Inspirational Wedding Venues

If you are looking for an inspirational place to hold your big day then we recommend using the list above, for the full listings and best available choice of mansions, halls, country houses and manor houses. We do really feature an inspiring choice of wedding venues and spaces which include award winning holiday homes which should make any bride smile.

Anyone who has got married recently will appreciate the challenges involved in finding just the right venue for a wedding reception. You may just be looking for a suitable place which can supply a certain quality of catering and service or self-catering accommodation for your guests and a large hall where you can organise your own catering. Attractive grounds with enough space for a marquee may be another requirement.  Or, a pretty setting for those wedding day photographs.

At certain licensed houses and mansions it is possible to hold the wedding ceremony at your venue, do take a look at the large houses and mansions which are licensed for weddings listed above.

Spaces and Places for more intimate smaller weddings

A self-catering venue is excellent for the smaller wedding. Usually only about 22-30 can be accommodated in a large country house or mansion but it is always possible to find additional accommodation in nearby holiday cottages, B&Bs or hotels.  You will most likely have to marry in a local church or registry office and hold the reception in a large country house or mansion although certain houses are licensed for wedding ceremonies. Some of them have extensive grounds which are suitable for marquees.

Also do take a look at cottages for honeymoons where you can enjoy something special - that touch of luxury! Every newly-wed couple has their dream honeymoon location; for some it's turquoise sea in an exotic paradise a long way distant, for others with less time and perhaps budget for a faraway destination may prefer a fairytale location closer to home. It helps to go somewhere beautiful with awe-inspiring views and to rent that small cottage for 2 in a secluded setting.

Recording your big day and precious moments

A good photographer is the difference between ordinary snapshots and works of art. Looking back on your wedding photographs in years to come, you will appreciate those well-arranged photographs of your special day and the guests who came to celebrate.
