From beautiful Tudor mansions and attractive manor houses, to regal castles, palaces and intimate boutique hotels, the county has some amazing venues to choose from.
Birthplace of William Shakespeare at Stratford-upon-Avon, and with picturesque countryside, towns and villages, could there be a more romantic place to get married than Warwickshire?
Why Choose Warwickshire for Your Wedding Venue?
To set the tone for your Warwickshire wedding, what better than a few words on love from the bard himself in Romeo and Juliet:
“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep: the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”
You can definitely expect a ‘boundless bounty’ of attractions in Warwickshire to make your big day magical, so let’s look at what makes the county so special.
The Wonders of Warwickshire
A scenic, rural county, Warwickshire’s largest towns and cities are Nuneaton, Rugby, Royal Leamington Spa, Warwick and the aforementioned Stratford-upon Avon.
All have a great selection of hotels, restaurants and bars, plus some good shopping centres and excellent visitor attractions – not least Warwick Castle, Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
With the southern tip of Warwickshire containing some of the Cotswolds, an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, and also including the scenic River Avon, the county provides a wonderful picturesque backdrop for any special day.
The Advantages of Hosting a Wedding in Warwickshire
With nearby Coventry Airport, plus good road and rail connections across the county, Warwickshire is accessible from all parts of the UK and for guests coming from overseas.
As mentioned, you can also expect a good range of amenities in the main urban areas if you want to prolong your stay either side of your wedding.
Warwickshire also benefits from a wealth of fine properties for its wedding and event venues. Part of Roman Britain, and originally including the Medieval textile centre of Coventry (now in the West Midlands), the county includes housing stock from every significant era of British architecture.
So whether you dream of saying your vows in a rustic rural barn, a fine stately home or manor house, or in a forest by a lake, a fairytale castle or a five star resort hotel – Warwickshire has the wedding venue for you.

How to Choose the Right Wedding Venue for You?
What you want your dream wedding to look like, and equally what budget you have at your disposal, are two of the key factors in deciding which venue to go for. But what else should you think about?
Factors You Should Consider
When it comes to wedding planning, it’s important to fit your vision with your finances, so finalising your guest list is a good place to start, as many high quality venues like Bourton Hall offer all-inclusive packages based on capacity.
It’s also a good idea to work out which guests will be at the ceremony and the reception after. Will it be close friends and family only to watch the exchange of vows, then extra guests for the party?
What exactly you can afford in terms of numbers at this stage will then inform the catering and accommodation options.
The Venue’s Capacity
Your chosen Warwickshire wedding venue must obviously have the ceremony, dining, entertainment and accommodation capacity to host your ideal event, so checking on these details when you view your shortlisted locations is also a must.
If you want an intimate wedding with just your nearest and dearest in attendance, then you don’t actually need to book a smaller venue.
Most larger properties offer various sizes of ceremony venues, and can handle wedding parties whether large or small – with everyone benefitting from the glorious backdrop of the grand location itself.
Questions To Ask Before Booking
A really experienced wedding team at a top quality venue like Bourton Hall will be well placed to answer all your big day questions, as they’ve already helped plan hundreds of weddings.
So when you shortlist all the questions you have about your wedding day based on some of the important issues identified, you’ll find an expert wedding venue team can fill any gaps you may have missed.
That’s why the first question you should ask of any prospective wedding venue is; ‘when can I come and see the property and discuss my options?’
