Choosing your wedding venue is an exciting and challenging task. With so many beautiful locations, finding a unique venue can make your day even more special.
Here are some ideas to help you find the perfect location for your special day.
- Think about your personal style. What type of venue would best reflect your personality as a couple? Do you prefer a rustic barn, a modern industrial space or a marquee festival style? Remember the venue should match your overall theme and vibe of your wedding.
- Unleash the limits! There are lots of locations that can be just as unique such as art galleries, museums, botanical gardens or historic landmarks.
- It’s important to consider the logistics when choosing a unique wedding venue. Make sure the venue has the capacity to accommodate your guest list and there are the necessary facilities such as restrooms, parking and catering options.
- Some venues have restrictions on certain suppliers which can limit you if you are looking to create a unique wedding, so do your research! It’s also a good idea to enquire about noise curfews.
- Once you have your shortlist, make an appointment and visit the venue in person. This will give you a feel for the space, ambience and is a great opportunity to talk with the wedding coordinator.

Here are my top 5 reasons why Pimhill Barn is a unique Shrewsbury Wedding Venue.
- Location – set amidst stunning countryside, making it the perfect backdrop for a wedding ceremony and reception. The private gardens are enchanting and are exclusively used for immediate family portraits.
- 16th Century Barn – Dating back to the Elizabethan era, the barn is an atmospheric space with exposed wooden beams, that are ideal for decorating with bunting, florals and fairy lights, give a rustic feel that provides a romantic, intimate feel for a wedding. Hiring the barn for your wedding allows for 2.5 days so that you can decorate it in your style.
- Flexible Space – The barn can be configured to suit different layouts taking you from ceremony to wedding breakfast and through to your first dance and reception party. There is always the option to add on marquees to the back of the barn should you need even more space for your guests or are looking for a larger area in the Winter months. Your wedding catering suppliers will appreciate the modern kitchen area with access and space for a bar nearby.
- Experienced Team – With extensive organising skills the Pimhill Barn team are fantastic at coordinating weddings and will help you plan out every detail of your special day.
- Sustainability – Committed to operating in an environmentally friendly way which is an added bonus when looking for an eco friendly wedding venue.

Wedding photography for me should be just as individual as each couple. Using the same location I can create a completely different photograph.
