Think about the Location!
First things first, you need to consider the backdrop for your big day. Do you envision exchanging vows with a stunning countryside backdrop or with the beach within walking distance? Devon offers such a diverse and beautiful landscape for rustic wedding celebrations with endless views that make for picture-perfect wedding photos.
Plan for the Logistics
If you and your guests are travelling from London, then think about the accessibility to your venue - some venues can be quite remote! And speaking of guests, remember their comfort as well – do you want to be able to offer them on-site accommodation at your venue or available parking? While Devon's rural charm is undeniable, it’s essential to still think about the convenience of your venue and the facilities it offers.
Consider a Marquee Venue
Unlike traditional venues which might have limitations, marquee weddings offer unparalleled flexibility and room for customisation. If you dream of a truly personalised and luxurious wedding experience, then having a marquee wedding is the way to go. Imagine having a blank canvas to transform into your dream setting - you can be as creative as you like and add your personal style into every corner of your venue. As a marquee wedding planning expert – we’ve shared all our top tips and insider advice about everything you need to know if you choose to have a marquee wedding.
Wedding Venue Style
It’s important to have a vision about how you want your wedding day to look and feel. How do you want your guests to feel at your wedding venue - relaxed, excited, romantic, fun? Choosing the perfect venue will help you create this atmosphere and your dream aesthetic you want for your wedding day. If you want an elegant and sophisticated ambiance then a manor house would be ideal - or if a rustic vibe is more your style, then a barn setting, or a marquee would be more up your street. Once you are clear on
the vibe and style of your wedding it will narrow down your venue option and will (hopefully) make it easier to choose your venue.
Choosing your wedding venue is a crucial step in your wedding planning journey, but it's also one of the most exciting parts!
