The lady that did all the organising for mine at Statham Lodge and ran the day was called Gail. She did an awesome job.

...and, no problems with sound restrictions either, we've had a few weddings there where they've had fireworks displays in the evenings, barbecues etc...

Gail was the South African lady - she was ace. One of my friends is getting married there later this year too. To the original poster - get yourself down there this weekend and have a look, try and speak to Gail if possible. What i would say is if you do go try and go early-ish on a saturday. If they've got a wedding on they'll show you the room(s) set up.

I should be getting paid for this marketing job i'm doing

Walton Hall in wally gardens. You book the place for the day exclusive so no sharing or worrying about timings with other weddings/funerals etc like you get in the big hotels. You have to use their caterers (Golden gates) which were excellent and very reasonable. You can book your own dj etc which you can't sometimes at other venues. They also let you store stuff til the next day (prezzies, dj eqpt etc).
Only downside is there's no hotel facility so you cant stay and get proper lashed in the residents bar when everyone's gone so you might have to come up with something else to do on the wifes big night.

Wally gardens was a opition just for the surrondings
but most of the guest would want to stay over,and with the hassle of booking a another hotel made this opition a no go
but thanks for the shout

No worries, although there's Premier lodge and the Village only a 10 min taxi ride away.
