Wedding venues are priced in very different ways, which makes them hard to compare. Some charge only for hiring the space (dry hire), and you bring in caterers, drinks and furniture; some sell all-inclusive packages for a set number of guests; and hotels often charge per head for a package of food, drink and room hire. Prices also swing by season and day of the week, with summer Saturdays costing the most.
This guide covers eight Surrey venues that publish their wedding prices, from a Grade I manor house and a castle to oak barns and a country house hotel. We checked each detail against the venues' own websites and price lists in October 2026; prices are as published then and several venues say they change. Many well-known venues, including Loseley Park and Denbies, don't publish prices, so they aren't here. The photo shows Farnham Castle.

Before you book
Work out the real total. A dry-hire barn still needs caterers, drinks and staff on top of the venue fee, while an all-inclusive price already covers most of the day. Check whether prices include VAT (only West Horsley Place and Wotton House say so), the guest numbers the price is based on, the cost of extra guests, ceremony fees, the finishing time, and deposits. Weekdays and winter dates are much cheaper almost everywhere.
Then fill in the rest: our guides to marquee and tipi hire, wedding caterers, mobile bars, wedding photographers and bridal hair and makeup.
Next on the list: wedding florists in Surrey, with bouquet prices and minimum spends.
