Every year, I’m sent a list of the most instagrammable wedding venues in the UK, and I have to be honest about how this makes me feel. Choosing your wedding venue shouldn’t mean playing along to a social media popularity contest. So Blenheim Palace has most hashtags… it’s certainly not every couple’s cup of tea!

The UK has some stunning destinations for a wedding weekend away from home. The Lakes, the Highlands and the Cotswolds are personal favourites for me.

Today on English Wedding, talented wedding planner Mel from Your Story Events shares her very best tips to help you find the perfect Cotswold wedding venue for you.
