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?
