wedding venue

watching "big fat gypsy wedding" on ch4 and was thinking if you had a largish parcel land or hotel, and seing how these families are strugling to get a venue,if you were gypsy freindly venue youd never be short of buisness and doing gypsys a big favour and your guaranteed buisness so profits!

Was thinking the same the other day talking to a mate of ours.

I haven't seen it tonight (yet), but remember the vast majority of people on the show weren't Gypsies - it should have been called 'Big Fat Irish Traveller weddings!'

tonnight was proper romany gypsys,but you could hate gypsys and do it just for dosh,itd help if you got on with them though lol kindve win win situation and im suprised no shrewd dying on its feet venue hasnt grabbed (no pun intended) the idea and made a go of it!

I'll have to have a watch of that tomorrow then and see it it's for real.

4+1 its on now,plenty of footage from apleby and the trip down in covered wagon,one drawback i could see for the venue would be the planning protests if it got out it was going to cater for gypsy/traveler,if you had to declare such a thing to planning!

they couldn't ask you to declare he race or ethnicity or your proposed customers, it's just the same as catering for any racial or ethnic group mate

I have recorded it I'll watch it tomorrow

maybe a nice piece of woodland,being sold off cheap anytime soon lol!

dont see why would have to state intended customers, just not barr anyone based on
personal biggotory.

cant believe anyone would want their daughter on her biggest day of her life to have
to go thru the shit some of the so called publican and licencees put their customer
base thru, wonder if they find out a family are just house dwelling chavs, and plenty
of those about, if they get barred.

kin hell the place is insured, and its not like the men are tea total is it, put plenty
thru the bar tills.

and it is breaking the law, at least 3 different laws at that! I haven't watched the show yet but i wonder how many venues have set themselves up for prosecution

exactly if you made it known you were gypsy/traveler freindly,im sure any dammage would be more than covered,i cant see anymore dammage being caused by travelin folk than normal wedding guests.
the mere fact you are gypsy/traveler freindly and wont snatch the big day away from thems gotta make them more apreciative and want to look after place more.

if you did go to the lengths of 'making it known' would that be just as bad - i.e. advertising the ethnicity of your preferred customers. It would be like a sign on the door saying, 'we prefer white middle class English customers - but you are all welcome.' There is a danger it would become implied racism, it's a difficult situation, but yo are right if your treat people (any people) with respect your chances of getting the same respect back are much higher than when you start with a bad attitude

yes i gues youd have to mke it open to all to keep your venue lisence etc,but advertising ing in traveler press and making it known that being traveler freindly is going to put the venue way up on peoples to moan about list,so even higher behavoiral standards would be apreciated to gain public aproval,maybe little hearts and minds propaganda wouldnt go a miss lol and a sucessfull venue for all concerned.
jobs for local people,extra trade for local buisnesess,bar provided by local publican all very profitable for local area could help change atitudes!
