Planning Tips for Booking Your Wedding Reception Venue
Simple answers to help you enquire, compare, and book with confidence:
Send one enquiry to save time: Select your favourite venues and use the enquiry form to contact them all at once. Your message goes directly to each venue, and they’ll respond with availability, pricing, and next steps.
Ceremony and reception in one place: Many venues offer both ceremony and reception spaces, making your day run more smoothly and cutting down on travel. You’ll see this info on the venue page or you can confirm when enquiring.
Catering sorted or BYO: Some venues offer in-house catering, while others let you bring in your own. You can also browse trusted local caterers via our supplier directory.
Schedule a walk-through before you book: Most venues are happy to book walk-throughs so you can get a feel for the space before locking it in. Let them know you’d like to arrange a tour when you enquire.
Book ahead for peace of mind: Reception venues are often booked 12–18 months in advance, especially in peak seasons. The more flexible your date, the more availability you’ll find.
