How many guests can I have at my wedding?

We’re flexible here at The Venue. Our wedding parties can cater for over 80 day guests and up to 350 evening guests. But we can also keep it small and intimate, if you prefer.

Do you welcome and cater for children?

Of course! Children are more than welcome at The Venue.

Can I have my wedding ceremony in Eskmills?

Yes, we’re licensed so you can hold your wedding ceremony inside or outside at The Venue. Choose to walk down the aisle in our elegant Victorian mill with pews, music, and a ceremony table. Or take it outside to our tranquil Eden Garden ceremony area, complete with a stage, outdoor seating, and a garden room for signing the register.

Is there an option to get married OUTDOORS at The Venue?
