Are you currently looking for a wedding venue? Why not try going for a Pub wedding venue instead?
The rise of the Pub wedding venue have become a popular choice for couples who would like to have a relaxed and chill vibes on their wedding day.
During the early stages of my wedding planning, my initial thoughts was to hire a hall which can cater a large number of people perfect for weddings with 50+ guests. However, due to COVID and as my husband and I have agreed on having an intimate wedding with less number of guests instead, we then came into conclusion that a Pub wedding venue would be perfect.
As the UK is rich is Pubs it is guaranteed that there is at least one within cities, towns or even small villages. Hence, making it an easy task for us to find the perfect venue. However, as there are a lot of Pubs dotted around, it made it harder for us to narrow our selection down.
To help you with making a decision if Pub wedding venue is perfect for your wedding here are the Pros and Cons
PROS
Amazing traditional food selection
Intimate setting
Character feature (i.e. Pub interior and exterior) – instead of working against the interior work your way around it.
Homey, relaxed and cosy environment
Child Friendly
Pet Friendly (check with your Pub)
Spacious Parking (usually Pubs have their own car park)
Amazing Location (specially those located on the country side)
Affordable compared to high end restaurants
CONS
Dependent on the size of the Pub you may be restricted with your number of guests
Location Access – unlike restaurants, some pubs are situated in areas with limited public transport.
Expensive especially if you need to rent the entire pub for the entire day.
Dependent on the selected Pub your menu may be restricted to what the Pub can offer
Privacy – Some Pubs may still open their business to the public dependent on your agreement.

PUB WEDDING VENUE EXPERIENCE
Going for a Pub wedding venue is a great option when planning for your big day. I do recommend this as me and my husband have taken this route. We were able to save a lot more as going for a Pub venue means we have the venue and caterer all included plus we have a bar that serves various drink options. Also, we were offered free speakers for our sounds, exclusive designated area for privacy and the NO time limit (i.e. we were able to use the venue for however long we wanted).
There are various venue options from hotels, wedding halls and exclusive wedding venues such as castle, barns and listed buildings. Choosing your venue is all dependent on you and your partner. To help you decide create a pros and cons list for each venue option this way you can narrow down your choices.
Lastly, Enjoy the whole experience.
