A beautifully restored Georgian manor on 40 acres near Tetbury. Grand but never stuffy — original fireplaces, flagstone floors and a dedicated day host who stays with the couple throughout. A walled kitchen garden opens privately for the couple before the wedding breakfast.

A 17th-century grain store on a working farm near Stroud. Exposed beams, stone walls, wild meadow views — and no preferred supplier list whatsoever. Bring any caterer, any bar, any band. Highland cattle appear at the fence during drinks receptions. Genuinely.
