Christmas is a romantic and beautiful time of year to get married. Snow-covered rustic barns and country houses are perfect for a winter wonderland wedding and will help create a fairytale setting for your special day. Here I’ve listed a few wedding venues which I think would be perfect for a Christmas wedding.

Combe Bank, Kent

Wedding Tables at Combe Bank

This elegant and charming Palladian Mansion house offers an exclusive and stylish location for a romantic Christmas wedding.

Seating up to 140 guests for dining, the light and spacious Dining Room looks beautiful decorated with flickering candles and hints of red and gold. Combe Bank is also licensed for civil ceremonies, which can take place in the Adam Room or the venue’s chapel. Keeping everything in one location means guests won’t have to walk through rain or snow.

Curradine Barns, Worcestershire

Curradine Barns Courtyard

Curradine Barns, a beautifully rustic and intimate wedding venue, is full of character and charm, making it perfect for a warm and cosy winter wedding. The warmth of the barn’s log burner will be a delight to all your family and friends as they enjoy mulled wine and delicious hot cuisine served by the Events Team, Galloping Gourmet.

Windows all around the barns overlook the pretty courtyard lit with fairy lights and lanterns, enabling you and your guests to enjoy the beauty of outdoors even during the coldest months.

Rivervale Barn, Hampshire

Christmas Wedding at Rivervale Barn

This magnificent contemporary barn wedding venue is set on the banks of the River Blackwater. Rivervale Barn’s impressive oak beams, grand feature windows and cathedral arches create the perfect atmosphere.

December weddings have use of the barn’s pretty Christmas tree, decorated in neutral colours and twinkly lights. Hold your ceremony in the most romantic setting, with huge arched windows overlooking a frosted lake and snow-covered gardens, helping to create a winter wonderland for your Christmas wedding.

Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire

Blenheim Palace Long Library

What better way to celebrate your Christmas wedding than in an enchanting and magical setting such as a Palace? Choose from several of Blenheim Palace’s sumptuous and impressive reception rooms in which to celebrate your wedding day.

The beautiful Orangery seats up to 230 guests and has its own terrace overlooking the private Italian gardens. Alternatively, impress your guests in the splendour of the State Apartments and the Long Library.
