- JJames and Nhu Milton14/04/2023Our wedding venue is Reed HallOur wedding venue is Reed HallOur wedding venue is Reed Hall. As we are both alumni of University of Exeter, this venue is meaningful to us. We are also pleased that Reed Hall is an exclusive use venue. As soon as we expressed our interest in hiring the building, they reserved all the bed and breakfast rooms for our guests.. Additionally, we are able to host our ceremony and reception at the same place. This saves us from the trouble of organizing the transportation to our guests, who will be coming from Vietnam, Europe, and the States. Besides huge glass doors, the Woodbridge restaurant at Reed Hall has a hardwood floor, providing us with an amazing opportunity for folk dancing. (For your information, I fell in love with James not at first sight, but at our first folk dance. Our wedding first dance, therefore, has been planned to be our first dance.). Equally importantly, Reed Hall is a perfect choice for us because it's quiet, peaceful, beautiful, and not close to the city center. We are not a huge fan of the traffic around Christmas. Likewise, there are ample of parking spaces nearby, free of charge. If you live in Exeter, don't you agree that parking near the city center can be expensive, and sometimes, impossible?. The food was tremendously good; all of my guests were so pleased. The staffs were very nice and accommodating. They tried their best to help us. For example, they allowed us to come in advance to decorate the venue. Upon being informed that the wedding color is burgundy, they ordered the flowers in the bar area in this color. Amazing service! We highly recommend.Our wedding venue is Reed Hall. As we are both alumni of University of Exeter, this venue is meaningful to us. We are also pleased that Reed Hall is an exclusive use venue.
