YOUR WEDDING QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
The venue, the guestlist, the food, the dress… there’s so much to think about when planning a wedding. We’re here to make it feel easier.
To help with your planning, our wedding team has put their heads together and answered the most common questions we get asked about weddings at The Venue.
How many guests can I have at my wedding?
We’re flexible at The Venue. We can host over 80 daytime guests and up to 350 for the evening, but we’re just as happy hosting smaller, more intimate celebrations if that’s your style.
Do you welcome and cater for children?
Absolutely! Children are always welcome at The Venue.
Can I have my wedding ceremony in Eskmills?
Yes, we’re licensed for weddings both indoors and outdoors. Walk down the aisle in our elegant indoor ceremony space with pews and music, or say your vows in our tranquil garden ceremony area, complete with a stage, outdoor seating, and a garden room for signing the register.
Can we get married outside at The Venue?
Yes, weather permitting, you can say "I do" in our peaceful Eden Garden. Our Event Manager will call you at 11 am on your wedding day to confirm if your ceremony can go ahead outside.
What kind of ceremonies or celebrants can we have?
It’s your day, so you can choose the ceremony and celebrant that feel right for you. Please get in touch if you'd like some recommendations.
Can we provide our own catering?
No, but you’re in safe hands with our three fantastic catering partners. They’ll take care of your wedding feast so you can focus on your day.
Is there accommodation at the venue?
We don’t have accommodation on-site, but we can share a list of excellent places for you and your guests to stay nearby.
How much is the deposit?
We ask for a deposit of 50% of your booking value to secure your date, with the remaining balance due 12 weeks before your wedding.
Do we get exclusive use of the whole venue?
Yes, you get the whole place to yourselves. Our weddings include exclusive use of The Venue, the courtyard, and our Eden Garden.
Can you recommend suppliers?
Yes, we have a list of trusted local suppliers we’re happy to share to help you plan your day.
Can we have our pet in the venue?
No, unfortunately, we can’t allow pets inside The Venue due to health and safety legislation.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Yes, it’s important to us that everyone can enjoy The Venue. Everything is on one level, and we have an accessible toilet in the main reception area.
What time does the bar close?
