Paul & Jens' UK Destination Wedding
What better place to take your wedding vows and celebrate your commitment than the country of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen?
In addition to the country’s historical appeal, the UK offers a bounty of options for those looking for a classically romantic destination wedding.
From the glamour of London to the rolling hills of Wales all the way to the captivating corners of Scotland, the UK promises unparalleled elegance to suit any tastes.
An important aspect of any destination wedding is knowing exactly what you want, as opportunities to browse or have second viewings (or even first viewings) are often limited.
The key to a destination wedding is to decide what tone you want to set for your wedding day; do you want to remember your nuptials as glamorous and prestigious, charming and elegant, or romantic and enchanting?
The tone you want to set will play a big role in dictating location, venue, and the other details for your big day.
The Glamorous Wedding
If you are looking for a wedding day complete with all of the glitz and glam Britain’s capital city has to offer, consider the unmatched service and style of the Ritz London. The Ritz offers the option of holding both ceremony and reception on site, as well as providing wedding night accommodation in one of the hotel’s ultra-luxury suites. An advantage of booking your destination UK wedding at the Ritz is the peace of mind afforded by knowing that every last detail will be taken care of by a world class service team (which means no last minute meltdowns for you or your intended).
The Elegant Wedding
Those looking for a more gracefully understated affair might prefer the country elegance of a Welsh countryside wedding. For this, there is no place more ideally suited than the stunning 15th century Plas Cilybebyll manor house set on two acres of meticulously-tended gardens. The property boasts eleven suites, an indoor pool, two garden ponds, and a summer house, allowing ample opportunity for the custom country wedding of your dreams.
Additionally, the area around Plas Cilybebyll offers a wide-range of activities including shopping in nearby Swansea, hiking the Pembrokeshire Coastal National Park, and the soothing sounds of the beaches along the Gower Peninsula. As if all that weren’t enough, Plas Cilybebyll’s managing outfit also offers complete wedding planning support to ensure that no matter how far away you are when planning, you are guaranteed a perfect day.
The Enchanting Wedding
Yet another option for the jet-setting betrothed is the haunting beauty of Scotland. If ever there was a nation of pure, unbridled romance it would be Scotland. With its rich history and violently passionate persona, Scotland is the ideal location to tie the knot for the couple who plan to live their married life with the ardor and intensity of young love.
The smoldering couple could be easily forgiven for being especially tempted by Glenap Castle in Ayrshire, Scotland which offers complete wedding packages exclusively for the happy couple (witnesses included!). For couples less inclined towards the “three’s a crowd” school of thought, Dalhousie Castle outside of Edinburgh offers an equally stunning location with event planners ready to meet any wedding party needs.
Whether you want your big day to be glamorous, elegant, or enchanting, choosing a destination wedding in the UK will guarantee that you will not be disappointed. Planning a destination wedding in the United Kingdom offers opportunities for unparalleled historical charm paired with sophisticated, modern luxury providing unique couples the ultimate wedding day.
