A curated selection of wedding venues chosen for their standard, setting and service. It is an editorial selection, not an official hotel star rating.
A venue is included when it has been reviewed against the selection criteria, it hosts weddings, it is listed with its consent and its record is complete. Where a venue holds an official star rating from an independent authority it is shown separately, naming who awarded it.
