How to Find a Cheap Wedding Venue FAQ
If you've found yourself wondering 'how can I find a cheap wedding venue near me?' you've already come to the right place! A good place to begin your search is right here on Hitched, where you'll find a great selection of wedding deals.
Hundreds of our listed venues will also post their own wedding packages, last-minute deals and special offers, so you can find yourselves a bargain in the run-up to the big day.
How do I save money on my wedding venue?
Our biggest tip for couples looking for cheap wedding venues would be to be flexible about when you get married.
If you have your heart set on a Saturday in the summer – aka peak wedding season – you’re going to be paying a premium as those dates are more in demand. If you’re willing to consider a midweek date in winter, on the other hand, when there is less competition for dates, you’ll find more affordable deals.
If you’re wondering, what are the cheapest months to book a wedding venue, simply look outside the summer. Anything outside of May to September could be considered off-peak, but look especially at the less popular winter months, including November, January and February.
Finally, if you’re willing to plan your wedding at short notice, ask the venues you love to let you know if they have any last-minute cancellations. It’s not super common but when it does happen you can often get a great deal!
How much does a budget wedding venue cost in the UK?
This is really quite subjective – the word 'budget' is going to be relative to your own wedding budget, after all.
For most couples, a cheap wedding venue is often one that has a great deal or special offer available – these wedding venue deals allow you to get a beautiful wedding venue for less than you normally would, but you’ll often take a winter or midweek date, for example.
The average cost of a wedding now stands at £23,250, and with couples now spending around £11,625 on their wedding venue alone, anything under that price could technically constitute a cheap wedding venue.
That said, if your dream wedding venue usually charges £20,000 and has a great deal for £14,000, that could also be constituted as cheap! Decide your budget first, and that will help you determine what a cheap wedding venue is to you.
Can I negotiate wedding venue prices?
If you have your heart set on a particular wedding venue, but it seems out of your price range, it can’t hurt to get in touch with the venue and ask if there’s anything they can do for your budget, but it's also important to respect the answer the venue gives you.
Some venues might not be able to accommodate, while others are able to build bespoke packages so you can see if there’s an option that suits your needs.
Are weekday weddings cheaper?
In almost all cases, weekday weddings will be cheaper than a weekend as they’re less in demand. You’re likely to find the cheapest dates Monday to Wednesday.
Midweek weddings are a great solution for couples on a budget across the UK – many cheap wedding venues in London offer midweek discounts, for example, and you may find that many suppliers will also be more flexible on price. Affordable wedding photography? Don’t mind if we do!
What are the most affordable types of wedding venues?
The secret here is about what is included, rather than the size or type of venue. Consider wedding packages your new, budget-friendly best friend when searching for wedding venues that are cheap!
But what's included in a cheap wedding venue package? Well, the price will often include room hire, linen and chair hire, some décor items, the cutlery and crockery and – in most cases – your catering, too.
Double check whether items such as canapés and evening food are included as sometimes these can be considered ‘extras’, and also don’t be afraid to query things you don’t think will be necessary to see if there’s scope to change the deal. The worst your venue can do is say no!
On the face of it, dry hire venues look like the cheaper option, but remember that you are going to have to budget for everything else, including the catering, décor and possibly even a wedding coordinator who can help ensure things run smoothly on the day.
Other affordable alternatives to more traditional wedding venues include village halls, community centres and local pubs with private dining rooms – these all make brilliantly cheap locations for a wedding that can easily be transformed via some DIY décor. You'll also find some cheap barn wedding venues out there.
Are registry office weddings cheaper than traditional venues?
Registry office weddings are a great way to keep things simple and budget-friendly if you’re looking for a chic but relatively low-key ceremony – but it’s worth noting that most only cater for the ceremony and possibly a small drinks reception afterwards at most, so you’ll need to hire a separate venue to continue the party elsewhere.
Shop around to work out if the cost of ceremony room and reception room hire at your dream venue would work out cheaper than getting married at a registry office and then going elsewhere, particularly if you’ll need transport between the venues.
Cheap Wedding Venues Décor Tips
How do I decorate a wedding venue on a budget?
This will depend on the style of your venue and your wedding theme, but personally we don’t think you can go wrong with lots of fairy lights – they elevate every kind of setting!
For more affordable wedding décor ideas, think about using lots of plants and foliage – they’re more budget-friendly and readily available than flowers, plus they can look really stylish.
It’s also important to make use of what your venue already has – many ballrooms or dining rooms will boast ornate flooring, decorative plasterwork or beautiful chairs, for example, and require little other than some romantic candlelight. While other venues – particularly those that are dry-hire – may mean you’ll need to budget for a few more items.
Find out what decorative pieces your venue includes in its wedding packages too – many venues offer items such as top table backdrops, fairy lights and red carpets.
How can I make a budget wedding look expensive?
There are a few ways couples can make a cheap wedding venue look more expensive than it actually is – firstly, don’t underestimate the power of lighting!
Candles (whether real or LED) and fairy lights are an affordable way to create a romantic atmosphere, and they look incredibly chic. You might also want to chat to your venue or your DJ about any lighting options they have (such as uplighters) that will help to alter the feel of a space.
Remember, too, that the little (and often inexpensive) details will make the biggest difference: printed menu cards and hired table décor such as napkin rings can make your tables feel opulent, personalised notes handwritten on place cards or favours will make guests feel considered, while hanging elements such as lightbulbs or foliage will all add depth and texture to a space.
