Connecting Britain's most discerning couples with the UK's finest wedding venues through transparent competitive bidding
Born from frustration with the opaque and time-consuming traditional venue booking process
VenueVows was founded on a simple but revolutionary premise: wedding venue booking in the UK is broken, and couples deserve better. After witnessing countless friends and family members struggle through months of endless venue research, countless phone calls, and opaque pricing structures, we knew there had to be a better way.
Traditional venue booking forces couples into an exhausting process of individually contacting dozens of venues, often waiting weeks for responses, only to receive vague quotes that don't properly reflect the true cost. Meanwhile, many of Britain's most spectacular venues – from historic castles in the Scottish Highlands to charming barns in the Cotswolds – remain undiscovered by couples who would absolutely love them.
Our platform flips this antiquated system on its head. Instead of couples chasing venues, venues compete for couples. Instead of opaque pricing, we demand transparent, detailed proposals. Instead of lengthy back-and-forth negotiations, couples receive competitive bids that showcase exactly what each venue offers and at what price.
We've transformed wedding planning from stressful to spectacular
Britain is home to thousands of spectacular wedding venues that most couples never discover. From family-owned estates that have been hosting celebrations for generations to boutique hotels tucked away in the Lake District, our platform gives you access to venues you'd never find through traditional searches.
Our venue partners range from grand castles and manor houses to converted barns, unique industrial spaces, and luxury hotels – each offering something special for your perfect day.
Across England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland
£3,500 per couple through competitive bidding
When venues compete for your business, prices naturally come down whilst service quality goes up. Our transparent bidding process means no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no lengthy negotiations. What you see in a venue's proposal is exactly what you'll pay.
Couples using VenueVows typically save thousands of pounds compared to traditional booking methods, whilst often securing better packages and additional services that venues offer to stand out from the competition.
We help exceptional venues connect with their ideal couples
For wedding venues, traditional marketing often feels like shouting into the void. You might have the most spectacular castle in Scotland or the most charming barn in Devon, but if couples don't know you exist, those Saturday nights remain empty and your business suffers.
VenueVows changes everything. Instead of hoping couples will find you through Google searches or expensive wedding fairs, our platform puts your venue directly in front of couples who are actively planning weddings and whose requirements perfectly match what you offer. When a couple posts a wedding request for 80 guests in the Cotswolds with a barn preference, you're immediately notified if you fit their criteria.
Our venue partners love the platform because it eliminates time-wasting enquiries from couples who aren't serious or whose requirements don't match. Every lead you receive through VenueVows is pre-qualified – couples have committed to their wedding plans, confirmed their budgets, and are actively comparing proposals. This means higher conversion rates, better-quality bookings, and more profitable business.
Plus, our competitive bidding system rewards venues that offer exceptional value and service, not just those with the biggest marketing budgets. Whether you're a family-run venue or part of a larger group, you compete on a level playing field based purely on what you offer couples.
