While many people choose to fly to the sea side for their destination wedding, it is worth considering the rugged beauty of West Yorkshire.
Situated just a four-hour car journey north of London, the moors of West Yorkshire offer an amazing setting for a summer wedding. There are a huge number of venues available outside the city of Leeds, which itself has developed into a thriving hub for local businesses and offers plenty of sights to amuse your guests.
The Saddleworth Hotel offers opulent surroundings in which to tie the knot, as does Allerton Castle. The latter is truly spectacular and affords amazing views over England’s famous rolling hills. Carlton Towers boasts similarly amazing surroundings for those who are looking for a traditional, Victorian venue. If your taste tends to be more modern, check out the Gomersal Park Hotel or the Village Urban Resort.
West Yorkshire is usually wet and cold in winter, and destination wedding planners recommend booking venues between June and August to maximize your chances of getting good weather. Access from the international flight hub of London is easy and it will be a memorable occasion for your nearest and dearest.
Dates fill up quickly at the more prestigious venues and it is worth booking ahead of time to ensure a stress-free wedding planning experience. Destination wedding brochures are dominated by sun, sea and sand destinations, but why not try something different in West Yorkshire.
