Find the Perfect Wedding Venue to Suit Your Personality

Whether you're a quiet couple that wants something simple or are looking for a unique setting to suit your style, we've got you covered

Are you still looking for the perfect wedding venue for your dream day? Your choice of venue sets the tone for the entire day, whether you want a glamorous stately home wedding venue to set the scene for a fancy affair, or a laidback rustic barn wedding venue for a casual and chilled out day.

We’ve rounded up the best types of wedding venue to suit all personality types – what will you go for?

If You’re Traditional

Traditional couples who want their wedding to take place all in one venue should consider a hotel wedding venue. Hotels often provide the perfect blank canvas and a range of packages, which is ideal if you’re looking for an affordable wedding under £10k.

We love the Guildford Harbour Hotel – it’s the perfect example of an elegant hotel setting with a choice of packages to suit your needs.

If You’re Quirky and Cool

Edgy couples need an unusual style of wedding venue to suit their personalities. We love the idea of hiring a blank canvas in the form of an industrial warehouse wedding venue and putting your own stamp on it, whether it’s with creative lighting or a quirky signature wedding cocktail.

Manchester’s Victoria Warehouse is a great example of a quirky and cool warehouse wedding venue – the exposed brick walls and metal columns will really add something to your décor.

If You’re Sporty

If you bonded over a shared athletic hobby or never miss your local team’s home games, why not incorporate that shared passion into your wedding day? A sporting wedding venue could be the perfect match for your personality – you can even match your colour scheme to suit your team’s colours for the ultimate sporty twist.

If You Love a Bit of Culture

Culture vultures will adore the chance to host the biggest day of their lives at a museum wedding venue. Museums are often housed in spectacular buildings and if you host your wedding at one you and your guests can quite often take in the exhibits as part of your big day.

The Brooklands Museum in Surrey is the perfect choice for couples looking for an unusual wedding venue with lots of interesting features to keep their guests entertained.

If You’re Foodies

Foodie couples should definitely consider a restaurant wedding venue. Getting married at a restaurant will give your big day a cosmopolitan feel, and allow you to share your favourite cuisine with your guests.

Hosting your wedding at a restaurant can be really sentimental too – particularly if it’s where you had your first date or if it’s a place you visit together a lot. We love the Belle Epoque Brasserie in Cheshire, which is famous for its fine wines and award winning food.
