FAQ's

What is the average cost of a hotel wedding venue in Leicestershire?

The cost can vary widely, but couples typically budget from £5,000 to over £15,000. This depends on the guest count, the day of the week, the season, and the package inclusions. Many Leicestershire hotels offer set packages which can make budgeting clearer.

Do Leicestershire hotel venues require us to use their in-house caterers?

Almost always, yes. Hotels pride themselves on their culinary offerings, and in-house catering is a core part of their wedding service. This ensures high quality and a seamless experience, as their teams are familiar with the kitchens and service flow.

Are there hotel wedding venues in Leicestershire that can accommodate large guest lists?

Absolutely. Leicestershire is home to several large country house hotels and modern city hotels with grand ballrooms and function suites capable of hosting weddings for 200 guests or more. You can often filter your search by capacity to find these larger venues.

How do we get a marriage licence for a wedding in a Leicestershire hotel?

First, ensure your chosen hotel is officially licensed for civil ceremonies. You must then both give notice of marriage at your local register office at least 29 days before your ceremony. You will need to name your licensed Leicestershire venue when you give notice.

Do hotel venues in Leicestershire offer exclusive use for weddings?

This varies by venue. Many boutique and country house hotels offer exclusive-use packages, guaranteeing you complete privacy for your celebration. Larger city hotels may host multiple events on the same day, so it's essential to discuss your privacy preferences with the wedding coordinator.

How far in advance should we book a hotel wedding venue in Leicestershire?

For popular hotels, especially for a Saturday during the summer months, it's recommended to book 12 to 18 months in advance to secure your desired date. For weekday or off-season weddings, you may find more flexibility and availability with a shorter lead time.
