Hold court
Hidden away in the
heart of Central
London within
Browns Covent
Garden is
Browns
Court Rooms
. This
historic building was once
the Westminster’s County
Court, so it is the perfect
venue for those after a bit
of historical gravitas. High
ceilings, chandeliers,
sweeping staircases and
original judicial features
make the elegant Court Rooms the perfect setting for
anyone serious about their wedding.
There are four rooms to choose from: The Judge’s Court
holds a civil wedding licence and can be laid out to suit
almost any occasion, from a sit-down wedding
breakfast for up to 100 guests to a canapé reception for
130. The Barrister’s Court, which once dealt with births,
deaths and marriages, features beautiful skylights,
chandeliers and the original judge’s bench, while the
more informal Judge’s Chamber holds 70 and adjoins
the smaller, more intimate Study. The choice is yours!
Affordable luxury
Look no further than
Knock
Castle
if you are after affordable
luxury in the heart of Scotland,
just one hour from Glasgow and
Edinburgh. The team at Knock
Castle know that no two
weddings are the same, so whether
you want to make an impression
with a big flamboyant event or
relish a more intimate, homely and
traditional celebration, they will
tailor-make your day.
Whatever option you choose,
Scottish hospitality, award-winning
food, stunning countryside, all in a luxurious country retreat,
come as standard along with the great service.
Knock Castle also offer stag or hen parties. Unwind with a spa
package or enjoy an adventure-filled day of quad bike trekking,
archery, high ropes and falconry with your wedding party – a real
experience to remember.
Breathtaking backdrop
For your wedding or civil partnership, why not make
Strathblane Country House
your house for the day? Just a half-
hour drive from Glasgow or Stirling, it’s a delightful, privately
run boutique hotel, ideally located for those wishing to escape
the city, all against a breathtaking backdrop of the Campsie
Fells, Dumgoyne and Ben Lomond.
The team at
Strathblane
can provide
you with the
works – from
ceremony
venue (indoor
or outdoor)
to reception,
evening party
and bridal
suite, but many years of experience has shown that the bespoke
approach is far better than trying to squeeze couples into a pre-
determined package.
Instead, they will work with you to design and deliver a day that
is truly memorable and distinctive. Exclusive use of the house
can be arranged – their house is your house!
Personal touch
Situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty,
The Old Kent Barn
was a B&B until its owners organised
their daughter’s very successful wedding reception there
in 2005, and the family decided to pool their talents to
turn it into the award-winning venue it is today.
The team pride themselves on the quality and
warmth of the service they offer, and will work
tirelessly to ensure your wedding is perfect in every
way for you and your guests. In the summer, an open-
air terrace in front of the gazebo seats up to 150
guests while the magnificent barn, available all year
round, holds up to 250. The Old Kent Barn offer a
complete hospitality service with full catering, a licensed
bar and live entertainment – everything you need to get
the party going!
