Wedding venue hire cost
in Edinburgh
Hire starts from £275, typically around £1,200 — from 9 venues in our directory.
These are venue hire fees — the cost to book the space — drawn from 9 wedding venues in Edinburgh listed on Shortlist Wedding. They are starting (“from”) prices, so the figure for your date and guest count may sit higher.
They exclude catering, drinks, photography, flowers and other supplier costs, which typically add up to more than the venue itself. Treat the hire fee as your anchor, then build the rest of the budget around it. These prices reflect our current listings in Edinburgh, not a market-wide survey.

How much does it cost to hire a wedding venue in Edinburgh?
Based on 9 venues listed on Shortlist Wedding, wedding venue hire in Edinburgh starts from around £275, with a typical (median) starting price of about £1,200. Higher-end venues reach £1,500 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 Edinburgh?
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 Edinburgh 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.
