Find your perfect seaside wedding venue here.

After a romantic seaside proposal on Valentine’s Day 2012, the magical wedding of Hollie and Thomas took place on a glorious sunny day in March, 2014. After snow a few days before the wedding, the sunshine was a blessing along with everything else. The church service mixed Church of England formality with informal hymns and instruments to finish on a high. The guests were shocked when the couple handed out tambourines and maracas for the final song – I’m a Believer. The reception was held at The Warren Weir at Luton Hoo, providing an idyllic setting for the reception.
