A Saturday in summer is the most expensive combination there is. The same room midweek in winter is £4,082 less on hire alone.

An estimate, not a quotation. Flowers, photography, music and the registrar are not included.

What this tells you

Couples usually want a realistic total before they fall for a venue. This takes the date, the guest list, the food, the drinks and the rooms, then returns an itemised total, the cost per day guest, the deposit and the balance.

The rates belong to no real venue, so treat the total as a demonstration. It is most useful for seeing which decisions move the number.

Have these to hand

  • The time of year and the day of the week you have in mind.
  • Your day guests, children and evening guests. Rough numbers will do.
  • The style of meal and drinks you are leaning towards.
  • Whether the ceremony is on site, and how many bedrooms you want.

Reading the result

The day of the week and the time of year set the venue hire. Guest numbers then drive nearly everything else, so try taking ten off the day list and moving them to the evening.

The cost per day guest is the figure to compare venues on, since it stays fair when one quote assumes more people than another.

Questions people ask

Is this what our wedding will cost?

No. The rates are illustrative. A venue using this tool would put its own prices in, and its total would then be one it stands behind.

Are the registrar’s fees included?

No. If you hold the ceremony in the licensed room, the registrar is paid separately to the council, and the tool says so.

How are children and evening guests charged?

In this example children pay half for the meal, and evening guests count only towards the evening food.

Does the total include VAT?

Yes. VAT is shown as its own line, then the deposit to hold the date and the balance before the day.

Want this on your own website?

This is the real thing, not a mockup. We build these for wedding and event venues and put your own rates inside, so the number a visitor sees is one you would stand behind. It embeds in the site you already have with one line of code, or sits on a subdomain with a single DNS record. We never need access to your hosting.

Fixed price, fixed date, agreed in writing before anything starts. Tell us what people ask you before they buy and we will say honestly whether this is worth doing for you.
