- AAlistair and Natalie17/11/2024Beautiful November Wedding Beautiful November WeddingA beautiful venue for our wedding. We had a change of coordinator during the planning process and some of the things promised by the first one didn't happen which is unfortunate but understandable. Sophie our coordinator was so enthusiastic at our meetings, very responsive to our emails and answered questions as they came up. The venue was very attentive, we had a number of guests with varied mobility difficulties and the Speilman centre was very accessible. It is a long journey from the Anglican Chapel to the toilet though! The Arnos Vale staff on the day were helpful and professional. Because you are limited in your choice of caterers this can push the price up but we were fortunate as the caterer we chose was delicious. All in all a beautiful and unusual place to get married.
