The best weekend wedding venues in the UK

For those who want to extend their wedding celebrations across an entire weekend (and why wouldn’t you), we’ve rounded-up the best weekend wedding venues in the UK - so you can turn your nuptials into a multi-day affair! From beautiful country houses nestled in acres of parkland, to historic castles and sprawling woodland venues, these versatile spots come with accommodation, catering and entertainment built in.

Searching for a wedding venue that’s able to host multi-day weddings? The first thing you should look for is a venue with accommodation, allowing you and your guests to stay the night, either before or after the day itself (or both!). Many of these places offer at least one, if not two or three, night hire so you can keep the merriment going across the whole weekend. Some offer rooms for just the happy couple and close family, while others boast enough accommodation to host the whole wedding party.

When it comes to choosing a multi-day wedding venue, we'd recommend opting for one that also offers in-house catering. Hosting guests over multiple days means you’ll need to provide lots of extra meals for everyone, be it a welcome dinner on the Friday evening to a fabulous farewell brunch on the final day. Having a dedicated team on site will make this much easier to manage, and removes the need to bring in multiple external suppliers. Trust us - you don't want to be organising meals for everyone during your special few days.

Finally, while there are many wedding venues out there that boast accommodation, not all of them are dedicated weekend wedding venues, so it’s worth asking the team beforehand whether they’ve hosted many multi-day weddings in the past. Offering the happy couple a suite for the night is very different to planning a two or three-day wedding itinerary. We have every confidence you’ll find the perfect multi-day wedding venue in this list, but if you’re struggling to find somewhere that ticks every box, you can always use our free venue-finding concierge service for an extra helping hand. Our dedicated concierge team can make expert recommendations based on your preferences – simply fill out the form and we’ll do the rest!
