Venues
We know that your wedding venue isn’t simply a setting, but a place where cherished memories are made and special moments are shared with friends and family. We have a variety of stunning council venues and approved premises available for your big day. You also have the option of selecting an unlicensed venue as part of our weddings with a difference package.
Take a look at our range of beautiful locations and let us help you create an occasion to remember.
Outdoor civil weddings and partnership ceremonies have been legalised for the first time offering more choice for couples. Please contact your approved venue for more information.
