Arrgh please help re venues and pricing...so confused!

Hi Hannah,

I'd certainly say that a lot of venues have flexible T&C's... It wouldn't do any harm to ask as I know many that chop and change what they offer!

Hope that helps!

Thank you, I suppose i'll brave it and ask!

Lots of people don't even have an evening reception. It's not unusual to have ceremony then afternoon tea then guests go home / bride and groom depart for honeymoon. I'm sure if you say sthg like "we need to be at the airport for 5pm so will only have a wedding breakfast, then we're off" they can't really argue!

As with all suppliers - tell them what you feel you need.

If they can't do what you want, either through being inflexible or simply how they are structured, there is plenty of choice.

I'm very sure you'll find something!

Best thing to do would be ask the venue because each one can be different...at the venue we are looking at they have a ceremony hire charge, a wedding breakfast hire charge and an evening hire charge so you can pay for what you have...however if you pick all 3 room hires you get a discount so you may find that you don't get a hire price much less than if you held the whole thing at the venue.

it's worth asking, if you were having an early wedding they may be more inclined to give you the room hire cheaper as they may be able to hire the room out in the evening to someone else?

Hi Hannah...the reasoning behind this is that many venues wants to sell you the whole day. It maximises their profits. Compare their "take" with your wedding and then with another that wants the all inclusive deal. Not what you want to hear, althougth the reality. They would be unlikely to "sell" their venue for the evening alone, so it becomes a sort of loss.#

I do though hope that you find a venue that fits your requirements...they are out there, although most want the inclusive deal.
