What luxury means here
In this collection luxury is an editorial judgement, made venue by venue, about standard, setting and service. It is our selection and not an official rating or a price band. A venue must host weddings and be listed with its consent, and payment or membership never decides whether it is included or in what order it appears.
What the figures mean
A starting price is the figure the venue publishes for a wedding, and each venue says what it is for: a hire fee, a price per guest or a stay. It is not a quote, and venues without a figure quote on enquiry. Seated capacity is the number of guests the venue says it seats for dinner. Exclusive use means the venue says it can be taken for your wedding alone, whether that is the whole property or named spaces, so ask each venue what is included and for how long.
Using this page
Start with your guest numbers and the season, then choose a country or region. The filters narrow the list by region, type of venue, guest numbers and starting price, and you can sort by price or by capacity. Each venue page shows its facts, its photographs and a form to ask about your date.

Hotel, resort or villa?
The type of venue shapes the whole wedding: who else is there, where guests sleep, and how the day moves from ceremony to dinner. Venues include 50 hotels (exclusive use at 29, rooms for guests at 39); 15 resorts (exclusive use at 8, rooms for guests at 12); 11 villas (exclusive use at 9, rooms for guests at 10). With exclusive use the property is yours; elsewhere, ask which rooms and gardens are private on the day.
