Countryside Wedding: Is it worth it?
When it comes to deciding on the wedding location, you are likely to face a tough decision whether to go for an urban, city look or a natural countryside setting. While the two have their merits and demerits, it seems countryside marriages are becoming more popular, especially among city dwellers looking for an escape or a mini-break away from everyday urban life.
So, if you are still unsure about your wedding plans, here are five reasons why we think having a countryside wedding is worth considering –
The Great British outdoors with a tranquil scenic setting
Location is everything when it comes to a wedding. And the countryside has a lot to offer, from idyllic landscapes, rustic decor to dramatic and picturesque open spaces; a perfect setting for you and your guests to relax and unwind for the big day. There is also the opportunity to take amazing photos of every wedding moment, which is, without a doubt, one of the best things to cherish and share with your loved ones once the big day is over.
Plenty of countryside wedding venues to choose from
While the British countryside can offer an unrivalled outdoor setting for the wedding, choosing an indoor environment that matches your personality can help turn a dream into reality. Perhaps, every bride can have a fairy-tale wedding. And there is a perfect countryside wedding venue to suit every taste and match any wedding budget, from farm/barn, vineyard, hotel, mansion, country club to castle. Imagine having your wedding in a country mansion such as the Hawkstone Hall, a truly magical Wedding Venue in Shropshire.
Also, choosing a countryside wedding means there is the added benefit of having plenty of space. So it is possible to scale up on your guest list or choose to hold the ceremony and reception in different settings. It also gives you the room and freedom to be creative with entertainment, and your guests will surely appreciate having more social spaces, both indoors and outdoors.
Extra privacy and security
A wedding is a special occasion for you and your loved ones. As such, you should not have to worry about dealing with uninvited visitors or undesirable neighbour complaints, which is more likely to happen if you choose to marry in urban areas. You may also have to finish the reception by a set time and keep the noise down when socialising during late hours.
If you prefer more privacy and security, the countryside is a perfect choice for the wedding since most venues are located in remote areas and can offer total exclusivity. You are free to access and use the entire place as you wish and can party and socialise until late at your reception. There is no hassle of dealing with unexpected visitors and, most importantly, the wedding venue will feel much closer to home.
A wide range of accommodation options
The countryside offers a wider range of accommodation options for every guest, from hotels, holiday rentals, cottages to cabins. And it is especially convenient for guests travelling long distances, whether they plan to stay just for the wedding or want to make the most of the trip.
Most country venues also provide on-site accommodation for the bride and groom and their guests so that everyone can enjoy a truly special and memorable day. It is one of the biggest perks of having a countryside wedding since you and your guests can enjoy the big day until late in the evening knowing that the bedroom is only a few feet away.
Personalised services, from classic to contemporary to fusion weddings
While weddings in the countryside are known for their classic appearance, the services they provide are more than just traditional. In fact, countryside venues can provide a much greater variety of personalised, modern wedding services than most city venues. So, with a country wedding, it is possible to tailor services to meet the desire of every couple for a perfect wedding.
And if you can’t decide between a classic and contemporary theme for your wedding, why not choose both? A rustic countryside venue complemented by the best wedding planners and customer service on par with modern wedding venues.
