Wedding venue capacity

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.
