Whether it’s a sunlit glasshouse, a historic castle or a windswept cliffside, each wedding venue brings its own character and charm. From the storybook of the English countryside, the chic minimalism of a registry office or the high-watt glamour of a London hotel, the venue you choose sets the stage against which each aspect of the wedding is built – some lend themselves to a multi-day festival-style wedding weekend, while others offer private rooms that suit more intimate celebrations. Read on for the full roundup of our favourite wedding venues, organised to highlight the type of space each setting offers to help inspire and inform your choice.
