Top 5 Exclusive Use Wedding Venues

Searching for the perfect wedding venue is one of the toughest tasks of all, when planning your special day. It’s a minefield out there, with hundreds of thousands of venues of every size, shape and colour on offer to suit all budgets.

That’s why hiring a Wedding Planner like myself can often take some of the headache out of the search for you. I can help narrow down your choices, zero-in on an area or a style of location and negotiate the best rates for your event. Plus it’s always fun to have someone to bounce ideas back and forth with and to send-off to do the initial leg work for you.

I’m an advocate of exclusive use wedding venues wherever possible. I think those venues offer a wedding party true privacy and there’s no danger of randoms stumbling in and helping themselves to your buffet.

There are so many amazing exclusive use wedding venues in the UK, to suit almost every budget and style of wedding. Here are just 5 of my top choices at the moment, offering something for most tastes:
