in Brighton

Higher-end venues reach £5,000 and above. These are venue hire fees (the cost to book the space) and exclude catering, drinks and other supplier costs.
Is venue hire the full cost of a wedding in Brighton?
No. The figures here cover venue hire only. Catering, drinks, photography, flowers and entertainment are charged separately, and together they usually make up well over half of a total wedding budget. Use the hire price as your starting anchor, then build the rest of your budget around it.
Why do venue prices in Brighton vary so much?
Hire fees move with season, day of the week, guest capacity and whether a venue is 'dry hire' or all-inclusive. A peak-summer Saturday at an exclusive-use country house sits at the top of the range; an off-peak weekday at a smaller space sits at the bottom.
