6 Derbyshire Wedding venues
Did you say “YES”? Then congratulations! The real planning will start now and the first on your list of “to do jobs” will probably be - where? There are always doubts about the importance of area and style of a venue. Unless you want a wedding on the beach or coast, then Derbyshire has it all! Derbyshire is considered as one of the UK’s most picturesque counties. The region is situated close to the airports (in case you have family and friends coming from abroad) as well as numerous attractive towns and villages, being part of the Peak District national park.
Are you looking for countryside or modern city hotel, Derbyshire can offer both. There are many beautiful wedding venues of different styles, coming with accommodation, DIY venue or as a full package. I would love to suggest you 6 wedding venues - all different styles, sizes & offerings.
