Websites for event and wedding venues
Couples, families and event planners shortlist venues online, often months ahead, and they want to see the spaces, know how many people fit and get a feel for the price before they visit. I build venue websites that show all of that and turn interest into date enquiries.
What a venue site needs
- Each space with its capacity
- Photos from real events
- Catering and decor packages
- Parking, rooms and access
- Date enquiries that qualify
Getting onto the shortlist
People choosing a venue usually start with three filters: the date, the number of guests and the budget. Then they look at photos and location. A venue site that makes capacity and starting prices easy to find, and shows each space dressed for a real event, gets onto the shortlist far more often than one that says "contact us for details".
The enquiry form should ask for exactly what you need to reply properly: the event type, preferred dates, guest count, catering needs and budget range. That saves you a round of questions and makes your reply arrive while they're still deciding.
What I build for venues
Space pages
Each hall, lawn or room with its capacity for seated and standing events, and photos.
Event types
Weddings, receptions, corporate events and parties, each with what you offer.
Packages
Catering menus, decor options and what's included, with starting prices.
Guest stays
Rooms for guests on site or nearby, and transport arrangements.
Getting there
Directions, parking capacity and access for older guests.
Enquiries
A form for date, guests and budget, plus WhatsApp for quick questions.
Search and reviews
Venue searches combine an event type and a place, so each kind of event you host deserves its own page. Your Google Business Profile matters as much: couples read venue reviews closely, and a calm, specific reply to a complaint shows how you'd handle their day.
Ask every host for a review a few days after the event, when the photos arrive. A short link or a review card makes it easy.
Questions venue owners ask me
Can the site show which dates are free?
It can, with an availability calendar your staff update, but many venues prefer an enquiry form that asks for the date and guest count and lets them reply with options. A calendar that isn't kept up to date does more harm than none.
Should package prices be public?
A starting price per plate or per package helps couples and planners shortlist you, and filters out enquiries that will never fit. Final prices can follow the enquiry, once you know the date and numbers.
What photos work best?
Photos from real events in each space, at the capacity they were set for, plus empty shots that show the room clearly. Ask your photographers' permission and credit them. Stock photos of other venues are easy to spot and hurt trust.

Tell me about your spaces, capacities and the events you host most. I'll suggest how the site should present them.
