How do I book a civil ceremony in Cotswolds?

If you’re looking to book a civil wedding ceremony in the Cotswolds, there’s a couple of things you’ll need to get underway to start the process. Your first port of call will be to get in touch with one of the Registration Offices in the Cotswolds to let them know of your intention to get married.

You’ll need to be extra organised beforehand, as meeting with the Registrar can be done up to 12 months prior to your big day. Therefore, you will need to have secured your perfect wedding venue before you contact the Registry Office so that you can give them some of the key details. They’ll need to know; the date, time and location of your wedding ceremony so begin by choosing and booking your venue of choice in the Cotswolds.

Once you’ve got those bits of information and booked your appointment, you can start planning the rest of the more exciting elements of your wedding day.


How do I find out if my favourite Cotswolds wedding venue is available on my date?

So, you’ve found your perfect wedding venue in the Cotswolds? Amazing!

Now, all you need to do is make sure that they have availability for your chosen date. Easy - most wedding venues have an easy-to-use, online form which enables you to request your preferred date and time – along with a few other minor details (like the names of the bride and groom to be).

Usually, one of the venue’s team members will get in touch within a couple of days and get it confirmed for you. Or, if you simply can’t wait – pick up the phone and give the venue a call. Let’s face it you’ve got a lot to be organising and every minute counts when you’re planning your wedding.


How do I organise a budget wedding in the cotwolds?

Weddings don’t always need to break the bank. If you’re looking to take things back to basics and keep your wedding simple, but still want it to be as equally special and romantic as a grander wedding – you can do just that in the Cotswolds.
Begin by looking for budget friendly venues, such as the The Fleece Inn, a quirky and charming location for your wedding in the Cotswolds. Other things you might want to consider if you’re on a budget is choosing smaller, family run companies to help you with some elements of your wedding day – declaring your love needn’t cost the earth!


What does the average wedding in the cotswolds cost?

When it comes to planning your wedding, most people will tell you that one of the first things you should consider is setting yourself a realistic budget. For that you will need to take various factors into account – number of guests, time of year and most importantly, location.

Regardless of where you decide to get married in the UK, the average cost of a wedding varies from one couple to the next. As the Cotswolds is highly sought after due to its stunning scenery and quintessential features, you may expect to pay slightly higher than the average UK wedding day which, according to recent research, currently sits at approximately £30,000.

But your perfect wedding ceremony in the Cotswolds needn’t cost that much. If your venue and location is one of the most important factors, account for that in your budget and you can make some cutbacks elsewhere – your guests truly won’t know any different!


What venues in the Cotswolds can accommodate the ceremony at the venue?

Many couples now choose to host their wedding within one place, rather than having a separate ceremony and reception venue. Whilst it may not be suitable for all weddings, choosing to keep your reception and ceremony at the same location does have its benefits – depending on the venue, it can be more cost effective, but also saves your guests the hassle of organising transport between the two.

If you’re looking for a venue in the Cotswolds that can host both your ceremony and reception, there are plenty of venues that for you to choose from. Just one option is The Barn at Upcote - a beautiful venue that allows you to host your ceremony and reception within their picturesque grounds- with both indoor and outdoor options, there’s something to suite everyone.
