Top 7 wedding experiences of UK

Regardless who we fall in love with, we have all – at some point in life – fantasised our dream wedding. Royal weddings complete with an orchestra at hand while a flower shower engulfs your wedding suit. Or a quiet exchange of rings over vows whispered in your secret getaway. Without further ado, here are wedding experiences of U.K that could make all your wedding dreams come true. And when you do decide to say the ‘yes’, remember to send us an invite! ~

♥ A Windmill

Wedding bells a-ring but want it to be an intimate affair only? One of the more intimate wedding experiences of U.K,  exchange your vows and slip your rings in a windmill. Not just any windmill. The Cley Windmill in Norfolk, located a kilometer away from the beach, is a beautiful, rustic setting that accommodates up to 20 people. An airy, round ‘Sitting Room’ houses the wedding. Head to the room across for the reception. Rings and vows exchanged, cake sliced amid much cheer, head to the Windmill Dining Room and indulge in a glass of champagne or, the local speciality, Norfolk cream tea.

With a balcony offering panoramic views of the surrounding marshes, catch the sun  as it dips into the horizon or just savour each other’s company away from the crowds. With a variety of accommodation, hosting your guests is no headache. Wedding chapel set and everything done, it’s time to bring out the camera and make some memories – plus, who in their right mind would pass on such great photo opportunities?!

Got a lovely wedding planned but, want to up the quirk factor a little bit? One of the quirky wedding experiences of U.K to try – get married in a submarine. No, we aren’t going all out. At Porstmouth in England, you can host a wedding and, if you fancy, a reception in a submarine! With a capacity to accommodate upto 300 guests – the interiors of HMS Warrior 360 incite awe. The Officer’s Hall, with a capacity for upto 100, or for a more intimate affair – the Captain’s Cabin that can hold upto 25 guests.

If you anticipate a larger crowd for reception, then hold the reception at John Fieldhouse building that hosts brilliant views of the Portsmouth harbour. Don your wedding garb and get to solemnising and some memory-making aboard a submarine!

♥ A Castle

Fairy tale weddings are no longer a thing or dreams and movies only. Not true. They are also the thing of wedding experiences in U.K. Fancy being wedded in a castle among dense woodland? At Castell Coch castle, you can. This gothic-revival castle can accommodate upto 30 people at a time and requires you make a booking 13 months in advance. The wedding will be solemnised in the well-decked Drawing room of Castell Coch. Woodland in purview and the additional perk of miles of seclusion – the wedding is an intimate affair, complete with the charm of the rustic locale.

You can plan to wed in the morning or afternoon as sun takes stage. Be warned, Castell Coch can’t host receptions. Maybe conclude with picnic nearby or a scenic ride out of there.
