Ceremony venues provide spaces for people to hold formal or personal occasions, most commonly weddings and civil partnership ceremonies. They may include hotels, country houses, historic buildings, barns, gardens, dedicated event spaces and places of worship. Some venues are approved for civil ceremonies, while others provide a setting for a celebrant-led or symbolic ceremony; arrangements depend on the type of ceremony and the relevant local rules. Customers can typically expect a choice of indoor and, where available, outdoor spaces, with options for different guest numbers and seating layouts. Venues may offer room hire, tables and chairs, ceremony furniture, preparation rooms and access for guests with mobility needs. Some provide event coordination, catering, refreshments, decoration, audio equipment or spaces for a reception, while others allow customers to arrange these separately.
