The average cost of wedding in the UK is a staggering £27k! The majority of which is spent on hiring out out the perfect venue for the ceremony and reception, and venues across the UK are cashing in. Old barns are being converted into luxury halls, hotels are changing their focus to accommodate for larger and more extravagant weddings and brand new buildings are being purpose-built to host the perfect day.

With so many places to choose from, businesses are looking for new and innovative ways to market themselves to stand out from the rest. Most are listing themselves on popular wedding venue sites such as Hitched and Confetti. Although these websites are fantastic at what they do, the venues themselves are still showcased in the standard photo gallery and at best a video.
