How exclusive use works
Booking a whole venue is simpler than it sounds. Here is how it works, from your first search to your wedding weekend.
- Find your venue
Search by date, region and how many guests you need to sleep. Availability is live, so you only see venues that are free.
- Send an enquiry
Tell us your date and numbers. Our team checks the details with the venue and holds your date while you decide.
- It's all yours
Arrive on Friday, marry on Saturday, relax on Sunday – the whole venue, just for you and your guests.
Why choose an exclusive use wedding?
An exclusive use wedding means the whole venue is yours – every bedroom, the reception rooms, the kitchen and the grounds – for the length of your stay. There are no other guests, no shared spaces and no one asking you to wrap up at midnight. It feels less like hiring a venue and more like borrowing a country home for the weekend.
Because your closest guests stay on site, the celebration does not stop after the first dance. Most couples arrive on Friday for welcome drinks, marry on Saturday and finish with a long, lazy breakfast on Sunday. Nobody needs a taxi home, and the people who matter most are with you from start to finish.
Some of our venues hold a wedding licence, so you can marry in the house or the grounds. Others are perfect for the reception, with a register office or church a short drive away. In Scotland, an authorised celebrant can marry you almost anywhere. Each venue page explains exactly what is possible there.
Exclusive use also gives you freedom. You choose the timings, the layout and the feel of the day, from where the dance floor goes to how late the party runs. Prices depend on the venue, the season and the number of nights, and one price covers both the venue and the rooms for your guests.
Planning is simpler too. Instead of booking a ceremony venue, a reception venue and a block of hotel rooms, you book one place and everyone is together. Our team handles the enquiry with the venue for you, checks your date and answers questions along the way, so you can focus on the parts you enjoy.
Questions couples ask
What does exclusive use mean?
You hire the whole venue – every bedroom, the reception rooms and the grounds – so there are no other guests for your stay. It is the closest thing to holding your wedding at your own country house, with the space set up exactly as you want it.
Can we get married at the venue?
Venues with a wedding licence can host your ceremony on site, indoors or in the grounds. Others welcome receptions, with a register office or church nearby for the legal ceremony. In Scotland, an authorised celebrant can marry you almost anywhere. Each venue page shows what is possible.
How many guests can stay?
Our venues sleep from around 9 to 80 guests, so you can choose anything from an intimate wedding to a full house of family and friends. Extra day and evening guests can often join the celebration, and our team can tell you the limit for each venue.
How much does an exclusive use wedding cost?
Prices depend on the venue, the season, the day of the week and how many nights you book. Summer Saturdays are the most in demand, while midweek and off-season dates cost less. Pick your dates in the search to see which venues are free.
How far ahead should we book?
Most couples book 12 to 24 months ahead, and summer weekends go first. Spring, autumn, winter and midweek dates are easier to find at shorter notice. Enter your dates in the search above to check live availability across every venue.
