Venue types to choose from?
When we think of weddings we tend to think about churches and registry
offices. And when it comes to the celebrations afterwards, large halls
and hotels are typically among the most common venues people head for.
But of course there are plenty of other more unusual venues you can opt for
when it comes to your own wedding. The setting is just as important as every
other aspect of your day, which is why picking somewhere slightly different
is always a good move. A good way of finding somewhere ideal is to explore
your local area to see what you have available. Keep an eye out for large properties
which may cater for large wedding parties and try and get some information
from them on what type of services they provide. Many castles can accommodate
wedding celebrations now, and indeed you may even be able to get married
there too. If you want something on a large scale – and you have plenty
of guests to squeeze in as well – a castle could provide just the setting
you are after.
Small and Large Reception Locations
If you have a smaller wedding party but the idea of being in a building
that is hundreds of years old appeals to you, think about one of the
many historic buildings in the country as well. Houses, forts, halls and even
vineyards all offer the prospect of somewhere a little more unusual than your
standard registry office or church. Of course there are more modern venues
as well which offer even more unusual settings for your wedding. Everyone is
familiar with Pinewood Studios, the movie studios that have been the setting
for many famous films over the years. But did you know that you can also get
married there? They have two rooms especially dedicated to this purpose, named
after Gatsby and Hitchcock. There are also battleships, trains and even aircraft
that you can say your vows on if you really want a memorable location for your
special day. In this sense it might even be possible to plan your wedding around
what you and your partner like the most. If you love the drama and majesty
of a towering castle, why not get married in one?
Consider unusual places to marry
No matter where in the country you live you will find all kinds of more
unusual wedding venues dotted around your locality. Jot down some ideas
for places you would love to have as your wedding setting, and then
see if you can actually turn one of those ideas into reality. It might be
easier than you think. And don’t forget there is nothing to stop you from
getting married in another county. It may require a little more planning
but it does open up all kinds of other possibilities if you are determined
to say your vows in an unusual setting. So regardless of whether you want
to say “I
do” in a church, a castle, a barn or a battleship, you are sure to
find something that fits the bill.
