How Much Does it Cost to Rent a Wedding Venue?

How much does it cost to rent a wedding venue

There is simply no way around the fact that wedding room rates are usually the highest of any spaces. The planning is often complex and time-intensive and venues usually include extensive amenities.

Some hosts are happy to rent for weddings on an hourly basis while others charge a full-day rate, especially on weekends. Count on a cost of at least $200 with a four-hour minimum. On the other end of the spectrum, lavish rentals can fetch over $500 an hour with a full wedding day rate of $5,000- $10,000. 

Let’s take a look at the venues we listed above for pricing examples.

Luxury home in Stanford

On the higher end of the spectrum, let’s use the Stanford luxury home as an example. It costs $800 per hour and has a six-hour rental minimum. While that may not be an option for every budget, this is a wedding venue that allows for complete privacy and customization.

The hip rustic loft in Chicago

This hip, urban industrial loft in Chicago is a stellar example of what to expect at a media price point. It is $275 per hour and has a four-hour rental minimum. The host also offers a PA system, a projector, and a piano as add-on services.

The Los Feliz tropical paradise

The enchanted rainforest event space in Los Feliz is $145 an hour and has a four-hour rental minimum. It’s a 6,000 square-foot tropical outdoor space loaded with unique perks. Along with all of the amazing features this space already includes, you can also add on a PA system, extra tables and chairs, and even games.

The NYC exotic restaurant

Although you can find great deals, including with the West Village restaurant and lounge, they may be more of an exception rather than the rule. It is just $150 per hour with a three-hour rental minimum. They offer you several dining and mingling spaces to enjoy and a lavish selection of Mediterranean cuisine for an added charge.

If you’re on a tight budget, get creative with your venue selection. You can even consider beautiful spaces that aren’t usually wedding venues, like open-plan loft spaces or eclectic warehouses.
