As a general guide, expect to pay between £5,000 and £20,000 for your venue hire. It's recommended to start looking for a venue at least 12 to 18 months in advance, especially if your wedding is during peak season (May-September). This will give you ample time to tour venues, compare prices, and secure your desired date.
