The choice between all-inclusive and dry hire comes down to your priorities, personality, and, let’s be honest, how much mental bandwidth you’re willing to dedicate to wedding planning. If you want a seamless, stress-free experience and love the idea of walking into a beautifully curated event, all-inclusive is likely your jam.
On the other hand, if you’re the kind of couple who loves being hands-on, thrives on details, and has a crystal clear vision of your dream day, dry hire could be the perfect fit. And let’s not forget about hybrid options—some venues offer packages that provide key elements like catering or a wedding coordinator, but you still have the freedom to bring your personal style to other aspects of the day.
Whichever option you choose, the key is finding a venue that perfectly aligns with your vision, suits your budget, and matches the kind of planning experience you want. If you’re still sitting on the fence, why not visit a mix of both types of venues? Sometimes, standing in the space is all it takes to know if it’s the one.
