Top Wedding Venues in the Cotswolds
Whilst we plan weddings in London, throughout the UK and around the world, many of the luxury weddings and parties that we design are at home in the beautiful Cotswolds. Nestled in the heart of the English countryside, the Cotswolds is full of charming and romantic villages and it's no suprise to us that many couples choose this picturesque region of the UK as the backdrop for their special day. From historic manors and imrpessive estates to quaint barns and country retreats, the Cotswolds offers a plethora of enchanting wedding venues to choose from.
Many of our couples choose to have marquee weddings in the grounds of their family homes, but for those couples looking for their perfect wedding venue, this blog will share some of the best wedding venues in the Cotswolds, where dreams are woven into the fabric of the landscape.
