Planning a wedding in the Wales
The United Kingdom offers country houses in parkland, castles, London hotels and Scottish estates among lochs and hills. Many venues have bedrooms for the wedding party, which suits a weekend celebration, and London’s airports and the Eurostar make it easy for guests from abroad to reach.
When to marry
May to September is the main season, and June brings the longest evenings, further north especially. The weather is changeable in every month, so most venues offer an indoor alternative to an outdoor ceremony. Winter weddings in castles and country houses have their own appeal, and dates are often easier to find.
Getting guests there
London Heathrow and Gatwick have the most international flights; Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Glasgow serve the regions. The Eurostar reaches London St Pancras from Paris and Brussels, and trains run from London to most regions. Country houses usually need a car or a coach from the nearest station.
Country houses and castles
Country houses and stately homes in parkland, many now hotels or let for exclusive use; castles in England, Wales and Scotland; London hotels and historic buildings for city weddings. Scottish estates add lochs, hills and sometimes a private chapel. Many country venues have rooms for family and friends.
The legal side
In England and Wales, both partners give notice at a register office in the district where they have lived for a set period; the wedding then takes place at a register office, approved premises or a church. Scotland has its own rules. Non-UK nationals may face extra steps, so check with the local registrar.

Can foreigners get legally married in the UK?
It is possible, but it takes planning. In England and Wales, notice is given at a register office after a period of residence in the district, and non-UK nationals may need a visa to marry. Scotland has its own procedure. Check the current rules with the local registrar well in advance.
What is the best time for a wedding in the UK?
June to September for the longest days and the best chance of fine weather, though rain is possible in any month, so choose a venue with an indoor alternative. Winter weddings in castles and country houses are popular too.
Where can you get married in a castle or a country house in the UK?
Country houses are found across England, from the Cotswolds to Yorkshire, and many are approved for ceremonies. Castles are common in Scotland, Wales and the north of England. Ask each venue whether it can host the legal ceremony or only the celebration.
