Wedding reception and evening party venues
Not every wedding needs a wedding venue. For a register office ceremony, a small wedding or an evening party, a pub function room or club suite with a bar and dance floor can cost far less.

What to look for
- Capacity for the evening crowd, which is often bigger than the day
- A dance floor, a DJ space and a late licence
- An evening buffet or food truck
- Space for the cake and a first dance
- Whether the venue holds a wedding licence, if you want the ceremony there too
Questions people ask
Can I get married in a pub function room?
Only if the venue is approved for ceremonies. Many function rooms host receptions and evening parties but not the ceremony itself.
Is a function room cheaper than a wedding venue?
Usually, because pubs and clubs often work on a bar or food spend rather than a venue fee.
