As a destination wedding photographer, who is based in the US (Chicago & Colorado) and in Europe (Munich, Germany) I travel mainly between France, Italy, Spain and England. One of my favorite destination wedding locations in England is a luxury English wedding venue in the Cotswolds – The Barnsley House.

The Cotswolds comprise the Cotswold Hills, a range of rolling hills in south central and south west England. The main town is Cirencester, a market town in Gloucestershire in England, 80 miles west of London. Cirencester lies on the River Churn and is the largest town in the Cotswolds. And it is here, where you can find a little hidden gem called the Barnsley House.

The Barnsley House offers you a romantic country house retreat, nestled in the picture-perfect Cotswold village of Cirencester. It is the perfect location for your elopement. Fairytale gardens evoke an intimate and timeless feel worth your wedding celebration. And there are so many beautiful backdrops to choose from in the gardens with locations displaying English architecture. Its hideaway garden spa lets you nourish your spirit and soul. And your body will thank you when dining the delicious dishes with local produce at this peaceful special place. This luxury venue can host up to 100 guests for the ceremony, up to 70 for the wedding breakfast in the restaurant or up to 120 in a marquee in the grounds. And with 18 individually designed bedrooms—plus 6 more at The Village Pub across the road—this luxury English wedding venue has plenty of room for your guests to stay over and enjoy everything we have to offer. Treat your guests to an intimate getaway, where they can celebrate the both of you while relaxing.
