In 2021 I was fortunate enough to officiate some beautiful ceremonies in some beautiful (and sometime unique) venues around the country, so this got me thinking about some of the other amazing venues the UK has to offer and which ones I would really love to conduct a ceremony in in 2022! So in this blog I'll be highlighting 5 venues that are on my wish list, all for different reasons but all gorgeous in their own right.
What kind of venue would you choose for your celebrations! Keep an eye out for part 2!
Fitzrovia Chapel is a hidden treasure located in the heart of the city of London. There can be few more visually amazing venues to hold your ceremony than this stunning Chapel. Intimate and unique in its flavour, this Grade II* listed chapel exudes grace, beauty, history and Gothic charm.
With its breathtaking feature golden mosaic ceiling over the nave, 17 different types of marble and intricate mosaic flooring, the Fitzrovia Chapel is a dazzling backdrop for any wedding.
I was due to officiate a ceremony here in December 2021 which was unfortunately postponed at the last minute due to covid complications, so fingers crossed Fitzrovia Chapel will be crossed off my list before very long!!
