Couples after a laid-back, cocktail-style reception rather than a formal ballroom can take over the upstairs of The Village Inn, a two-storey pub that first opened in 1890 at 9-11 Glenmore Rd, Paddington.
Receptions here are standing affairs with canapés moving around the room, so they suit a smaller guest list, a second celebration after an overseas wedding, or a relaxed party following a registry ceremony.
Upstairs spaces for the reception:
A Sunday reception is the natural fit for the full floor, since the pub won't book a function of 75 from Thursday to Saturday. The first-dance song can go through the AUX input on the house sound system.
The Print Room holds up to 50 and the Horse Shoe 25, or 35 with the upstairs bar. Book out the full upstairs and the number rises to 75, Sunday to Wednesday only.
Its function spaces are set up for cocktail-style standing receptions with canapés and grazing boards, so it best suits a relaxed, mingling celebration.
Yes. Plug a phone into the AUX input on the pub's sound system and cue the song when you're ready.
Pay the deposit to hold the date, agree the minimum spend with the event manager, and expect a 5% gratuity on the final bill.
