You want somewhere different, exciting and memorable to hold your wedding, a place that you and your guests will remember long after the day has passed.
The wedding venues below are our personal favourites from among those we currently list. They are not necessarily the most expensive or the most luxurious, though some are both, they are just wonderful, sometimes quirky but always romantic places to hold a wedding.
