Searching for the perfect wedding venue can be a daunting task especially if you are unsure where to start or even what type of wedding you would like to have. For many people, the thought of what type of wedding to have won’t have even crossed their minds as it’s not something that people tend to need to think about unless they find themselves engaged, and even when you are engaged many people don’t think about this. If you are considering a modern wedding then we have put together some of our top ten venues that we think are absolutely stunning to help give you some inspiration.
One of the first things to think about if you have recently got engaged is what type of wedding you’d like to have, traditional or modern. The choice you make will depend mostly on your personal preference although other factors may play a part such as your budget, choice of location, number of guests etc. Modern weddings are becoming increasingly popular due to the flexibility and the fact that they are easier to plan.
Benefits of a modern wedding
There are a few benefits to having a modern wedding rather than a traditional wedding; we have mentioned the fact that there is more flexibility with a modern wedding which is a big positive if you are still unsure which to go for. With this flexibility you also get the added benefit that you can decorate the venue how you wish. You don’t need to necessarily be religious when choosing a modern wedding, whereas if you choose to get married in a church you will have to prove that you are religious and that you attend church. You can also choose a venue based on your guest numbers and the style of wedding that you want.
