30 Enchanting Outdoor Wedding Venues for Al-Fresco Celebrations
Discover 30 of the most stunning outdoor wedding venues in the UK, from romantic garden ceremonies to breath-taking countryside settings, perfect for saying 'I do' under the open sky
Planning an outdoor wedding is a dream for many UK couples - so whether you're looking for outdoor wedding venues near you, or a spectacular outdoor wedding venue in London, we have you covered.
Outdoor wedding venues offer gorgeous backdrops, natural lighting for your wedding photos and the sounds of nature and the feeling of sun on your skin. What more could you want for your wedding celebration?
You may associate getting married outside with a destination wedding. A beach ceremony, for example; saying 'I do' in the grounds of an Italian villa. However, you can find some stunning outdoor wedding venues right here in the UK!
If you're keen on an al fresco ceremony, when you start looking at wedding venues bear in mind that there the rules vary across the nations. In Scotland and Northern Ireland, you can have a legally binding outdoor Humanist, religious or civil ceremony anywhere outdoors, so long as your celebrant agrees.
In England and Wales, by contrast, civil ceremonies can only take place at a licensed venue. This is following a recent update to the law on outdoor weddings, where you previously had to say your vows under a form of licensed structure, such as a pagoda. Now you can marry outdoors in England and Wales, providing the venue holds a licence.
Other venues have gorgeous outdoor spaces where you can hold a non-binding but meaningful ceremony, and either complete the legalities indoors on the day or at another time.

If you're looking for the perfect place to have a wedding outside, here are some of the types of wedding venue we recommend you consider:
- Gardens and Estates - These venues offer manicured lawns, flower-filled settings, and stunning architecture, ideal for a romantic outdoor wedding ceremony.
- Beaches - If you dream of saying “I do” with the ocean as your backdrop, beachside outdoor wedding sites offer a relaxed yet breath-taking environment.
- Rustic Barns & Farms - For a countryside feel, barns and farms provide a charming, intimate atmosphere with open fields and scenic views.
- City Rooftops & Courtyards - If you’re in London or any other big city, outdoor wedding ceremony venues with rooftop gardens or historic courtyards offer a stylish and modern option.
Can you get married outdoors?
Of course! Here at Hitched, we work with vendors that accommodate all sorts of weddings that take place outdoors. From treehouse weddings and boat weddings, to park ceremonies and botanical garden receptions, the sky really is the limit.
As we mentioned at the start, when browsing outdoor wedding venues it's wise to check if the venue aligns with the new outdoor ceremony laws. As long as your chosen venue complies with these regulations, then you can certainly tie the knot there.
In terms of logistics, getting married outdoors isn't too different to planning an indoor wedding, but it does present a unique set of things to consider. For example, you may want to invest in some colourful umbrellas for fun wedding photos in case it rains, and perhaps advise your guests to bring raincoats if you're planning a UK outdoor wedding!
Can you have an outdoor wedding indoors?
An outdoor-indoor hybrid wedding is such a great solution for couples who want to bring the magic of nature into their special day, without committing to an entirely outdoor wedding. Our favourite solution to this is an orangery wedding venue.
Orangery wedding venues help to bring the outside in through large windows, botanical features and beautiful manicured lawns. Alternatively, you could arrange for a marquee to be erected on your wedding site, which can provide shelter and warmth in case the weather takes a turn.
How Much Does Are Outdoor Wedding Venues?
The cost of an outdoor wedding venue varies based on location, season, and amenities. On average, outdoor places to have a wedding can range from £2,000 to over £10,000, with luxury estates and exclusive outdoor venues on the higher end. Factors that affect pricing include:
- Venue exclusivity - Private estates and sought-after locations often come with premium costs.
- Marquee & furniture hire - If the venue doesn’t provide cover, additional rentals may be required.
- Season & demand - Peak summer weddings may have higher prices compared to off-peak months.
