Is owning a wedding venue profitable?
Owning a wedding venue can be a very profitable business, but not if you take on too much debt. This business is a lot of work, and if you get in over your head in terms of debt and assume you’ll book 50, or 100, or 150 weddings a year, you could find yourself working nonstop and breaking even.
Do you need planning permission for wedding venues?
You can hold most events on land for up to 28 days a year without requiring planning permission, but you may need permission for change of use, or mixed use, of a building. Contact your local planning authority for the definitive answer.
