Kenny and his team were amazing and so helpful. Our wedding celebration was amazing and the space was exactly what we needed. We had about 60 guests with room for more. His pool is perfect for the hot vegas summers and theres lots of space outside for activities. We brought yard games. They were also very patient with my requests. I highly recommend his venue

We threw my daughter’s wedding reception here. It turned out to be amazing! The little stage in the middle of the floor with the spotlight was perfect for photo taking! Although it can be moved if necessary. The lights were able to be changed to pink which matched our theme. The speakers were perfect! Everything was perfect and beautiful ❤️

What Kind of Venue Can I Rent for a Wedding Reception?

Whether you're planning a lavish sit-down meal or a cocktail wedding reception, we have some of the best wedding venues to help you create unforgettable memories.

  • Restaurants/Bars – Relaxed Setting. Imagine celebrating your wedding in your favourite local restaurant. You'll have exclusive use of the venue, and every single detail will be taken care of—all you need to do is show up and have a great time.

  • Barns/Farms – Rustic Charm. Are you a countryside lover? Barns and farms on Giggster make unique wedding venues to host both the civil ceremony and the party. Think of the rolling vineyards and the picturesque landscape as the ideal backdrop for your wedding photos. What could be better?

  • Luxury Hotels Bespoke Packages. If you like the convenience of hosting in a hotel banquet hall or a ballroom, we have an amazing selection of hotels that offer premium services and bespoke wedding planning. From rooftop licensed wedding venues to opulent ballrooms with modern amenities and a range of catering options, hotels are the perfect setting for seamlessly planned weddings.

  • Opulent Ballrooms – Timeless Elegance. Searching for an elegant venue to celebrate your love story? With their glamourous setting, ballrooms are the perfect space for extravagant wedding ceremonies and celebrations in style. You can host both the ceremony and the reception at the same place. Go with a lavish three-course meal to impress your guests even more.

  • Outdoor Spaces – Natural Backdrop. Many couples in the UK choose weddings in the open, and we don't blame them. Outdoor wedding locations can have a unique charm and captivating views that won't cost as much as other venues. Choose an easily accessible park by the River Thames in London or a castle wedding venue somewhere in Northern Ireland.

Top Features to Look for in a Wedding Reception Venue

Your preferred venue can make a huge impact on your special day. Between the catering options, the layout, easy access and ambience, ensure your wedding venue has all the essentials for a memorable experience.

What is the ambience you're going for? Do you envision a wedding in the open? Perhaps you want to feel like a royal and celebrate your nuptials in a castle or a mansion. Music and lighting are a big part of the atmosphere, so choose yours carefully. A classic duo to welcome your guests with a glass of champagne is the definition of elegance.

Can you bring in your own supplies? Some wedding venues don't allow external vendors. Others may not let you bring your own decor. Double-check with your chosen space what you can and cannot use, or hire a wedding planner to ease the planning process.

How about accessibility? Ideally, your wedding venue is conveniently located within easy reach of key attractions and public transportation. Ensure your guests have a wonderful experience from the beginning by picking a location they will easily reach.

Organising Your Wedding Reception

Whether you hire a wedding planner or plan your wedding on your own, a planning guide or checklist will help you stay on track.

Find the Right Venue The wedding venue you choose can make all the difference when celebrating this important milestone in your life. From the ambience to the size and well-connected location, there are many factors to consider when searching for your dream wedding space. We have venues that can comfortably accommodate any party size.

Plan the Menu Food should be at the top of your list, whether you're planning a buffet, a seated dinner, or a cocktail reception. Work closely with the venue to create a menu that will satisfy diverse dietary needs and requirements.

Arrange the Entertainment Are you envisioning a live music band or a DJ, or do you prefer to play your own playlist at your wedding? Whatever entertainment you have imagined, a dance floor is a must, whether you're hosting in a restaurant, a hotel, or an outdoor area.

Decorate The decor can make or break the ambience so plan yours carefully. A romantic wedding requires soft lighting and romantic blooms, along with elegant chairs or romantic backdrops. On the other hand, minimal design and decor are best suited for elegant and simple weddings on a budget.

Hidden Costs for a Wedding Reception at a Venue

Between food, decor, hidden costs and beyond, your wedding expenses can quickly pile up. But planning a wedding doesn't have to break the bank.

Have you secured the venue?

The venue hire is probably the only aspect of your wedding where you shouldn't cut corners. Though a castle and a historic mansion may cost a small fortune, a restaurant and an outdoor location can help stretch your budget further. We have many venues ideal for civil ceremonies and parties on your preferred date. Early bookings will help you lock in better prices.

Will you need to hire suppliers?

Are you planning on hiring a wedding photographer or a live music band? All vendors at your wedding are potential additional costs. Check with the preferred venue to see if you can bring your food, beverage, or decor supplies. Explore your options as soon as you can to secure the best vendors. Expenses for caterers range between £20 to £50 or over £100 per person for more elaborate meals.

How about entertainment?

Prices for wedding bands in the UK can range from £600 to £2000 and over, depending on the duration, location, experience, and reputation of the band. If you are trying to save money, try finding local performers or family members and friends who have experience playing at parties.
