Top Features to Look for in a Rustic Wedding Venue
There's no better place than the UK if you plan your wedding outdoors. Giggster can help you locate an estate with sprawling grounds or a centrally situated barn for your grand event. Here is a list of top features a party venue must have to qualify as a barn-style wedding venue.
Will you have exclusive use of the barn wedding venue? You can exclusively use a barn wedding venue if it's available as a full buyout. However, an event space might only give you access to the rented party room.
Is the venue accessible? Most barns have ample space on-site for parking, but it may not be as organised as you would find at a standard wedding venue. If the estate is in a hilly, expect accessibility and navigation challenges.
What location features make the barn stand out from others? An estate with a red barn is an ideal rustic wedding setting. Venues outside the city are more adaptable, and barns typically include hilly landscapes and towering trees.
Planning Your Rustic Wedding
Organising a wedding is easier with Giggster's carefully selected listings of barn wedding locations. Once you find the perfect barn venue, you only have to ensure the special day goes off without a hitch. Our handy tips can help you plan an exclusive occasion to celebrate your nuptials surrounded by loved ones.
Choose the Best Venue – Depending on your needs, you can set the stage for your rustic nuptials by renting an easy-to-reach estate or a barn on the outskirts. A hotel is an excellent choice for a weekend-long affair, while an event centre provides a blank canvas to transform into your ideal barn setting.
Decorate the Venue with Rustic Elements – Use rustic decorations and wooden accents to transform the location into your personalised country-chic setting. Fairy lights, lanterns, and chandeliers will instantly elevate the romantic atmosphere. You should also add wildflowers, flower arches, burlap and lace, and wooden signs to the space.
Create a Barn-approved Menu – A barn setting pairs well with an alfresco-style feast. Treat guests to a barbecue, farm-to-table experience, or family-style dinner. Include rustic-themed touches like serving drinks in mason jar cups or setting up wooden pallet drink stations.
Optimise the Space – Barns can host the ceremony, reception, and after-party. Set up a lounge area with mismatched furniture, a handcrafted bar with wooden barrels, and a bonfire area for the night.
Rustic Wedding Hidden Costs
Planning a wedding is expected to cost a tidy sum, especially in a barn setting. However, there are different ways to stay within your budget and have a beautiful and memorable day. One option is to rent an affordable barn wedding space from our website; these other tips can also help.
Rent an estate.
A private city estate can create the perfect backdrop for your rustic nuptials and cost less than planning the logistics of getting hitched at a ranch on the outskirts. All it takes is using the right decorations to transform the venue into a country-chic wedding setting.
Can you rent during an off-peak time?
Weekday bookings usually cost less than Saturday reservations, so schedule your nuptials on Friday. Sundays are generally also slower rental days for wedding venues, so consider planning your ceremony then to benefit from lower off-peak rates.
Can you plan an exclusive and intimate wedding?
A smaller guest count will save you money; you can choose a more intimate and affordable venue when hosting fewer people. With thoughtful touches, it will also make your gathering more exclusive.
