Small wedding venue capacity
Hiring a small wedding venue is simple: they’ll have capacity for a fixed number of guests either for a reception or for a civil ceremony plus reception.
Large wedding venue capacity
The larger the wedding venue, the more options you may have for room hire. There may be a room in your venue set aside for the ceremony and another for the reception, or there may be a choice of rooms depending how many guests you’re having at your wedding.
It’s easy when planning your wedding to overlook a larger venue if you’re only having an intimate wedding. But they’re always worth considering. Often a large hotel or country house will have a charming room perfectly suited for hosting a wedding breakfast for up to 50 guests.
Exclusive use wedding venue capacity
If you’re booking your wedding venue for the whole day and you’ve opted for exclusive use, you’ll have the pick of the best rooms for your day, and in addition to the rooms set aside for the wedding ceremony and reception your guests will be able to mingle in the venue’s own ‘reception rooms’ and gardens before and after the wedding breakfast.
