Destination Wedding Planning UK

A wedding weekend venue is a property that allows you to extend your celebration beyond just one day, typically offering accommodation and multiple event spaces where you can host pre-wedding gatherings, your main wedding day, and post-wedding celebrations such as brunches or casual gatherings the day after. These venues are specifically designed to accommodate guests for multiple days, creating a more immersive and connected celebration experience.

No, RUMA Events' venue finding service comes at absolutely no cost to you. Our service is completely free as we have established relationships with venues throughout the UK, allowing us to secure preferential rates while providing our expertise at zero cost to couples planning their wedding celebrations.

Wedding venues with Day 2 options typically offer various spaces for continued celebrations such as:

• Informal garden areas for barbecues

• Private dining rooms for post-wedding brunches

• Casual pub-style spaces for relaxed gatherings

• Outdoor areas for activities and games

• Flexible spaces that can be transformed from formal to casual settings

For wedding weekend venues, especially those offering exclusive use for multiple days, we recommend booking 12-18 months in advance. Popular venues with weekend availability can be booked up to two years ahead, particularly for peak season dates. RUMA Events can help you identify venues with suitable availability based on your preferred dates.
