Discover the Benefits Today
We all know someone who has had a destination wedding. It’s easy to see the appeal: nice weather, the convenience of combining a fun-filled holiday with your wedding. For some couples, though, getting married closer to home is the perfect choice for them. Here is why lots of people are looking to the best wedding venues Essex has to offer rather than booking flights to somewhere on the other side of the world.
It’s cheaper
First things first: getting married in a wedding venue here tends to be a lot cheaper than doing it abroad! Of course, the size of weddings can vary hugely, but if you were to have the same number of guests here as you would for your destination wedding, you’ll find that the costs are a lot lower. There are some big misconceptions about the prices of UK wedding venues, but there are some great packages to be found!
Less legal hassles
There is far less legal stress when you choose to get married here. A non-negotiable when getting married in many countries is that all legal documents must be translated into the local language by a certified translator. Some counties also require witnesses to be residents of that county. This means it is often easier to have a legal ceremony at home. So you will be having two ceremonies to ensure your marriage is legally recognised. You can avoid all of this by getting married in the UK.
More people will be able to attend
Weddings are all about sharing your special day with loved ones. When you get married abroad, though, chances are fewer of them will be able to attend. Whether it’s because of the travel costs or the long journey being too much for younger or elderly guests, you’ll be whittling down your guestlist. Having your wedding in the UK means many more people are able to attend, helping you to make amazing memories.
No need for a second celebration
When you get married abroad, there is often pressure to have another celebration for those who couldn’t make it to the destination wedding. Depending on where you hold this and how many people come, this could cost as much as getting married here would in the first place! So why not reduce the need for double the celebrations and put the money you save toward your honeymoon instead?
Where to begin
As you can see, there are quite a few benefits to getting married right here in the UK. If keeping your special day closer to home feels right for you and your partner, why not start looking at Essex wedding venues today? You could get married in beautiful gardens or a stunning rustic barn; we think that can rival a tropical beach any day!
