At the end of the beautiful tree-lined driveway, The Gardens at Polehanger is the perfect spot to hold weddings between April and October.

The manicured gardens have heaps of space and offers a stunning setting with flower beds full of colour and uninterrupted countryside views. The blank canvas spaces allow couples to bring in their own structure and all other suppliers so lovebirds can create exactly what they want for their special day – the bigger the imagination, the better!

Couples hiring the venue will have exclusive use of the site for the wedding day, which includes the six-bedroom farmhouse. There's also parking, power and water provided. The team works with wedding planner and event manager, Chloe from White Button Weddings to liaise with couples and suppliers while overseeing the day – so wedding parties can enjoying the special day.

The 18th-century farmhouse has been newly refurbished, with new bathrooms and furniture throughout. Each room is spacious, with comfy king size beds and stunning décor – a fantastic place to prepare for the day and to rest weary heads after celebrating. Couples can have celebrant-led blessings and receptions with 120 people in the beautiful gardens in the open air, or they can choose to hire a structure such as a yurt, pole marquee, stretch tent or tipi.

The Meadows at Polehanger has extra accommodation with four luxury cabins just a short walk away from the Gardens at Polehanger – it's the perfect place for guest to stay. Each one sleep up to four adults or two adults and up to four children. The cabins are well equipped with a king size bed, bunk beds and a sofa bed, as well as a small kitchen and bathroom.

Are Brits risking their finances by avoiding the pre-wedding money talk?

Are Brits risking their finances by avoiding the pre-wedding money talk?

For many couples, talking about money can feel far less romantic than talking about the wedding itself. But as more Brits prepare to tie the knot — and with stronger legal rights on the horizon for unmarried couples — new research suggests we may be leaving some important financial conversations until it's too late. From avoiding money talk on first dates to steering clear of prenups, the findings reveal a nation surprisingly reluctant to discuss how to protect their finances, even when differences over money are already putting relationships under strain. Two thirds of Brits (66%) say they would not get a prenuptial agreement before marriage (48%) or have already opted against one (17%) - compared to 42% in both France and Spain. New findings from Europe's second largest neobank, bunq, reveal that Brits are markedly more resistant to prenuptial agreements than their continental neighbours – despite Britain's reputation as the less romantic nation.

Couples could legally get married anywhere - legal comment

The UK Government has unveiled a new consultation to reform the wedding laws in England and Wales which is exploring how wedding ceremonies are conducted, particularly looking at wedding venues. The proposals are seeking to modernise the outdated legislation in this area which will eventually provide couples with greater freedom to decide where and how they will get married. At present, when a couple gets married, they need to have their legal ceremony in a licensed building or a registered place of worship. The existing laws have a further requirement that couples must ensure the individual officiating their wedding ceremony is either an authorised religious minister or a civil registrar.
