As we approach the summer, everyone involved in the wedding industry will be gearing up for for the marriage session and it can get very busy. Most of the good venues will be booked up months if not years in advance, so unless you’re very lucky, you need to plan well. Some of the most popular wedding venues in the UK, and places that are certain to be fully booked in 2010 are wedding castles.So what makes a castle wedding such a great option?

Grounds. Almost all castles are blessed with acres and acres of lush Greenland and woodland. Who wouldn’t want their wedding taking place to such a backdrop, not to mentioned the brilliant wedding photos that these locations produce. Furthermore, you can have a marquee in the grounds if the weather is nice, or take a nice walk around the moat.

History. Some people like to get married in tacky places that haven’t got any culture or history. The majority of people however, prefer a classy location that has a great atmosphere and is steeped in antiquity. Old castles really help to set the scene for a fairytale wedding and have a quality that cannot be matched by newer buildings, no matter how large or fancy. Some people believe as well that getting married in a castle is good luck, and whatever helps a marriage along has got to be good news!

Accommodation. One of the greatest benefits of getting married in a castle has to be the accommodation. Most castles double up as wedding hotel also, which is not only convenient, much also makes more of an occasion out of the wedding. Everyone can enjoy the reception without worrying about having to get a taxi at some unsavoury time of night, or travelling miles to the nearest B&B. Also, all your loved ones can be there in the morning ready to see you off on your honeymoon.
