We too are coming round to the idea of indoors. Although ours will be in August, the transporting of a Marquee, porta-loos etc, generators, and no gurantee of good weather! Instead we (think!!!) have decided on a grade 2 listed village hall which is a registered charity. We are still going to have our hogroast (from a local farmer) but have it brought inside instead! I still wonder about the BBQ wedding, but even in teh summer trying ot find somewhere to put up a tent was proving very difficult!! Excellent!! We too are coming round to the idea of indoors.

It will probably work out to have been the cheaper option in the end, when you take into account the heaters, portaloos, and all the extras for a marquee that you would have had to hire otherwise... Do talk to the caterers about the wedding breakfast. If nothing else, it will give them something to think about for the future! You could ask them to highlight options on the menu that come from local suppliers or that could be organic and then just choose those. You could also ask them to serve Fairtrade tea and coffee - I'm sure they'll be happy to oblige. Congratulations - a big step closer to the big day! Well done on finding the venue, Jenny!
