Venue help !!!

Sorry I can’t help you with your this.


However I’m based in Bromley Kent which is not cheap but we got venue and catering with a hotel for £7k….
You may have to look further afield or look at smaller functions that might offer a better deal?

What sort of venue are you looking for? I must admit I don’t think you’ll find this in barn type venue unless they are a venue who uses external catering, but even then it might prove difficult x

View quoted message Hiya, happy to look at a vary of styles. Would be happy to look at outside catering but would be easier if one was venue and catering included x

When we were looking we found that hotels are pretty good for costs compared to somewhere like a barn. A lot of barns had a upfront cost of £4K-£5k and then additional cost per person for catering. With our wedding venue we are going out of season (oct 2023) with a fixed package for 60 people including food, toast drinks and hire for £6k at a hotel and then an additional £85 per person after that.


My biggest suggestions for keeping costs low are:
- look at weddings outside of May- August/ September - limit day guests to family and close friends and add the other people as evening guests- maybe think about if your wedding could be on a weekday
We are having about 120-130 people to our wedding in the day and found that once you get over 100 people the venues that have a license to do a wedding for more than 100 are limited. We also looked at Hertfordshire and ended up going to Buckinghamshire instead as we struggled to find a venue to cater to what we wanted. I wish you all the best! Xx
