We continually check our competitor's prices and their Wedding Packages so you don't have to
Our research on 2022/ 2023 rates is uncovering some big increases in venue hire. Check you are not being overcharged.
On around 70 guests, many venues will charge £2,000 to £4,000 more for a summer 2023 wedding than Craig y Nos Castle. This simple fact can get overlooked in all the complicated information on different packages and seasonal rates you will collect from various venues.
There is a lot of data on other venues' pricing here. Some needs updating still.
- The key take-away is how the 'total cost per head' is affected by 'venue hire'. If venue hire is high, say £2,000 to £4,000, this increases your 'total cost per head'. On 70 guests, venue hire of 3,000 will cost you an extra £42.86/guest, on £4,000, an extra £57.14/guest. This is how you can get from around £95 to £100/ guest for the Wedding Breakfast, Drinks Package and Evening Buffet, to a 'total cost' of over £150 a head - a huge difference if you have 70 guests or more.
- Having fewer guests will increase 'cost per head'. If you have only 50 guests, a £3k venue hire will cost you £60 per guest, a £4,000 venue hire £80 a guest, giving rise to total cost per head of £160 to £180. There are a handful of venues that do not charge venue hire (as far as we could find) which reduces costs more in line with Craig y Nos Castle.
Venue Hire effect on overall Package Cost - & Cost per Guest *Assumes average charge of £95 per head for the Wedding Breakfast, Drinks Package & Evening Buffet before venue hire added at different rates £500 - £7000. Check a venue's hire rate, then see effect of 'venue hire' on the 'cost per guest' based on your own guest numbers. Fewer guests means 'cost per guest' works out higher, when venue hire divided by fewer people. | |||||
