Here are our top five reasons why you should jump at the chance to host a wedding in the city:
- Cities are a wonder of venues of all different types and sizes, from intimate restaurant spaces to botanical gardens to castles and observatories.
- The city scenery is so varied, from hilltop views of epic skylines to cobbled streets and moody alleyways. You can have it all, leading to spectacular photography opportunities.
- Everything is on your doorstep, and with transport options galore, you don’t have to stop at one venue or location. Feel free to throw in a few and delight your guests by showcasing your city’s top spots.
- The energy in the city is very different. Most couples want to tap into that buzz and create vibrant guest experiences. Be that music, food, or the historical wow factor cities tend to have.
- A city destination provides an accessible hub for guests. So, if you have guests traveling internationally, easy access to an airport goes a long way to making travel planning a much less taxing experience. And they can combine celebrating with you and exploring a city they’ve always wanted to visit. Win, win.
