Planning a beautiful outdoor wedding? Here are some important details to consider when looking for the perfect outdoor venue.
In the UK, venues need a ceremony license in order to host marriage ceremonies. Most outdoor venues are not licensed. You may wish to hold your ceremony indoors and just your reception outdoors. Alternatively, you could have your official ceremony in the courthouse, taking care of the legal proceedings before holding a more meaningful ceremony at your venue.
Of course, you're never guaranteed sun in the UK, even in the warmest areas. If you have your heart set on an outdoor wedding, ask your venue if they have a back-up plan in case of rain. Most venues will be able to move your event indoors or into a tent, but make sure you're fully prepared for the possibility.
In a fully outdoor venue, like a field or woodland, you may have to hire some important things like toilets and generators. If you're having your reception outdoors on the grounds of a hotel or country house, you'll probably have access to their facilities, but check this in advance. You don't want to overlook something vital!
