Absolutely. If you’re after something full of character, The Golden Hinde is a great choice—it’s a replica of Sir Francis Drake’s ship and makes for a really memorable, intimate venue. Another option is Crypt on the Green in Clerkenwell. It’s got that old London charm with beautiful arches and a cosy atmosphere. If you’re after something grand, St Martin-in-the-Field near Trafalgar Square is also worth a look.
Some do, and others let you bring in your own caterers. Places like Glaziers Hall and Woods Silver Fleet have catering sorted for you, which makes things easier. But if you’ve got a specific menu in mind, venues like The Golden Hinde often let you arrange your own food and drinks. Just double-check before you book.

Cheap Options for Unique Wedding Locations
Keep things affordable so you can spend more on your dream honeymoon! Check out our top picks for affordable wedding locations that stand out:
- Canteen Food Hall & Bar (Greenwich) – Starting from just £265 per session, this is perfect for a relaxed, modern celebration with street food and riverside views near the O2.
- The Elgin (Maida Vale) – With prices starting around £1,875, this charming and warm pub is great for a casual yet stylish wedding.
- Crypt on the Green (Clerkenwell) – From £50 per hour, this historic crypt offers atmospheric stone arches without the crazy price tag. Great for smaller ceremonies or after-parties.

What’s Usually Included In These Unusual Venue Prices?
Packages vary. Per-person prices often include the space, food, and drinks, while hire fees usually just cover the space itself. Some places throw in extras like furniture, AV equipment, and even lighting, but at others, you might need to bring everything in yourself. Always check the fine print or better yet, message the venue directly through Tagvenue to get a clear breakdown.
How Do I Keep Costs Low When Hiring A Wedding Venue?
Look for weekday or off-peak bookings. Some venues slash prices dramatically for Monday to Thursday events. Also, venues with a minimum spend model can work out cheaper if you’re clever with your catering choices. And remember, a small guest list makes quirky venues feel just right without breaking the bank.
