Your wedding venue will hold a very special place in your heart for the rest of your life, which makes selecting the right place to say “I do” and celebrate with family and friends particularly important. With countless wedding venues of all sizes and styles based up and down the country, however, making a selection can be pretty difficult.
As well as taking your personal taste, desired wedding theme and big day budget into account, you’ll want to consider the following during your search for the perfect wedding venue…
1. Its internal and external beauty
It’s not just what your venue looks and feels like inside that matters. Its external appearance is important, especially if you plan to tie the knot during the warmer months and take full advantage of its grounds.
As a striking Georgian mansion set in some 10 acres of lawns, gardens and parkland, Gosfield Hall is as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside. With views over a sparkling lake, and a selection of elegant reception rooms to entertain your guests within, you’ll find a picture-perfect setting to celebrate your nuptials.
2. The versatility of the venue
Hosting your ceremony and reception at the same venue unlocks a long list of plus points. You won’t have to waste time or spend money hiring the extra transportation you need to get you and your guests from one venue to another. You’ll also have more time to enjoy your big day as Pearl By David’s details:
“Ultimately, when you choose a venue to host your ceremony & reception in the same location, you have more time for what’s important: enjoying your wedding day from start to finish! Your big day should be full of love and laughter, not stress and worries. You’ve spent months planning and you only have a number of hours to enjoy the culmination of all that hard work, you deserve to enjoy every minute!”
By opting for a venue that can double as a ceremony and reception space, you can enjoy a complete experience without leaving the grounds!
3. The extra support you’ll receive
Your chosen venue should be more than bricks, mortar and beautiful surroundings. The support you receive from the venue’s team can be invaluable both before and during your big day.
Here at Gosfield Hall, every couple marrying with us will receive a helping hand from their own dedicated Personal Wedding Manager. Your Personal Wedding Manager will help you plan your big day and oversee your wedding timeline on the day itself.
4. The accommodation on offer for couples…
Booking wedding night accommodation is a great idea for so many reasons. With night-before or wedding night accommodation, you’ll spend less on transport, reduce your travel time, and enjoy a space that you and your new spouse can retire to for a little peace and quiet.
5. …and a select few guests
Our accommodation options provide a special treat for your wedding VIPs too. Gosfield is home to 23 suites in total – that’s 14 double rooms and 9 family rooms – whilst nearby The Marquis offers additional accommodation for up to 21 guests.
6. The connections they have with vendors
As a venue that has been hosting weddings for more than 30 years, we certainly know a thing or two about what makes a big day extra special. We’re in the business of making wedding dreams come true, and have built relationships with trusted suppliers so the couples marrying with us don’t have to.
Our list of recommended suppliers includes photographers, videographers, florists, bridal boutiques, wedding stationery suppliers, hair stylists, makeup artists and entertainers, all of which have been given our seal of approval.
7. The extras they offer to hire or buy
It’s not just vendors we put our couples in touch with, we provide all the finishing touches that make your wedding a day to remember. You can find out more about the wedding day extras available at Gosfield Hall right here.
