YES!
Your Wedding Ceremony can be held in any outdoor location.
Outdoor Weddings are currently our most requested service, as our summers are becoming hotter the idea of having a wedding out in the open, under canopies or in a marquee is becoming very popular.
Many couples we work with want the freedom to hold their wedding wherever they choose, and with licenced hotels and venues sometimes charging the earth, an outdoor wedding is a more original and sometimes less expensive option.
Some outdoor wedding ideas:
We work with some fantastic outdoor wedding venues and locations and can help you to find the perfect place to hold your wedding. View some images of our outdoor wedding venues.
How can we have an Outdoor Wedding?
It can come as a surprise but in England and Wales you cannot be legally married (i.e. sign the register) outside. The marriage must take place indoors within a church, register Office or in a venue licensed for marriage and be conducted by a Registrar or member of the clergy.
The good news is - you do not have to sign the legal marriage documents at the same time as your Wedding Ceremony.
The marriage itself is a formal procedure in which a set of standard statements must be made and a Register signed, these are the only rules and it can take place at the Register Office along with your two witnesses on the morning of your wedding or a day or two before or after.
Here you can read our step by step guide to getting married at the Register Office.
Because the legalities are completed separately that leaves you free to hold your wedding wherever and whenever you choose with no restrictions. To find out more about holding your wedding outdoors please contact us, we can also help you to find the perfect location to hold your outdoor wedding.
