As weddings are becoming increasingly less seasonal, it’s important that your wedding venue offers amenities that can be enjoyed all year round to attract more business. The wedding industry can feel so overwhelming for businesses and couples alike- just take a scroll through social media and there are hundreds and thousands of ideas for how couples can elevate their wedding. It can easily get tiring! 

But if you own a wedding venue or are looking to diversify your accommodation site to become a wedding venue, and aren’t sure where to start- we have put together a few simple ideas for where you can get started…

5 ways to increase your wedding venue revenue

Accommodation Cabins

Many wedding venues don’t include onsite accommodation, which adds an extra cost and stress factor for couples organising their big day. By providing a place to stay on-site, wedding guests can party the night away with no worries about finding their way to a hotel, when their accommodation is a cosy log cabin at the venue! If your site doesn’t have the capacity to accommodate a large amount of overnight guests, even just providing a place for the happy couple and their wedding party to stay is an excellent option, so they can fully enjoy their wedding day and a relaxing morning after. These cabins can be furnished to fit any kind of theme your venue is going for, whether that be an sustainable woodland wedding, a colourful music festival wedding or a classy, rustic themed wedding.

Our glamping cabins come in a range of sizes to suit your venue’s accommodation needs and are made from PEFC/FSC certified Scandinavian Redwood for a cosy, but natural aesthetic.

If you are looking for a more modern option for your wedding venue, our modern lodges provide all the space and home comforts of a hotel room, whilst still blending in with the natural environment, thanks to Redwood or Cedar cladding options. We also have more colourful Marley Board cladding options that are low-maintenance, so that’s one less thing for your site maintenance team to worry about!

Getting Ready Rooms

Reduce the stress of couples potentially arriving late to the venue by creating a preparation space at the wedding location! Couples and their wedding parties can get ready for the ceremony with the peace of mind that (hopefully) no one will be turning up late, and allows them to spend extra time with their loved ones on their special, albeit, busy day.

One of our previous clients Little Seed Field uses their glamping cabins as wedding preparation rooms, as well as accommodation, for couples to get ready on site whilst guests gather in their main wedding ceremony barn.

An additional revenue stream here could be to offer food packages for the wedding parties to enjoy whilst getting ready for the main event. You could collaborate with a local business to provide brunch platters containing snacks and some bubbly beverages to keep everyone fed and hydrated- especially important on the morning of a wedding!

Spa Buildings & Wellness Rooms

After the day’s festivities, the happy couple will no doubt be looking forward to some time to relax, so why not provide them with a place to enjoy a relaxing spa treatment at the end of a busy celebration. This could be offered as part of a package if the couple are staying overnight at your wedding venue, and wedding guests could book spa sessions in advance to enjoy after all their partying! This would be an excellent option for relaxing the next day and extending the celebration with a little “treat yourself” moment.

Our classic glamping cabins and modern lodges can be adapted to become wellness facilities, where you can offer treatment packages and wellness sessions for a more relaxed post-wedding atmosphere.
We also create Scandinavian sauna cabins for you to add to that special private spa experience.

Why not take the luxurious offering to the next level with a hot tub or swim spa from our sister company Hydropool Midlands? They offer a wide range of luxury hot tubs and swim spas, including the world’s only self-cleaning hot tubs- the perfect choice for wedding venues wanting to provide guests with a high-end and unforgettable experience.

BBQ Cabins

Offer something unique and unforgettable at your wedding venue with a BBQ cabin! These log cabins are inspired by Scandinavian Grillkota (grill houses) and have a central BBQ grill for cooking and gathering around, whatever the weather! More and more couples are looking to add unique and unforgettable elements to their wedding to entertain their guests, and what could be greater than toasting marshmallows with loved ones at a cosy autumn or winter wedding? Or guests could cook their own burgers in a BBQ hut during the reception, for some evening entertainment at a summer wedding.

Having exclusive add on packages will give your wedding venue a unique selling point, especially with our Scandinavian-inspired sloping walled BBQ huts being so visually interesting! Not to mention, they can easily keep guests cosy and entertained throughout the evening.

Activity & Workshop Spaces

Another unique experience to offer at weddings would be activities or workshops during the day. You could collaborate with local businesses to host workshops where guests make their own wedding favours, create a karaoke & games room or let the couple organise their own wedding reception activities!

Alternatively, you could create a “chill out” space for guests that need a break from the louder activities at a wedding. This can really help you stand out by offering unique experiences and spaces as part of the wedding packages, so it will be one less thing that couples will have to think about when organising for their big day.
