Venues in South Oxfordshire

Location, location

Whether your ceremony is religious or civil will influence your choice of venue. There are plenty of beautiful churches in South Oxfordshire that are perfect for a religious service.

There are also venues with views of the River Thames and the picturesque landscape of the Oxfordshire valley which are ideal for receptions and civil ceremonies. South Oxfordshire offers converted barns with stunning gardens, chic hotels and historic houses with romantic decor for special events.

The best way to go about choosing your venue is to visit as many as possible and ask the right questions such as, "Do they have suitable facilities on site such as cloakrooms, toilets and sufficient car parking space?." "Do you have exclusive use of the venue or will there be other functions on that day?" and "Can they recommend suppliers for catering, photography and other requirements?"

If you are planning a civil ceremony make sure the location holds a wedding licence. You should get a good feeling from the venue; the staff should be helpful and accommodating. The size of the available space required would depend on the number of guests you would like to invite. You don't want it to be a squash, but you also don't want people to look lost because the venue is too big. An important point to remember is that even if you are having a summer wedding, you still need to make sure that the venue has enough room for your guests inside or under cover. The English weather can be very unpredictable.
