The most romantic wedding venues in the UK

Bartley Lodge

Grand amidst its breathtaking natural surroundings, Grade II-listed country house hotel Bartley Lodge is possibly one of the most romantic wedding venues in the UK. 

Your ceremony might take place in the exquisite Crystal Room, or if you’re planning a romantic garden wedding, outdoors within the gorgeous walled garden; its rustic wooden arch and ancient oak tree are the perfect backdrop to your wedding day photographs. 

You can invite up to 80 guests to toast your nuptials on the stone terrace and to share your wedding feast in the eighteenth century Baronial Hall, with its oak panelling and twinkling chandeliers. Open the doors up to 150 friends and family in the evening, with dancing and a private bar.

If you and the wedding party choose to stay overnight, each room here is sumptuous and individually designed, and the Charles Lyell suite is truly magnificent, with four-poster, chandelier and incredible views to delight the happiest of couples.
