Weddings in Country Houses

Of all the choices of licensed civil wedding venues in the UK, weddings in country houses remain one of the most sought-after. It's little wonder why! It's hard to imagine a setting for your wedding more charming than a classic, stately country house. Couples looking for a formal wedding who nonetheless wish to avoid an overly lavish or ostentatious setting are attracted by the combination of elegance and casual charm in the classic English country house.

Couples wishing to have a private wedding with only a few friends and family are pleased by the secluded settings of many country houses. Indeed, there are so many advantages to weddings in country houses, it's hardly surprising how many couples choose them as the setting for their own weddings.

Weddings in country houses are perfect for couples celebrating a second marriage, who can't have a formal church wedding but still value traditional, formal surroundings for their wedding ceremony. A wedding in a country house can have a similar traditional, rustic charm as a classic church setting. Weddings in country houses are one of the most popular choices for traditionally-minded couples of all ages and stations in life.

Civil partnership couples are also welcome to have their weddings in country houses. Many civil partnership couples enjoy the traditions and ceremony of traditional weddings, and can now enjoy their own traditional-style ceremony by having their partnership ceremony at a licensed country house wedding venue. However, don't make the mistake of thinking weddings in country houses are only for traditionalists! Civil wedding venues cater to civil weddings of all kinds. One of the advantages of choosing a civil wedding venue is the ability to customise your wedding ceremony to an extent not allowed in church weddings and register office ceremonies. Couples have many reasons for wanting unique, individualised wedding ceremonies, and a wedding in a country house can be a perfect middle ground for a young couple wanting to use their own unique wedding vows, and family members who may be pressuring them into a more traditional ceremony.
