How Hotel Wedding Venue Exclusivity Works
Exclusivity can sound like a simple option but in reality it can be interpreted in very different ways by venues. So it’s worth checking before you confirm your booking.
What Sole Use Actually Means
Full Exclusivity means that your event is the only event held at the hotel on the given date, and therefore you will have sole use of the hotel. Partial Hire on the other hand means that you will only have sole use of the rooms that you have booked, and therefore other guests could be using the bar, restaurant and lounge areas.
Areas Often Left Outside the Agreement
What areas are not included within the terms of exclusivity? Would hotel residents not have access to these public areas? (It is usually best to get a specific list of areas which are to be included within the terms of the exclusivity offered by a particular venue).
How Room Blocks Connect to Exclusivity
Typically, the venue will stipulate a minimum number of bedrooms that your guests have to book in order to achieve the level of exclusivity offered by a sole use contract. This will be a fixed room-night commitment for the number of bedrooms booked by the client.
Minimum Spend Obligations
The minimum spend for Exclusive Use will vary from venue to venue and will often include drinks, with or without accommodation and other extras.

Get It in Writing
It’s vital to ensure all verbal promises are included in the contract. In line with the civil ceremony, wedding and function venues guidance, venues are classified by what they are licensed and contracted to provide. Therefore precise written terms are vital to your protection.
A contract that outlines the spaces, obligations and restrictions of a venue is the best way to go.
