Weddings in United Kingdom

Across the United Kingdom, centuries of architectural heritage and remarkably varied landscapes provide exceptional settings for weddings. Historic castles, elegant country houses, grand hotels and secluded rural estates reflect the character of each region, from the rolling countryside of southern England to the dramatic mountains and coastlines of Scotland and Wales.

London brings magnificent historic buildings and distinguished city hotels, while the Cotswolds are celebrated for their honey-coloured stone villages and traditional manor houses. Scotland reveals ancient castles, beautiful lochs and Highland landscapes, and Wales preserves a remarkable concentration of historic fortifications and picturesque countryside. Northern Ireland adds dramatic coastal scenery and elegant country estates. The United Kingdom's wedding heritage is closely connected to its architecture, gardens and longstanding traditions of hospitality.
