Planning your dream wedding is exciting, but let's be honest: navigating the costs and understanding the quotes can be one of the most challenging parts. What does 'venue hire' actually include? Why do prices vary so much between seasons? And what is the true value you're getting for your investment?
As experts in creating unforgettable events, we want to demystify the process for you. This guide will explain the key factors that influence the cost of a wedding venue in Lincolnshire, empowering you to plan your perfect day with clarity and confidence.
What's Typically Included in a Venue Hire Fee?
When you see a 'venue hire fee', it's often more than just the keys to the building for a day. At a quality, exclusive-use venue like The Sessions House, this fee is the foundation of your experience. It typically covers:
Exclusive Use of the Venue: This is paramount. It means for the entire duration of your hire, the only people in the building are you, your loved ones, and the staff dedicated to your event. No strangers, no other parties – just complete privacy.
Your Chosen Spaces: The fee grants you access to the agreed-upon spaces for your ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast, and evening party.
A Dedicated Team: The support of a professional events team, including a dedicated coordinator, to ensure your day runs flawlessly from start to finish.
Core Furnishings: This includes the use of standard tables, beautiful chairs (like our hand-carved wooden chairs), and other essential furniture.
Key Factors That Influence the Final Price
While the venue hire forms the foundation, several key variables will shape your final, bespoke quote.
Your Guest Count: This is the single biggest factor. A higher guest count requires more space, more staffing, more furniture, and, of course, more catering.
Time of Year: A Saturday wedding in the peak of August will naturally have a higher demand (and price) than a Tuesday in January. If you're flexible with your dates, choosing an off-peak or mid-week wedding is the most effective way to manage your budget.
Your Food & Drink Choices: Your culinary experience is a huge part of the day. A formal, three-course seated meal will have a different price point than a relaxed buffet, street-food-style catering in the courtyard, or a simple canapé reception.
The Unparalleled Value of a Historic Venue
When comparing costs, it's vital to consider the value. A historic venue like The Sessions House offers benefits that can't be quantified. The awe-inspiring backdrop for your photographs, the sense of occasion that comes from celebrating in a magnificent Grade II listed building, and the story you get to tell for years to come are all part of your investment. Every wedding held here also contributes to the preservation of this irreplaceable Spalding landmark.
