Or does does the law mean you have to get married inside a venue? Sorry if it is a silly question

I think as it stands, the church or venue will have a licence to hold marriages and if they have a licence they can marry you on the grounds. So I would have thought that you could get married outside as long as your venue agrees/has the facilities.

Hi Betsy,

I'm a wedding planner so I have some experience with this. You can not legally marry in the UK outdoors-it's a really old law that needs to go. You can however have a non-legal ceremony outdoors. What I suggest is to do the registrar bit then have your wedding as normal.

Hope that helps!

Interesting. Help me out here Heidi as you will know. Were they not going to propose to change the law so that it was the registrar/religious person to hold the licence rather than the building - thus enabling people to marry where they desire. I'm sure I read that some time ago as I remember thinking it would be lovely to marry somewhere whacky like in a wood, and then I realised it was England and I was probably better off indoors

You certainly can in Scotland. I am getting married this September beside Caig Falls, near Spean Bridge in the Highlands. www.forestry.gov.uk/woodlandweddings
Can't wait!
It's a beautiful venue, but you can only have a maximum of 20 guests.

Oh that looks great. Are you nervous about the weather though?
