What it costs

How a wedding here is priced

No figures are published on this page, because none are published anywhere and a made-up band helps nobody. What is here is the shape of a quote, the things that move it, and how to get the numbers.

The structure

What a quote is made of

Venues price weddings in different orders, which is why comparing two quotes side by side is harder than it should be. These are the lines yours will be built from.

  1. 01

    Venue hire

    The property for a block of hours, on a date. Ask what the block is and what an extra hour costs, because that single line moves more quotes than anything else on this list.

  2. 02

    Food, per head

    The site reads as in-house catering with a chef and wait staff. One directory listing says otherwise. Get the answer in writing along with a sample menu, since food is the thing guests write about afterwards.

  3. 03

    Beverages

    Package, consumption or cash bar. Each one behaves differently as the guest count moves, and only one of them is predictable.

  4. 04

    Beds

    There are cottages on the property. Whether they sit inside the wedding booking or beside it changes the total, and it changes who pays.

  5. 05

    Everything else

    Ceremony setup, hire items, cakeage, staffing beyond the standard run, and whatever your styling needs. This is where quotes diverge, so ask for it itemised rather than as a single figure.

What moves the number

Five things change your total

The date does most of it. Saturdays in the dry months behave differently to a Friday in February, and no venue on this coast prices them the same.

After that: how many people you feed, how long you hold the property, which ceremony location you choose and what it takes to set up, and whether your guests sleep here or drive out. Change any one and the quote changes with it.

None of those weightings is published, so treat this as the shape of the conversation rather than as a rate card. The guide carries the figures.

Before you pay a deposit

Get these in writing

None of these is answered on the site today. They are the ones that cost money later if you leave them until after the contract.

Standing in the barn while someone answers is worth more than a PDF. Both are available.
