Picture your perfect wedding. If you see yourself tying the knot while sunlight shines through the stained-glass windows of an old church, saying ‘I do’ at the top of a tower that’s fit for a fairy tale or sailing off into the sunset on a yacht, you’re in the right place.
We offer a range of venues to help you turn your wedding mood board dreams into a reality if you don’t fancy a hotel wedding. They range all the way from petite town halls to vast private desert dunes, and they’re in all sorts of dreamy destinations, like Croatia, Italy and Dubai.
What to expect from a wedding in a different setting
Lots of locations
Channel Euro summer with your wedding ceremony when you walk down the aisle in the likes of Croatia, Cyprus and Santorini. Rhodes and Italy are also on the cards, along with Ibiza and – if you fancy going further afield – Dubai.
Unique venues
With us, you can think outside the box when it comes to wedding venues. We’re talking castles, private yachts and even museum gardens. Want to keep things a bit more traditional? We offer sea-view town halls and whitewashed chapels, too.
Ceremonies to suit you
Think having your big day somewhere a bit different limits your ceremony options? Think again. Most of our non-hotel venues offer legal ceremonies, and many offer symbolic ones and vow-renewals. Some do religious and same-sex weddings, too.
Venues to say ‘I do’
Here’s a snapshot of places you can get married, from sandy shores to castle towers.
Sandy beaches
Let the sea be your something blue when you and your partner become newlyweds on the beach. You’ll have crystal-clear waters as your backdrop while you tie the knot on the coast of Cyprus or Rhodes.
Cut-above town halls
We bet you’ve never seen town halls like these. They’re dotted around historic towns, like Porec in Croatia, with the architecture to match. We’ve even got a couple in Maiori and Positano – two sparkling gems on Italy’s Instagrammable Amalfi Coast.
Venues with a view
Like the sound of watching the waves sparkle in the sunlight while you tie the knot? Our sea-view venues look out to the turquoise waters of the Med – one’s even perched right on the edge of the iconic San Antonio port in Ibiza, famed for its sunsets.
Churches and chapels
We’ve got tiny chapels nestled between lush trees and rocky cliffsides and blue-and-white buildings that look like they belong in Mamma Mia, plus a rustic church with links to St Paul. Ideal if you plan on taking the phrase ‘hearing wedding bells’ literally.
Waterside castles
Pick one of our Italian castles – both of which are on the banks of Lake Garda – for your wedding venue, and you can live out your Disney prince or princess dreams on your big day. One of them even offers ceremonies all the way up in the castle’s towers.
Cherry-picked gardens
Nature lovers will be in their element at these airy outdoor venues. We’ve got everything from emerald-green lawns framed by fragrant lemon groves to stone-clad courtyards, where dappled sunlight peeks through pretty pergolas.
