Choosing the right venue for your wedding is a crucial decision that sets the tone and ambiance for your special day. The beauty of choosing a celebrant-led wedding, is that you can have it anywhere you like! You have the flexibility to choose from a wide range of venues that align with your vision and preferences. From an outdoor location of your choice to a wonderful indoor space, let's explore some options for where you can have a wedding led by a celebrant.
Outdoor Settings:
Beach Wedding: Exchange vows with the sound of the sea gently lapping the shore in the background and the sun setting on the horizon. Beach weddings offer a beautiful backdrop for your celebrant-led ceremony, providing an incredibly romantic atmosphere. As I am based on the South Coast near Bournemouth, where there are some amazing beaches, a beach wedding would be perfect for those couples looking for something a bit different and of course the venue would be absolutely free!
Garden Ceremony: Host your wedding amidst the backdrop of flowers and greenery in a wonderful natural setting. You might choose a botanical garden, a manor house garden, or even your own garden! Garden ceremonies offer a natural and open setting, perfect for couples who appreciate the beauty of nature!
Woodland or Forest Setting: I am based on the edge of the New Forest and there are some incredible areas of woodland or wonderful forest settings where you are truly surrounded by nature. New Forest ponies, rabbits, deer, cattle, rivers are everyday features of the New Forest and are all available for free!
Mountain Retreat: Escape to the mountains for a scenic and tranquil wedding experience. Whether it's a rustic lodge, a mountaintop vista, or a secluded forest clearing, mountain retreats provide a breathtaking backdrop for your celebrant-led ceremony, surrounded by majestic peaks and pristine wilderness.
Indoor Venues:
Historic Mansion: Step back in time and exchange vows in the grandeur of a historic mansion, manor house or estate.
