Majestic Places to Celebrate
Majestic Places to Celebrate
Imagine an intimate outdoor summer wedding on an island on the Avon
River as swans glide by or exchanging vows at Christmas time with a
handful of close friends in a heritage B&B. There is always the
charm of a pastoral wedding in a beautiful grove of trees, an Amish
carriage ride and a banquet under the stars created by a master chef
using local foods. These are just a few of the enchanting venues that
Stratford offers throughout the year.
With a place as naturally
beautiful and charming as Stratford with a theatrical aura, it is hard
to think of any other place that whispers perfect romance.
Here is a short selection of suggested venues and places we think are
perfect for a special and memorable celebration of devotion.
