Bonfire night wedding?

I totally think you could get away with that theme at a country hotel or house - they're usually the sort of place that has roaring log fires for instance.

But you might try a large country pub with function space, I know you said you weren't mad keen on "just a pub" but there are some really nice ones in the countryside and quite often you also get some accommodation too as they were often old style inns. Or perhaps you might consider a barn wedding if you wanted to go very rustic, and find somewhere you can totally make your own with all the decorations etc.

Wouldn't recommend a marquee in November though for damp/ cold related reasons!

What about an outside space with massive yurts or tipees? then you could have the outside fire and fireworks?

Have you considered a barn? We aren't having a bonfire theme but we are having sparklers and toffee apples as favours and this seems to be quite fitting with a barn :-)

Hi folks

Thanks for the suggestions - I like the idea of a barn or something similar, problem is finding one nearby! I wanted something a bit different I guess. What sort of venues are you all having?

I love the firework night idea. It's my favourite time of year so in getting married on Halloween. When we were looking at venues I loved the teepees. Some of them had fire pits in the teepee and the tables were set around them. They were fab. Didn't work out for us in the end but I'd definitely want to go to a wedding like that!

We're getting married in a small(ish) country house now, not as exciting but more practical for us.
