Choosing a Wedding Venue with Accommodation for Your Special Day

Extend the celebrations and make your wedding a real family get-together with onsite accommodation.

Choosing a venue with accommodation makes the wedding logistics easier for everyone and gives you more time to spend together.

We love the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of having all your guests under the same roof.

Choosing The Perfect Wedding Venue With Accommodation

When choosing a wedding venue with accommodation for guests, what do you need to consider?

  • How many people require accommodation? Send accommodation information with the wedding invitations and ask guests to RSVP 
  • Is accommodation included in your wedding package? If so, for how many guests? Do the numbers match up? 
  • Does anyone need accommodation the night before the wedding and on the wedding night? (A multi-day wedding package might be a good idea if a lot of people want to make a weekend of it) 
  • Is there a honeymoon suite, and is it included? 
  • Where will you stay the night before the wedding? For example, Williton Lodge at St Audries Park is designed for the bridal party to stay on the wedding eve 
  • Does anyone have special requirements, such as an accessible room or a family suite? Can a cot be provided? 
  • Does the accommodation accept dogs? 
  • How will you allocate rooms if the accommodation is divided between the main venue, self-catering and a local inn or hotel? 

types of

Wedding Venues Available

What type of wedding venues typically have onsite guest accommodation?

Barn Wedding Venue

Where will you and your guests stay if you plan a rustic wedding in a traditional old barn? There may be rooms in the farmhouse or glamping on the farm, or the venue may have an arrangement with a local provider. At Leez Priory, you have exclusive use of the estate if you book a wedding in the lovely old Coach House Barn.

Country Houses

A country house is perfect if you’re looking for a luxury wedding venue with accommodation. Choose a venue that offers exclusive use hire so that you and your guests will be the only people staying. With the ceremony, reception and party all under one roof, it simply makes sense to spend the night there as well.

Castles

Staying the night in a castle definitely sounds tempting, and it’s an offer that will undoubtedly appeal to your guests! Again, if it’s an exclusive-use wedding venue, you and your guests can call the castle your own for a night or two. Clearwell Castle offers a range of accommodation in both the main venue and grounds, including elegant four-poster and tester beds inside the romantic castle itself.

Finalising Your Venue Choice

Are you almost ready to make a decision?

Booking Early
The earlier you can book, the better. You’ll have more time to prepare and rest easy knowing that your preferred wedding venue is safely secured.

Customise Your Venue
Can you customise your chosen venue, creating the perfect look and feel for your wedding? Again, the more time you have, the better you can plan your wedding day theme.

Choose A Perfect Location
Is the venue easy for you and most of your guests to reach? The advantage of a wedding venue with accommodation is that even your farthest-flung friends should be able to attend.

to consider

What specific factors do you need to consider when planning guest accommodation?

Family Requirements

Choosing a wedding venue with accommodation is wise if you’re considering your family’s needs. It allows you to arrange adjoining rooms for parents with young children or check for family suites that keep everyone together. This setup makes it easier to cater to specific needs, whether it’s a quiet room for grandparents or extra space for siblings. Having accommodation on-site also simplifies logistics so everyone can focus on celebrating with you.

Bedrooms and Guest Accommodation

What sort of bedrooms do your guests need? Speak to your venue about accessible, ground floor, family, and pet-friendly rooms.

Catering Services

What additional catering is available for guests staying at the wedding venue? If you’ve chosen an all-inclusive wedding like the Country House Wedding Two-Day Luxe Package, the wedding eve evening meal is included along with breakfast on both days. Are there self-catering options for guests who prefer to prepare their own food?

Here are a few more practical factors to consider when booking your wedding venue with accommodation.

Benefits Of A Wedding Venue With Accommodation

Here’s why onsite accommodation at the wedding venue is such a good idea.

Convenience For Guests

The traditional phrase “carriages at midnight” is beautifully evocative. Still, the reality is guests often scramble for late-night taxis (which aren’t always easy to come by in a rural setting). If your guests have booked overnight accommodation, they can relax, enjoy a glass or two of sparkly, and know they won’t have to make their own way home at the end of the evening.

If your guests are travelling to the wedding, they’ll be relieved to know that accommodation has been taken care of, especially if it’s in unfamiliar territory. Again, onsite accommodation helps your guests relax and enjoy themselves.

Extended Celebrations

Not only can the party and conversation carry on well into the night, but it can continue into the next day. You can all meet up again at breakfast, go over the wedding day’s highlights, and simply enjoy spending more time together. If you and your loved ones want a longer time together, a weekend or two-day wedding is a wonderful way to extend the occasion.

Stress-Free Planning

Having everything in a single site, including accommodation, makes things easier for everyone. At Country House Weddings, we’re delighted to say that all our wedding venues offer quality guest accommodation.

their wedding stories.

I couldn’t recommend the venue enough…

Leez Priory were so supportive throughout the wedding planning and our wedding planner, Sophie, on the day knew when she needed to be strict with guests or suppliers, which was needed! Sophie was always on hand throughout the day and was always by my side when I needed to ask a question.

If I could do it all over again, we would 100% go back to Leez Priory, and we can’t wait to go back and visit one day soon.

I couldn’t recommend the venue enough and if you’re thinking about booking a viewing, do it! You won’t regret it.

From the moment we booked, the team have been fabulous!

We could not have wished for a more picturesque venue with such catering staff. Any requests we had were sorted and we knew that someone was always a phone call or email away. We were supported throughout the experience which made it more effortless for us as a couple planning the biggest day of our lives. We were made to feel that no question was a stupid question even if we thought it might be.

Overall, the Clearwell Castle staff are amazing, from the wedding managers to the bar staff and cleaners! Thank you so much for making our day the most special it could be. Our guests are still talking about it now all these months on.

A Magical Day!

Firstly… We would like to say our day could not have gone any better!

We had viewed over 10 other venues, and we chose Gosfield Hall and so grateful we did. The staff were so honest, helpful, calm, encouraging and genuinely interested in us and our special day. Plus, there is so much included in terms of decor (flowers throughout) stunning grounds which you do not have to spend loads of extra money on to make the place look pretty. 

Overall, food was fantastic, great service, well-kept grounds, amazing staff, and everything in between.

Everything ran smoothly and perfectly

Donna, our Personal Wedding Manager helped us have the most incredible day of our lives. Everything ran smoothly and perfectly, there was nothing to fault. We did not even need to set anything up ourselves on the actual morning of the wedding. Donna was so good at keeping us updated and was always at the end of the phone if I needed to speak to her, it just made the process stress free.

We will definitely be coming back to celebrate our first anniversary at a dinner date event. We would like to thank everyone at Bourton Hall.

Tips For Booking Your Wedding Venue With Accommodation

Are you almost ready to make a decision?

Early Booking Advantages
The earlier you book, the better. You and your guests will be able to relax, knowing that everything is in place. Some venues may offer special rates for early accommodation booking. 

Guest Accommodation Arrangements
Ensure you include accommodation options as part of the wedding invitation, and ask your guests to include their accommodation needs (or not) in their RSVP. Allocating bedrooms can feel like a sliding puzzle; however, the wedding venue will be able to help you with this.

Conclusion

A wedding venue with accommodation extends the celebrations, and if you’ve booked an exclusive use venue, you’ll all feel at home in your very own mansion, manor house or castle. At Country House Weddings, we offer a selection of accommodation at all our venues across England.
