FAQ's

Do any wedding venues in Portsmouth have restrictions on the vendors I can choose?

Yes, some wedding venues in Portsmouth may have restrictions on the vendors you can choose for your wedding. Some venues may have preferred or recommended vendors that they work with regularly, while others may have exclusive contracts with certain vendors. This means that you may be required to use their preferred vendors for services such as catering, floral arrangements, or photography. However, many venues are flexible and allow couples to choose their own vendors, as long as they meet certain requirements, such as having liability insurance or being licensed.

Do Portsmouth venues any restrictions on the type of lighting I can have?

Portsmouth wedding venues may have restrictions on the type of lighting you can have for your wedding. Some venues may prohibit open flames, such as candles or torches, due to fire safety regulations. Others may have restrictions on the type of lighting equipment you can use, such as smoke machines or strobe lights. It's important to discuss your lighting plans with your chosen venue before making any arrangements. They can advise you on what type of lighting is allowed and recommend reputable vendors who can provide the lighting services you need.

Do wedding venues in Portsmouth provide a wedding coordinator as part of the hire?

A wedding coordinator can help you with every aspect of planning your wedding, from selecting vendors to coordinating the wedding day timeline. They can also act as a liaison between you and the venue, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and according to plan. However, not all venues offer this service, so it's important to inquire with your chosen venue about their wedding planning services. If your chosen venue does not provide a wedding coordinator, you can consider hiring a professional wedding planner to help you with the planning process.

Is it more expensive to have outside catering at a Portsmouth wedding?

aving outside catering at a Portsmouth wedding may or may not be more expensive than using the venue's in-house catering services. It depends on the specific caterer you choose and the services they provide. Some outside caterers may offer more competitive pricing than the venue's in-house catering, while others may be more expensive. It's important to shop around and compare prices from different caterers to find the best deal for your budget. Additionally, some venues may charge an additional fee for outside catering, so it's important to inquire about any fees or restrictions before making a final decision.

What types of venue can I hire for a rehearsal dinner in Portsmouth?

Portsmouth offers a range of venues for hosting a rehearsal dinner. If you're looking for a more traditional venue, you can consider booking a private dining room at a local restaurant, such as The Still & West or The Chambers. Alternatively, you could opt for a more unique venue, such as the Spinnaker Tower, which offers panoramic views of Portsmouth Harbour and can accommodate up to 150 guests. Other options include hiring a private yacht for a dinner cruise or booking a private function room at a hotel, such as the Marriott Portsmouth or the Queens Hotel.

Will I have exclusive use of my Portsmouth wedding venue?

Whether or not you have exclusive use of your Portsmouth wedding venue depends on the venue you choose. Some venues offer exclusive use of their facilities, meaning that you will be the only event taking place at the venue on your wedding day. This can be a great option if you want complete privacy and control over the venue's facilities.

It's important to clarify with your chosen venue whether or not you will have exclusive use of the facilities on your wedding day.
