A HEREFORDSHIRE venue has been named one of the best places for a festival-style wedding in the UK.

Many weddings have already taken place at the various music festivals across the UK this summer, and there are more planned before the festival season comes to an end later this month.

For many couples, the right wedding venue is crucial to perfectly embodying the festival theme. According to Hitched, The Orchard at Munsley is one of the most popular festival wedding venues in the UK. If you can’t make it to your favourite music festival, you can bring the festival home by booking your wedding at The Orchard at Munsley.

The two-time Hitched Wedding Award winner, based in Herefordshire, offers a rural, idyllic outdoor venue and hosts a maximum of 15 weddings per year in the unique apple orchards, so couples looking for a fun, relaxed festival experience will need to book well in advance.

According to The Orchard’s website, the venue “offers total versatility for any wedding theme of your choosing in the tipis. The entire venue is yours for the duration, allowing you to relax and enjoy your special day without feeling rushed.”

Zoe Burke, leading wedding expert and editor of Hitched.co.uk, shares advice for anyone planning a festival wedding like The Orchard.

She suggests planning the logistics of the festival wedding carefully, making it practical with wearable decorations and wearing outfits that are as practical and simple as possible. “Wellies may not be everyone’s dream wedding shoes, but there’s absolutely no place for satin pumps or white ballet flats at a festival,” Ms Burke said.

The expert also suggests making the experience shareable so the entire guest list can participate, and creating a way to preserve precious memories and capture the magic by using a QR code or app that allows guests to share pictures of the day.

Finally, Ms. Burke encourages couples to embrace the new, enjoy the “relaxed atmosphere” and “make proper use of the food trucks.”
