Wedding Venue - Marle Place, Kent

Marle Place, a lovely, privately owned, venue for a reception in the quiet Kent countryside near Tunbridge Wells. A real ' labour of love ' it is a great venue for a reception with both space for a large marquee and gardens that offer up lovely ' secret ' areas for guests to explore, featuring various pieces of artwork. Hard to beat on a summer's evening.

Wedding Venue - Kirtlington Park, Oxfordshire

Some images from one of my favourite wedding venues, Kirtlington Park, near Oxford. A Grade 1 listed Palladian mansion tucked behind the village of Kirtlington, I think it is a great location for a wedding day. Privately owned, and I believe only holding a limited number of weddings each year, it offers what I would call a more complete and personal service than many such locations owned by corporate hotel chains. Many of the grand house in England have been snapped up the large hotel chains and marketed as wedding venues but they often create a clean but sanitised experience, lacking real charm or atmosphere. Most cannot touch the 'real thing' feel that this venue provides.
