If you run a wedding venue, your website has a really important job.
The good news is, you don’t always need a fully custom website to fix that.
Sometimes, starting with the right Showit template (and then customising it properly) can completely transform how your venue is presented online.
Below, I’ve shared a selection of Showit website templates that work beautifully for wedding venues, along with exactly why.
And that’s where a lot of venue websites fall short.
They might look nice, but they don’t quite guide couples through the experience, highlight what makes the venue special, or make it easy to take that next step.
Before jumping into templates, it’s worth understanding what makes a venue website work.
Because it’s not just about choosing something that looks pretty.
WHAT A WEDDING VENUE WEBSITE ACTUALLY NEEDS
A strong wedding venue website should:
I see this all the time. Venues with incredible spaces, but their website doesn’t quite do it justice.
And that’s usually not about the venue itself, but about how it’s being presented.
Give a clear first impression of your style and setting
Help couples quickly understand what kind of weddings you host
Showcase your spaces in a way that’s easy to visualise
Guide couples through the experience of a wedding day with you
Make it easy to enquire or book a viewing
Include key details like location, capacity, and what’s included

Laurel
BY CALLUNA & THYME
Best for: Elegant, countryside venues or venues with a romantic, natural feel
This is my own template, and it works particularly well for venues because it’s designed to be highly visual, while still keeping things structured and easy to navigate.
It gives you space to showcase your grounds, interiors, and real weddings without overwhelming the page, and it’s flexible enough to include things like brochures, FAQs, and viewing enquiries.
What I’d customise for a venue:
Adding clear sections for different areas of the venue, highlighting the full experience, and incorporating a strong enquiry flow.
Lorelai
BY CREATE WITH DANIELLE
Best for: Editorial, high-end venues
This template has a really refined, luxury feel and works beautifully for venues that want to position themselves at a higher price point.
It’s very image-led, which is perfect for venues with strong photography, and gives that “magazine-style” experience.
What I’d customise for a venue:
Adding more structure around the user journey, ensuring there are clear next steps, and building out pages for venue details and logistics.
Rosemary
BY DAVEY & KRISTA
Best for: Timeless, classic venues
This one has a really soft, elegant feel and works well for venues that want something clean and polished.
It’s simple in the best way, which means it’s easy to customise and adapt to your venue.
What I’d customise for a venue:
Enhancing the storytelling, adding sections for real weddings, and making the enquiry process more prominent.
Samantha Kay
BY WITH GRACE & GOLD
Best for: Image-led venues with strong portfolios
This is a beautiful, highly visual template that works really well when you have a lot of strong imagery to showcase.
It allows the photography to do the talking, while still giving enough structure to guide couples through your site.
What I’d customise for a venue:
Adding more direction through the pages, incorporating CTAs, and ensuring it’s not just a gallery but a full experience.
Aperol Spritz
BY TONIC
Best for: Modern, fun, or destination venues
This template has a much more playful, bold feel. Perfect for venues that want to stand out or have a more relaxed, contemporary vibe.
It’s great for venues that don’t want to feel overly traditional.
What I’d customise for a venue:
Refining the layout so it still feels clear and easy to navigate, while keeping the personality.
REAL PROJECT
The Orchard at Munsley
Tipi Wedding Venue
One of my recent projects was working with The Orchard at Munsley - a tipi wedding venue set in a beautiful apple orchard in Herefordshire.
Their previous website didn’t fully showcase the experience of the venue, especially as the tipis aren’t up all year round. So we used the Laurel template and focused on making the website far more visual and immersive.
We added drone footage, expanded the imagery, and structured the pages so couples could clearly understand what their day could look like there, even if they were viewing out of season.
We also created a brochure to support enquiries and give couples something to take away when they come to Inspiration Days at the venue.

FAQs
How much input do I need to give?
As much or as little as you want. This is a done-for-you service but I'll need your input on:
- Your branding (colours, fonts, imagery) and copy
- Information about your services
- Revisions of homepage design & full website design
- The rest is handled by me as much as possible.
Are there any optional add-ons?
Yes! For example, we can set up a branded cookie banner for legal purposes or write and design additional pages. We’ll talk it through on our initial discovery call.
What is the best platform for a wedding venue website?
Showit is a great option for wedding venues because it allows for complete design flexibility, which is ideal for image-led websites.
Can I use a template for a venue website?
Yes! With the right customisation, templates can work incredibly well for venues. With space to share your packages, the right imagery and the experience your venue offers for couples.
Can you help with copywriting & SEO?
I handle the design side of things and set up your template with SEO best practices in mind but my template customisation service or custom web design doesn't include copywriting & SEO.
However, I have partnered with Jennie Hawkins Copywriter on our Flagship Website Experience which includes website design (from me!), and strategic SEO and custom copy from Jennie.
How does template customisation work?
You choose a template (either one of mine, or another Showit designers), then I'll send you a Google doc detailing all the information I need from you (copy, images, fonts, colours, branding) and I strategically input all of that information into the template for you, creating a semi-custom website suited to your business.
You can read more about my Showit template customisation service here.
Do I need a custom website?
Not always. Many venues start with a template and then invest in customisation to make it work for their business. However, this will vary by venue depending on your requirements and I do offer custom web design if you'd like go down that route.
Your wedding venue website should be doing more for you
Your website shouldn’t just sit there looking nice, it should be helping you attract the right couples, showcase your venue properly, and make enquiries feel easy.
If it’s not quite doing that yet, book a discovery call with me to see how I can help.
