An average wedding venue in London can be expensive.
The average cost of hiring a wedding venue in London can be between £3,800 – £4,000. However, this can vary greatly depending on the size of the venue and how many guests you have invited. You should also consider whether or not you need an external catering company to provide food for your wedding.
Let’s understand it this way – If you book the Ivy Suite at The Crown London Hotel for dry hire, then it will cost you around £4,000 on weekdays and £5,000 on weekends. Ivy Suite can accommodate up to 300 guests and the package will include main room hire, two reception lobbies, round table & chairs, white tablecloths and a private kitchen for your caterers. However, if you want to hire a room for up to 90 guests, then you can choose the Grade II listed Sala Room for your wedding.
Most of the London hotels are licensed to host wedding ceremonies, receptions, and breakfasts all in one place.
These full-service wedding venues are perfect to host your wedding reception and ceremony under one roof. The hotel will also host your wedding breakfast and offer a wedding planner who can help you with the entire process from start to finish. You will also be able to get creative with your menu options at such venues because they have caterers on staff who can cater for any kind of food you like.
For example, The Crown London Hotel is a fully licensed venue for Civil Wedding Ceremonies. You can create your own ceremony so that your entire day can flow together, making it easier for you and your guests. Whether you choose religious, civil, humanist, or spiritual, the hotel can help you create a ceremony that you will cherish forever.
Wedding menus are very important as they establish the tone for the reception, which also means it contributes to the cost of hiring a wedding venue.
Wedding menus should be tailored to your style and theme; if you are having a country garden party with lots of food and drink, which is what you should have on your menu. A good place to start is by asking yourself: who are we? What kind of couple do we want to be? And then look at what other couples have done in similar venues. Talk to your married friends, and family members and discuss menu options. Also, you can arrange a meeting with the events & weddings team at the venue to understand the menu options available in the packages.
Getting married in London is an exciting, memorable and expensive experience. Yes, the cost is an important factor but with the right planning, a perfect venue and a great team of coordinators, you can really create your special day the way your heart desires.
