5 Alternative Wedding Venues

Nowadays you can get married almost anywhere, as long as you have the budget you'll be able to find a location. Now you no longer have to have a church or registry office followed by a reception in your local village hall or social club. Many venues now offer complete packages providing the venue for the wedding, meal and reception all in one so why settle for the traditional standard on your big day when you can have something special and unique. Here are a few ideas of the alternatives available to you.
Castles
There are many old castles still standing in the UK today and people have started to realise they can make excellent wedding venues. Just imagine an ancient medieval castle that may have once been used in a Hollywood blockbuster or was once an important part of British history. You could have a candle-light ceremony with all your family and friends and many castles offer the option of having a medieval themed wedding too. The beautiful grounds of many castles will offer ideal opportunities for your wedding photographs.
Golf Clubs
Golf clubs have become popular venues for weddings lately. This is because many provide not only areas for the wedding ceremony and reception but many also offer accommodation and facilities such as swimming pools. Being golf clubs most are set in lovely locations with well maintained gardens which would be perfect for photographs and if you have any golf mad relatives then there is always the opportunity for them to play a quick 9 holes.
Beach
Many couples are now choosing to have their big day abroad on a sun drenched tropical island and who can blame them? Couples are choosing to remove the risk of bad weather on their big day by going abroad where there is almost a guaranteed chance of good weather so they can have an intimate beach wedding surrounded by beautiful scenery, loved ones and palm trees. It also provides the newlyweds with the option to move straight on with their honeymoon and relax in the sunshine.
Football Stadium
Are you a footy mad couple? Then why not get married at your favourite teams football stadium. This may not be every ones cup of tea but many professional football clubs offer to have wedding ceremonies in many different areas of the stadium from the directors box to the home teams changing room. Most clubs have a variety of conference rooms available for hire and will often provide drink and food services as well.
Zoo
Chester Zoo is weirdly a common place for couples to tie the knot. Apparently many people have enjoyed their big day surrounded by a variety of wild animals. They provide full reception and ceremony facilities and I'm sure it will be a memorable day.
