Wedding Venues
Our pick of fabulous venues around the UK to celebrate your wedding
Surveys show that the first thing at the top of any newly-engaged couple's 'To Do' list is to decide on a wedding venue. The style of the venue will lead the style of your whole day so choose wisely. Take our Venue Quiz in this issue to discover whether you are leaning towards a traditional or more contemporary celebration and then read our feature on How to Choose a Venue. And if like the rest of the country you have fallen in love with Downton Abbey (aka Highclere Castle in Berkshire) we check out the details of having your celebrations there as well as a host of other venues popular with celebrities.

Real Weddings

The Barn at Bury Court in Surrey was the setting of Karen and Jason's emotional wedding which was made all the more special by Karen's daughter giving her away. Gemma and Kevin's seaside wedding was practically perfect in every way thanks to finding that their venue, Lansdowne Place Hotel in Sussex, offered everything they were looking for. Deep burgundy red and ivory inspired the colour theme for Hayley and Colin's wedding at the Mill House Hotel & Restaurant in Berkshire and finally, a slice of the Caribbean came to Rivervale Barn in Hampshire for Heather and Damien's tropical themed wedding.
