1. VENUES

Picking a venue is often first on the to-do list when planning a wedding, after deciding on a rough budget and guest list. It’s important to tackle these two big questions first, as they will no doubt inform the venues you look at. We’ve curated a list below of our favourite UK, European and international wedding venues, along with some special locations in London if you’re having a smaller affair.

You'll also find an edit of our favourite rental platforms should you wish to hire a wedding look, as well as resale sites if you're hoping to pass your dress on to another bride, suit destinations for the men in your life and the best places to find bridesmaids outfits, too.
