What this cut is trying to answer
This is a practical shortlist of places where the assessed set contains enough stronger venues to make a spend comparison meaningful. The score floor protects the list from rewarding a cheap but weak inventory, while the minimum venue count reduces the effect of one unusually priced record.
It is still not a promise of savings. Travel, accommodation, guest logistics, seasonality and supplier requirements can outweigh the venue figure. Treat the table as a prompt to investigate a place, then verify the current venue details before making a decision.
What to do next
Use the figures here to set a realistic starting point, then move from the market pattern to a region, venue type and individual venue profile.
The research is comparative rather than a quotation. Recheck the venue's current inclusions, guest assumptions, season, accommodation and supplier requirements before treating any figure as your wedding budget.
