A curated selection of wedding venues chosen for their standard, setting and service. It is an editorial selection, not an official rating, and no venue pays to be in it.
A venue is included when an editor has reviewed it against the selection criteria, it hosts weddings, it is listed with its consent and its record is complete. Selection is never bought and never depends on membership.

This page brings together the wedding venues chosen for the Luxury collection. There are 114 venues in it today, in 18 countries. The selection is editorial. A venue is here because an editor has reviewed it, it hosts weddings, it is listed with its own consent and its record is complete. No venue pays to be included, and membership or payment never decides who is included. A venue can also sit in the ordinary wedding venues category, and it keeps one profile and one address whichever list you arrive from.
The largest groups are United Kingdom (61), Italy (24), United Arab Emirates (4), Turkey (4). By region the biggest are London (25), Tuscany (11), Buckinghamshire (4), Rome (4), Surrey (3). The kinds of venue are Hotel (50), Resort (15), Villa (11), Castle (11), Country house (11). Hotels are the largest group, so many of the weddings here can happen under one roof, with rooms for guests on the same site. Villas, country houses and castle estates make up most of the rest.
Every venue here has at least ten photographs and a written introduction before it appears. Where a venue has published them, its profile shows how many guests it seats for dinner, how many it takes in total, how many rooms and suites it has, whether exclusive use is available, and what the arrival involves. Of the venues in this collection, 114 publish a seated dinner capacity, from 25 guests to 900, with a middle figure of 150. 88 list rooms or suites on site, and 78 offer exclusive use in full or in part.
Where a venue publishes a starting price it is shown, with what it is quoted against, such as venue hire or a price per guest. 56 of the 114 venues here publish a starting price. These figures are not comparable with one another, because venues quote in different ways and include different things. Where there is no published price, the profile says so and the enquiry is the way to ask. Prices are never estimated.
176 reviews are held across the venues in this collection. A review is shown only when it comes from a real couple or guest and has been checked, and hotel stays are shown separately from weddings. A venue with no review shows none.
Use the filters to narrow by country or region, by type of venue, by setting and by the number of guests. The guest filter uses the maximum capacity each venue publishes. Add venues to your shortlist as you go, and use Check your date on a profile to send your enquiry. Your enquiry is passed on to the venue; a reply cannot be promised, and no time can be given for it.
If you already know where you want to marry, the pages for Italy, the United Kingdom and London narrow the collection by place. The destination guides explain the season, the travel and the legal steps for each country, and the Atlas gathers the practical detail in one place. The 5 Star Edit carries venue reviews and real stories. If a venue you are considering is not in this collection, it may still be in the full list of wedding venues, which is linked below.
