London, on ceremony locations?

Hi Lynnie

The reception will be at one of the hotels - haven't decided which one yet! The main reason I wanted them at separate locations was to give the guests time away from each other. Most of the guests will be staying for a number of days with local family members and I know by the time the wedding gets here, they will probably want some time apart, even if it's just an hour! I'm also looking into a group discount for rooms at the reception hotel.

I've been in touch with the local council about some of their gardens/parks which I think will be suitable for the ceremony. Neither of us are really religious so having a religious ceremony would feel weird for us.

Hi Lucy! Where are you having your reception? I feel like most couples either have their ceremony at their reception venue, or have a religious ceremony in a place of worship.

You could also look at public parks or college chapels!
