Good to know when you’re choosing

Licensed or not? A licensed venue can hold your legal ceremony on site. Unlicensed venues are lovely for receptions or a celebrant-led ceremony after a quick register-office signing.
Book your guests’ rooms early. Rural venues often have few beds nearby on a summer Saturday – use “Stay near” on any venue to find places close by, and book direct for the best rates.
Midweek and winter are cheaper. Many venues take a good chunk off Monday–Thursday dates and November to March.
Always check the details. Guest numbers, prices and rules come from the venues and wedding directories and change often – confirm everything with the venue before you book.
