Some people spend years dreaming about their wedding day, so when the day finally arrives it is important for everything to be as perfect as possible. The venue for the wedding is an essential and integral part in creating that most special of days. Everyone has their own personal vision when it comes to the ideal wedding venue, but historic buildings are a popular choice for some very good reasons.

Unique

There are many beautiful and unique modern buildings in the world. But there is something truly magical about an ancient building, perhaps due to its history and the way it may have been used, adapted and remodelled over the years. Holding your wedding in a venue that is steeped in history adds that extra special ingredient to the ‘Perfect Wedding’ recipe. It can make you and your guests feel as though you have been transported back to a bygone era and is an ideal choice for people who have a theme that can be reflected in the historic surroundings. As a 9th Century Priory, La Verrière has the benefit of being a substantial house in a breathtaking setting, with an austere religious past – making it adaptable to many different wedding themes.

Aesthetics

Weddings held in historic buildings are a photographer’s dream. The opportunities for stunning and unusual shots are plentiful. If you are planning a dream day with beautiful dresses and perfect flowers, it makes sense that you will want an alluring setting. With older buildings comes character, enabling you to soak up the atmosphere as well as appreciating the aesthetics. Because ancient buildings tend to be transformed and renovated over the years, they often have an array of different spaces you can use, making your photographic memories even more special.

Flexibility

Having lots of options makes historic venues perfect for weddings, providing different areas for different stages of the proceedings. At La Verrière we have a number of areas to choose from for sitting, eating and socialising, including the wonderful gardens which are located on the edge of a stunning UNESCO world heritage site. There are also rooms to accommodate 17 guests, so the ‘Wedding Day’ can become a ‘Wedding Stay’.

If you are planning your dream wedding, La Verrière has so much to offer. You can hire the whole house for both the celebration and the eco-luxury accommodation. We can arrange the very best in catering, using local and organic produce. La Verrière is also home to the award-winning Chêne Bleu wines, so you can accompany your Wedding fare with wines from our very own ancient vineyards.
