Choosing your venue means laying the first stone. It is the place that will set the tone, the mood, the emotion of the whole day. In Belgium the choice is real: from classic châteaux to renovated farms, by way of lofts and gardens. We have gathered here the approved venues from the directory, sorted by type rather than by province, because that is how you look for a venue.

What sort of place do you picture?

Six families, and the number of venues actually available behind each one.

Or by province

Supply is not spread evenly across the provinces. That is why the province is a filter here, and not a page of its own.

How to choose your reception venue

  1. 1Define your moodCountry, industrial, classic, boho? Your venue should reflect who you are as a couple.
  2. 2Think logisticsCapacity, parking, accommodation on site, accessibility. The details make all the difference.
  3. 3Check the exclusivity clausesSome venues impose their own caterer or limit the hours. Ask the question at the first visit.
  4. 4Visit in the right seasonA venue that is beautiful in summer can look very different in winter. Visit in the season of your wedding.
  5. 5Negotiate the packageMany venues offer all inclusive packages. Compare the options before signing.

The five questions to ask on the visit

  • What is the maximum number of guests for a seated meal and for a standing cocktail?
  • Is there a caterer we have to use, or is the choice free?
  • Until what time can music be played?
  • Are rooms available on site, for you and for the guests?
  • What exactly does the rental price include: furniture, sound system, parking?

What it costs

According to the wedding cost barometer, couples budget a median of €2,700 for the reception venue, and half of them between €1,500 and €4,000. It is the second-biggest item in the budget, after catering.

The date drives the price: 71% of weddings take place on a Saturday, and June, July and September account for more than half of them. These are the most sought-after slots, and often the most expensive. After that come the length of the booking, evening only or the whole weekend with rooms, and what the hire includes. Compare quotes like for like.

Hiring a wedding venue: the two questions that matter

The real capacity

Start from your real guest list, not the one you dream of. A venue often quotes two figures: standing reception and seated dinner. Only the second one counts for the meal, and it drops as soon as you add a dance floor, a buffet or a DJ corner. Ask for the seated capacity with the dance floor in place, and visit the room laid out rather than empty. On the directory listings, ‘up to’ is a maximum: check it against your own layout.

Your own caterer or the venue’s

This is the question that weighs most on the bill, because food is the biggest item in the budget. A venue with an exclusive caterer works with its own kitchen or a short list of approved suppliers: the service runs smoothly on site, but you cannot play quotes off against each other. A venue that lets you choose your own caterer means you can compare several quotes, at the cost of a little more coordination on the day. Also ask whether corkage is charged on drinks you bring yourself, and what the hire includes: furniture, crockery, table linen, staff, cleaning.
