Wedding Venues in Derbyshire Heeelllpp.

NorthernLights, 7 of March of 2016 at 11:19 Posted on Planning 0 10

Hi Guys,

Right at the start of our wedding planning and need some help!

We're looking for a venue, my parents would like us to get married in Derbyshire which is totally cool....

However, My partner and I aren't fans of stately homes and things like that and much prefer like modern barns and marquees.. (LOVE places with the big white drapes .... )

We're really struggling to find places in Derbyshire that are modern, can anyone help please?

Thank you so much! ?

    What about hotel type places? The Best Western in Kegworth is lovely, and although technically in South Yorkshire, the Mosborough Hall Best Western is lovely too. I know acouple of people who got married at Ringwood Hall Hotel who were impressed with what they got but I didn't go to them. And in terms of marquee type things, a friend had teepee marquees in the gardens of Woodthorpe Hall. It looked amazing with loads of fairy lights, modern but relaxed.

    I can picture one more venue in my head that a school friend got martied in but I can't remember the name. If it comes to me I'll pop it on. All that keeps coming to mind is that they had fish and chips!

    For a barn in Derbyshire I always think of Donington Park Farmhouse which is about 30 mins down the road from me in Leicester

    The first dance shot in my sig is also from another wedding I shot there

    Derbyshire is my stomping ground.

    If you want a modern barn then the two places that spring to immediately mind would be Swancar Farm & Carriage Hall. They're both in Nottingham though but it's not far from Derby as you probably already know. Swancar is ludicrously busy but absolutely GORGEOUS.

    There's also Shottle Hall which has a barn too and that's in Derbyshire. Again Shottle is incredibly popular.

    For a marquee you can try Osmaston Park which is also in Derbyshire.

    Hope that helps

    Images that you may of seen of venues with drapes could also of been done (draped ) by outside venue dressers. So most venues, not all, could have drapes added if that's the look you are wanting to go for.

    Sometimes the reason a drape is used in a venue is to cover things up, so you may come across a venue where drapes would actually spoil a venue.

    Here is a gallery of some of my past weddings at Donington Park Farmhouse - hope it helps
