One of the Queen of England’s official residences, full of charming shopfronts and surrounded by rolling countryside, Berkshire attracts many happy couples to its streets. Its popularity may even be down to the fact the Meghan Markle and Prince Harry got married in Windsor Castle just last year. It is the ideal place for many as it’s accessible from London and has plenty of locations for gorgeous wedding photographs. Like any city, it’s best to do your research before you go ahead and start booking venues.
Windsor is more than a little accustomed to hosting weddings. As well as its history with royal marriages, its local council knows that many couples flock to this area to have the picture-perfect wedding of their dreams. This means that when you do come to organise your wedding, you will be dealing with seasoned professionals. They even have an advice and recommendations page for getting married in their Guildhall.
Find a restaurant that is accustomed to events
If you have your heart set on hosting your reception at a quaint British pub or restaurant, it’s a good idea to check that they are accustomed to hosting large volumes of people. When it comes to catering to family and friends you want to be sure that the venue will do a good job. A pub with seasonal food, a sound-system and that is wedding ready is what you should be looking for, such as at thecornerhousepub.co.uk.
Explore its estates
Windsor is home to quite a few stately homes with sprawling grounds, which means it’s just a matter of taking your pick if this is the type of venue you would like to get married in. Conveniently, many of these have been modernised and now boast luxurious premises to host your wedding. You may also find that many of these stately homes have now been turned into hotels; perfect if you are travelling with your bridal party and groom’s men. You will also find plenty of hotels and grandiose buildings with stunning views of the Thames.
Know that there is an official manual
If you want to have a go-to directory of wedding venues, then you’re in luck. If you want to look outside of the Guildhall or its many stately homes, then just take a browse through its extensive online guide. Of course, you should never book a venue without visiting it first, but this manual is a great reference point for arranging viewings. Windsor is so full of historic buildings and pretty views, it can be hard to narrow down which type of venue you want exchange vows in. Consulting a guidebook helps you to whittle that choice down even further.
If one thing is for certain, it’s that you will be getting hitched in a town that is made for weddings. Not only will you get to enjoy stunning views and plenty of elegant buildings to choose from, but also local services who are more than accustomed to hosting a wedding.
