Bristol is a city full of charm, character and life! Set on the River Avon, this historical location offers a picturesque backdrop for nuptial celebrations, and is the perfect setting for a barn wedding, which convey a beautifully rustic yet elegant feel. You can browse through the range of venues on Hitched to see if anything catches your eye.
Not necessarily - just because a barn wedding has a rustic vintage-feel, doesn’t mean it costs less money than a traditional reception! Many barns offer a blank canvas that you can decorate to match your style, however, those decorations can start to add up. Others might need to supply items such as tables, chairs, as well as culinary items like cutlery and plates.
If you want to host your ceremony at a barn, the venues would require a ceremony licence. Most venues do hold civil ceremony licences these days, but don’t worry if your chosen venue doesn't. There are plenty of alternative options in the city, including the incredible Bristol Cathedral. Dating back to 1140 AD, when it was originally constructed as an Augustinian the cathedral is one of Britain’s most beautiful medieval churches, featuring stained glass windows and soaring vaulted ceilings.
