Why Have Your Wedding In A Castle?
It is coming around to that time of year again, when weddings are happening all over the place and everyone in the industry starts getting busy. The can be a waiting list of up to 5 years for some of the top places to get married, so early planning is the key. Some of the most popular wedding venues in the UK, and places that are certain to be fully booked in 2010 are wedding castles.So what makes a castle wedding such a great option?
Grounds. Its hard to find a castle that does not also boast impressive grounds with forests and grassland in abundance. Not only does this look fantastic on the big day but it provides the perfect setting for wedding photos that youll treasure forever. Additionally, the grounds can sometimes be used for the event itself, but this is of course dependent on there being fine weather.
History. Some people like to get married in tacky places that havent got any culture or history. Most people though prefer somewhere that has an air of quality about it and actually has some history. Old castles really help to set the scene for a fairytale wedding and have a quality that cannot be matched by newer buildings, no matter how large or fancy. There is a superstition that says the more weddings a venue has seen, the better the chances of the couples getting married in it will stick together, and castles have seen a lot!
Accommodation. As well as the stunning halls and towers, castles can often provide great accommodation for the wedding party. Most castles double up as wedding hotel also, which is not only convenient, much also makes more of an occasion out of the wedding. Everyone can enjoy the reception without worrying about having to get a taxi at some unsavoury time of night, or travelling miles to the nearest B&B. Also, all your loved ones can be there in the morning ready to see you off on your honeymoon.
