Wedding Venue of the Year – Something Different!

For couples seeking a wedding venue that breaks tradition!

This category is for venues that offer a truly unique experience, whether it’s a woodland retreat, vineyard, beachfront setting, zoo or gallery, or indeed any other out-of-the-ordinary wedding location.
