What are Wedding Day Loans?
Getting married is the one celebration you don’t want to compromise on. And the grander your plans get, the more it might feel like your dream day is out of reach financially. A wedding day loan is one option worth considering if you’re short on savings.
A wedding loan is simply a loan you’d take out to fund your big day and everything that comes with it. It might cover all or part of costs like venue hire, catering, entertainment and outfits – as well as travel and accommodation if you’re getting hitched abroad.
We offer secured loans for weddings which are backed up by property in case you can’t make the repayments. Beyond offering your home as security, our loans work like regular instalment loans. You’ll borrow the money you need for your wedding upfront then repay it in monthly instalments with interest added on top.
What are the benefits of Secured Loans for weddings?
Wedding loans can provide the money you and your partner need to enjoy the event you truly want, whatever that might look like. With loan amounts from £5,000 to £100,000 and repayment terms of 3 to 20 years, you can cover some or all your wedding costs to spread them out in a way that suits your budget.
Choosing a secured wedding loan specifically offers the following advantages:
What are the risks of Secured Loans for weddings
While we conduct an assessment to ensure each loan is affordable, borrowing money always comes with a degree of risk. With a Wedding Day Loan, if you repeatedly fail to make your agreed repayments you could put your home at risk of repossession.
What should I consider before applying for a wedding day loan?
It’s important to think carefully before taking out a Wedding Loan. Assess your savings and think about how much money you need. Could you shop around and haggle for cheaper photography, dresses and rings for example, and borrow less as a result?
You should be confident about how you’ll pay your loan back too. With a secured wedding day loan, there’s the risk that your home will be repossessed if you can’t keep up with repayments. Missing payments can also damage your credit score and make it more difficult to borrow money in the future.

Instead, we’ll aim to create a loan with your unique circumstances in mind – even if you’ve had credit problems in the past or have no credit history whatsoever. If we’re confident you can afford the repayments, we’ll help you plan for the big day with peace of mind.

We offer variable interest rate wedding loans, so the amount of interest you pay each month could change. All our loan offers are unique to the applicant – get a free, no-obligation quote for a more accurate idea of what yours will cost.
What if I’ve been rejected for a loan elsewhere?
We won’t automatically jilt you just because you’ve been rejected for a loan by another lender. Unlike some lenders, we look at things like your income and outgoings as well as your credit history. This means we can offer secured wedding loans for bad credit in some cases.
Bear in mind that making lots of loan applications in a short space of time can affect your credit score, however.
I have good credit, but my partner has bad credit. Should I apply for a wedding loan?
If you’re making a joint application, a low score could affect your chances together. But remember even if your credit history is imperfect, we’ll take the time to understand your wider financial situation and do all we can to find a secured loan that’s right for you.
We’ll ask for a joint application for a secured wedding loan if you own your property together.
Will my spouse’s credit score affect me once we’re married?
You’ll both continue to manage your own credit history, and scores individually once married. However, if you make a joint application for a mortgage, loan or credit card, your credit histories for the joint accounts will become linked – which may affect any future credit applications you make separately or together.
Will I have to do a credit check for a wedding day loan?
We’re committed to responsible lending and carry out credit checks on all applicants to ensure all our customers get loans they can afford. Even so, your credit score won’t be the only factor we assess, so we could still offer you a wedding loan with bad credit.
