Why not celebrate your happy moments in a good old pub? Many Liverpool pubs hire their spaces for intimate and relaxed wedding receptions. Pub weddings are becoming a really hot trend right now!
Our best tip is to focus on off-peak dates, such as weekdays or the winter season (or even both at once!). The rates are better and there are more options to choose from. By choosing a less popular date, you can save as much as half of your wedding venue costs.
You should book a small wedding venue in Liverpool as early as you can. We recommend at least 9-12 months in advance to ensure you get the date and time of your choice. The best spots book up fast, so don’t miss out on your dream wedding venue!
Your Guide to Hiring Small Wedding Venues in Liverpool
Are you on the lookout for the ideal small wedding venue in Liverpool? No matter if you’re expecting 15, 25, or 50 guests, we’re more than happy to help you find the best location for your small wedding. Here are some insights from our Liverpool venue hire experts:
- Don’t be afraid to go for something unusual. Intimate weddings usually allow for more creativity. Liverpool is full of unique function rooms, as well as quirky spaces you wouldn’t normally associate with a bridal bash. How about a warehouse, a cosy local pub, an elegant art gallery, or even a crazy bar?
- Always remember to check the venue’s licences. Would you like to host both the wedding ceremony and the reception in one place? If your answer is “yes,” don’t forget to ask the venue manager if their space is licensed for what you’re planning. With our collection of Liverpool’s best small wedding venues, you’re sure to find one that’s suitable!
- Make the most out of your budget. Hosting a smaller reception allows you to pick options you wouldn’t consider otherwise. Find areas where you can splurge a little. We know the top venues of Liverpool’s culinary scene, so why don’t you go more gourmet and indulge your guests with a fine dining experience?
We know that budgeting is an important part of wedding planning, so we prepared an overview of the most commonly found pricing models:
- Most small wedding venues in Liverpool are priced with a hire fee. Prices start as low as £400.
- If you’d like to hire a restaurant for your wedding and use their in-house catering, your best bet is to find a minimum spend venue. This option requires you to only pay for a set amount of food and drinks. You do not need to pay for the use of the space. The minimum spend rates for small venues in Liverpool usually range between £700 and £2,000.
- Last, but not least, some wedding venues in Liverpool offer all-inclusive wedding packages, which will cover everything you will need for a stress-free intimate wedding reception. The prices per person typically fall between £25 and £90. (All data from Tagvenue.)
