This might affect where you hold your wedding as well as the time of day. Northern Warwickshire is perfectly positioned at the heart of the country making it easy for your guests to get here. We’re at the heart of the motorway network with the M6, M42 and M69; we have direct trains to Nuneaton, Atherstone and Coleshill from London, Birmingham, Crewe and all parts of the country; and we’re only a short drive from either Birmingham or East Midlands Airports.
Your wedding really is about you. It sounds obvious but your wedding should be about who you and your partner really are, what you like and where you will feel comfortable. Think about what type of venue will feel right – are you history buffs so that a historic castle or hall will set the scene? Perhaps a rural idyll escape like can host your fairytale.
