How booking works

The booking process is built around an online tool called Build Your Own, which allows the group to choose destination, activities and packages according to their preferences. The company notes that booking is secured with a £30 deposit and that payments can be split among participants, from deposit to final payment. The online system offers instant updates and allows changes to the booking at any time.

The agency also mentions a Price Match Guarantee and travel protection. Packages can be adjusted to different budgets, from budget-friendly options to higher-spend proposals.

Client profile and approach

Hen Weekends targets groups of friends, family and bridesmaids organising the pre-wedding celebration. The company describes its offering as adaptable to different profiles, from beach and sun lovers to those who prefer city breaks, shopping, dining or sports activities. The site includes an FAQ section explaining what a hen do is, who is usually invited, how costs are split and what alternatives exist for alcohol-free celebrations.

Presence and recognition

The company has a hen weekends coordinator, April, who appeared on ITV's This Morning to talk about the evolution of this type of celebration. The site also publishes a blog with content on trends and planning, such as the most popular activities for 2026 or tips for booking in advance.
