Top tips for hiring wedding venues in London
Keep an open mind: it’s not always the area or venue type you initially have in mind that ends up being ‘the one’. We’d recommend looking outside the box, especially when it comes to dry hire venues, as you should view this as a blank canvas. For example, warehouse weddings are a great opportunity in London.
Check Licensing and policy: don’t forget to confirm licensing, corkage fees, curfews and BYO policies. This will help you to understand the full budget of each venue, including the hidden fees.
Consider the off-peak season: booking a venue pricing and costs differ depending on popularity and season, so it’s a good financial decision to check the lower wedding venue prices during the winter time.
Book in advance: ideally aim to book further in advance, typically the average pre-booking period for London venues is 8 months.
Speak to a wedding planner: if you’re unsure how to budget or utilise a dry hire venue, we recommend reaching out to a wedding planner, such as The Wedding Arrangers. This will help you to allocate your budget where needed and cut costs with expert advice.
Ask questions: when viewing, make sure you ask about changing rooms, on-site premises, availability and more to ensure you’re making your final decision with all the needed information.
