A wedding at a National Trust property
Saying 'I do' in style
What could be more romantic than getting married against the dramatic backdrop of ruined castles and sweeping views, the intimacy of a ceremony aboard a Steam Yacht or the elegance of an 18th-century mansion?
We know how important the right setting is for your big day, and with venues across England, Wales and Northern Ireland – we have the perfect place for you.
We have castles and ruins, stately homes, towers, abbeys, pubs, homes of former Prime Ministers, and even a dairy available for hire. Perhaps you fancy getting married on a film set? Loads of our venues have been used for Hollywood movies, or costume dramas.
Many of our venues are licensed for ceremonies, but many more are great for a reception. We often have on site catering, or have good relationships with local companies, and our professional and experienced staff are on hand to ensure that your day goes with only the one hitch!
Contact your local property to find out more about their wedding venue packages.
