Wedding In the Cotswolds: Here’s What You Need to Consider

Wedding In the Cotswolds: Here’s What You Need to Consider – The Cotswolds is a desirable wedding location. Not only is it a destination that is full of rustic country charm, but it is also home to some of the most picture-perfect villages in the UK.

If you are planning to host your wedding in the Cotswolds, then there are a few things you should consider. Today, we will be discussing everything you need to know. 

Set A Budget

When planning your wedding it can be easy to get carried away. We start to think about the dress, suits, venue, food and entertainment. However, before you know it the cost of these items soon adds up. That is why you must set yourself a budget to help you maintain realistic expectations of your wedding. 

If you want to create a budget and stick to it then you may need to turn to the internet for some help. There are plenty of resources out there that can give you some helpful advice on how to create your wedding budget. It is crucial that you understand how much money you have to spend to avoid disappointment further down the line.

Venue

There is no denying that the Cotswolds is home to some fantastic wedding venues. Choosing the venue for your wedding can be difficult especially when the choices are all stunning. However, there are a few rules that you should follow. The first one to think about is space. Sure, you might find a stunning venue but if it seats 500 guests and you are inviting 100 people, then the venue could end up feeling quite empty on the day. Secondly, you should always visit a venue more than once to make sure that you are making the right decision. 

Take a look at this wedding venue in the Cotswolds as an example. It can accommodate up to 150 guests. So, your wedding guests will be able to enjoy the evening and then relax back at the hotel when they need to take off their dancing shoes. This is the ideal location if you are looking for a wedding that showcases luxury. 

Research The Local Area

If you are planning on having your wedding in the Cotswolds, but are not familiar with the area, then it is important that you put enough research into it. For example, you may need to hire some entertainment for your wedding or caterers, and it can help you save money on your budget by choosing businesses that are more local. That way, you are minimising the need for travel. 

You will also need to think about your guests. If people are travelling far for the wedding, you will need to ensure that they have a place to stay after the celebrations. So, it is recommended that you research local hotels in the area. You can find out most of the information that you need from a quick Google search. However, it is also worth visiting the Cotswolds as well so you can familiarise yourself with the area and you may uncover some hidden gems.
