Why get married in Somerset?


Somerset is one of the South West’s most popular destinations for a wedding or elopement.

A county full of charm, it offers a mix of vibrant towns, historic landmarks, and rolling countryside. From rustic barns and countryside manors to elegant venues in market towns, Somerset has something to suit every coupleโ€™s dream wedding.

Steeped in history, Somerset boasts ancient roots dating back to Roman and medieval times. Itโ€™s home to iconic sites like Glastonbury Tor, Wells Cathedral, and Cheddar Gorge โ€“ places that attract thousands of visitors every year and make it a truly magical location to tie the knot.

The countyโ€™s landscape is as diverse as its venues. Whether itโ€™s the limestone cliffs of the Mendips, the tranquil Somerset Levels, or panoramic views across Exmoor, the natural beauty here offers a stunning backdrop for your wedding photos.

Famous towns like Glastonbury, Frome, and Wells are packed with character and history, while picturesque villages such as Dunster and Montacute offer a more rural, intimate charm. Wherever you choose, youโ€™re guaranteed to find breathtaking spots for those all-important photo opportunities.
