is a parish hall, so do not expect a designer interior — but it is clean and it works.”
“My father-in-law uses a walker and could get everywhere, including into the church hall. Parking at the Parade is free but the centre is busy on Saturdays; tell guests to set off a bit earlier.”
