Now step through into the beautifully decorated Regency Suite, and the first thing that normally catches everyone’s attention is the dramatic sky effect ceiling, and the numerous crystal chandeliers that are throughout the main ballroom. All lighting in this room is dimmable, so can be adjusted throughout your evening. Our multi coloured LED lighting system around the perimeter of the ceiling, in addition to our four discreet air conditioning units, provide the perfect atmosphere and ambience for you and your guests. Please be aware, that we do not provide any audio or visual equipment in the main Regency Suite, and this must be provided by your chosen vendors. We strongly recommend all DJ and band equipment, including speakers, are located on or by the platform.
Within our dry hire package, the Regency will provide sole exclusive use of two suites. Guest tables. Chivari chairs. Trestle high table. Semi-circle cake display table and Tablecloths. The gloss white dance floor. Use of the kitchen to reheat food with the chargeable option of full on site cooking, and use of bar facilities which you stock with your own refreshments. The use of our Cutlery, Crockery, and Glassware are subject to additional hire charges. The standard hire times are based on seven hours of function time. However these hours can be extended by paying for additional hours. Please note that your function must finish as agreed on your contract, we then allow up to an hour for all vendors to vacate the venue. We are licensed up until 2am Monday to Saturday and up until 12am on Sundays. Any extension to these times would be subject to our written approval. Access to the venue for wedding vendors, is 5 hours before your hire time start, to allow for set up. Early access for vendors & full on site cooking is available subject to paying the supplement, as listed on your venue hire rates. This then gives vendors access to the venue from 10am as well as caterer access to the kitchen to cook on site.
We can accommodate up to 400 guests for waiter served meals, or 360 guests for a buffet with one buffet station. The Regency are responsible for positioning tables, chairs, and tablecloths but we do not position any cutlery, crockery, or glassware. This would be the responsibility of the caterer, décor company or whoever else you designate this responsibility to, so please be sure to discuss this with them. Once your event finishes, all tables must be cleared by your waiting staff of any food, beverages, cutlery, crockery, and glassware; brought into the kitchen, where our kitchen porters will wash our equipment. The Regency will then hoover the venue and deep clean the washrooms and kitchen. In relation to catering companies, you do have the flexibility to choose your own, but they must have Public Liability Insurance as well as Health Safety certificates. These documents will be requested at least two weeks before your event. The hirer must arrange and provide waiting staff to serve and clear tables at the end of your event as it is against health and safety insurance purposes for any guests to enter the kitchen. Please take your time and walk around the venue, making your way to both ends of the hall where you will notice the raised sections of the room. This has been specifically designed like this to provide guests that are seated here clear views of the dance floor and top table area. Another nice design feature to point out is the regency style curved windows. When day turns to night, these will automatically change to mirrors to match the rest of the room. I am sure you will agree that our venue is well kept, and we do have a maintenance programme 4 times a year where we clean carpets and carry out general repairs.
