Planning Tips for Booking a Garden Wedding Venue
Here are a few quick tips to help you plan the perfect garden celebration, come rain or shine.
Hold your ceremony and reception in one place: Many garden venues offer dedicated areas for both the ceremony and reception. This creates a seamless flow for you and your guests without the need for extra travel. Be sure to confirm this when you enquire.
Have a Plan B for wet weather: Most garden venues have indoor or sheltered backup options in case of bad weather. It’s always a good idea to ask about contingency plans when discussing your booking. This gives you peace of mind no matter the forecast.
Check guest capacity upfront: Some venues cater to intimate groups, while others can host larger weddings with ease. Each venue listing includes info about capacity so you can find the right fit. If unsure, just ask when you enquire.
Add your own style: Love a DIY setup? Many garden wedding venues are happy for you to personalise the space with your own styling. Just check in with the venue team to confirm what’s allowed. They may also have helpful guidelines or supplier recommendations.
Book early for peak dates: Garden venues are popular and can book out quickly, especially in the warmer months. We recommend securing your venue 12–18 months ahead. If your date is flexible, you might still find availability on shorter notice.
