Shetlandstar Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hello there! I am due to get married on the 15th of December this year and have already booked the Lerwick Museum for the reception/dance, but because of rising costs and financial difficulties, I am looking for somewhere else that would be suitable for around 50 to 80 guests. Another reason for no longer wanting the museum is that you are not allowed to decorate the walls, and I want banners and christmas decorations etc. Isleburgh has already been booked up and I'm not keen on the British Leigon. The Town Hall is too big, and although I will be contacting Sound and Tingwall hall, I would love to know of other venues that may be free on that date (unfortunately, my first choice: Whiteness and Weisdale Hall) has another wedding there on the same date. I'm hoping to get somewhere that is reasonably close to Lerwick. Also, I would be needing somewhere that sells alcohol as I want to have a bar at the wedding. If you have any ideas, I would really appreciate it if you could PM Me. Thanks!Kindest Regards,From Tracey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delts Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 TA Hall? Don't know about the bar facilities mind you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachcaster Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 It would be worth contacting the Burra Hall, as well as the main hall downstairs, there is also a smaller function room upstairs which can hold 80 people no problem. Bar facilities in both. They have a facebook page with contact details, look for Burra Public Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazel64 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Would it be worth considering Some of the nearer country halls like quarff or a venue in Scalloway. Is there a bar in stainey hill hall. Will you require catering? If so I could help. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 The Sound Hall has the Baila room at the back which should be a fine size for 50-80, although I don't know the exact capacity. It has a bar as well. Booking number I found on the web is 01595 692020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlady Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 What about the Gulberwick Hall ? http://www.communitydirectory.shetland.gov.uk/gulberwick-community-hall-i863.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piggywiggie Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 We had the kind hall for ours if it's just for 50-100 people the baila room they say the baila room would be fine. We just hired he while place for £275 I think it was! I can't remember exact price we were writing cheques constantly! Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 The Staney Hill Hall has had a lot of money spent on it lately and is run by a local committee, they can put on a bar for you - if you pm me I will give you the contact details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teenie3 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 The Freefield Centre would easily fit that amount of folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plooky Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 How about the Masonic Hall. They have catering facilities and a stage for a band if you want a dance. You don't need for anyone to be a member either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piggywiggie Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 a wedding venue is only going to be what you make it. we used the baila room for our meal after the ceromony in town hall and you wouldnt have recognised it was a public hall really, thanks to my family and friends (and of course my parters eye for design) the place looked stunning!

oddtablet Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 How about the Masonic Hall. They have catering facilities and a stage for a band if you want a dance. You don't need for anyone to be a member either.I think you'll find a member must be in attendance for the duration of the function. The member is responsible for the whole event.I agree that it's a great venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarotangel Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 There is the Bressay Hall, booking can be made contacting 01595 820 389. The only problem with that would be the cost of coming over and transport but worth considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogling Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 You could try the Cunningsburgh Hall - the {relatively} new extension, 'the Ben End' holds about that number and will be warm in December with it's geothermal heating. The Hall Committee has a Catering Team to provide a meal / buffet / Supper, and Bar Staff available for hire. Tel. 01950 477329 to enquire about bookings.
