Top 5 Aesthetically Pleasing Wedding Venues

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and it is only natural that you should want to find the best location and the perfect venue. 

The definition of “perfect” will of course look different for each couple, but we have put together some top ideas to help you choose the most aesthetically pleasing wedding venues – as well as some real-life examples to provide you with plenty of inspiration.

From rustic barns to beachfront paradises, romantic settings to something more modern, these venues will provide you with the perfect backdrop for your special day. 

 

1. A rustic barn

For a traditional wedding, a rustic barn is an excellent choice. These venues are often found in rural areas, where they can be used as both a reception space and a ceremony site. They also come in all shapes and sizes and are ideal for a rural, country feel, traditional wedding.

 

• Real-life example: The White Horse Tea Green

Nestled in the heart of the Hertfordshire countryside, The White Horse Tea Green offers an idyllic spot for your special day, with a contemporary barn on site that can sit 100 people for the ceremony, and up to 200 for the reception, ensuring that your loved ones can enjoy your special day in truly stunning surroundings.

 

2. A luxury hotel

 

A luxury hotel is a great option if you’re looking for elegance and style on your big day. You may not be able to afford a lavish hotel, but there are many hotels out there that still offer luxurious services and amenities at affordable prices – particularly if you book the dedicated wedding package. 

If you are willing to spend a little more, then this could be the perfect choice for your big day, and often has the added bonus of ensuring that everything is taken care of for you; from decorations to administration. You can kick back, relax and actually enjoy your big day with minimal stress and fuss – both concerns that have the potential to ruin your special day. 

 

• Real-life example: the Manor House Hotel

This manor house is set in 12 acres of gardens and parkland on the outskirts of Bath. With room for up to 200 people, this venue provides plenty of space to hold all of your friends and family members.

 

3. A stunning historic castle

If you love history, then a castle is an excellent choice. There are so many castles out there that are available to hire for weddings, and each one has its own distinct personality. Some are very grand, while others are smaller and more intimate. But no matter the size, they will always add character to any wedding, and this is a breath-taking venue that is guaranteed to ensure that your wedding is memorable for all the right reasons.

 

• Real-life example: Highclere Castle

Highclere Castle is one of Britain’s most iconic castles. This castle-hotel is steeped in history and is well known for its lavish parties. You can host events such as weddings, engagements, birthdays, Christmas dinners, Halloween get-togethers, and other celebrations here, and the surroundings will instantly add a touch of class and sophistication to any get-together.

 

4. A country estate

A country estate can be a perfect option for couples looking to enjoy a touch of luxury on their big day, without having to break the bank. Many of these estates have been passed down through generations, meaning that they offer a sense of history and tradition which can add something special to your celebration. These sites also tend to be large enough to accommodate large groups of guests, making them a popular choice for larger weddings.

 

• Real-life example: Hilltop Country House

This is a stunning venue set in the heart of the Cheshire countryside and dates back to the 17th century. Couples can choose their perfect spot for a ceremony, and you can tie the knot surrounded by the rolling hills and green shades of the gorgeous hills rolling in every direction, with beauty as far as the eye can see.

 

5. A beachfront location

A beachfront location is another fantastic option if you’re planning on getting married somewhere with beautiful views. From romantic locations to picturesque settings, beaches are a wonderful way to celebrate your nuptials, and allow you and your significant other to feel close to nature as you take your vows.

 

• Real-life example: Tunnels Beaches

Tunnels Beaches is a seaside location nestled in the heart of Devon, offering breath-taking coastal views. This beach is ideal for those who want to create a truly unique setting for their wedding, and it’s also a short drive away from Exeter, Plymouth, and the rest of the South West.

Your wedding, your way
