Responses from Venues - How long is it taking for you?

Between a couple of days and a week for me. Some never!!


The registrar has been the tough one for me, cannot get hold of them for a ceremony at all!

I didn't bother emailing our venue, I phoned and booked a viewing as I knew that was the one I wanted and got a viewing 2 days later, booked it the next day.

I think everywhere is just manic busy with all of the weddings suddenly going ahead. Try and allow extra time to what you would normally. Venues are managing a lot more weddings in a week to what they would usually with everyone's having been postponed.

Depending on what info you're after I'd suggest using their website for initial queries and then if you think it's somewhere you're interested in just give them a quick call. It will be much easier for them and quicker for you too.

The day I emailed the registry office I had an auto email about a rough timescale (2 to 3 weeks before they would call) due to covid weddings being completed and back logs. Longest 3 weeks of my life as nothing else could be done without the date booked. Got that sorted theb H2B rang reception venue the same night, I emailed all details to them, waited 5 days no reply so H2B rang again told us we were penciled in and will email us shortly 2 days later im still waiting. I know my wedding isn't for another 2 years but I like things in order so everything else can be booked, deposits paid and less for me to stress about. When enquiring I would ask for response times or just even a confirmation of receipt if you have emailed so you know it is being looked at.
