Planning a wedding in Leicester
Leicester is one of the most diverse cities in Britain, and that has given it a wedding industry with real depth. Suppliers here are used to everything from intimate register office ceremonies to large Hindu, Sikh and Muslim weddings that run over several days, with mehndi and sangeet nights, big guest lists and elaborate stage decoration. The city's Diwali celebrations draw visitors from far beyond the region, and the same skills in lighting, decor and catering feed into its weddings.
Venue choices
Within the city you will find banqueting suites built for large numbers, hotels and historic buildings. Leicester Cathedral, where Richard III was reburied, and the old streets around it are a good area for photographs. Out in the county, Leicestershire's villages and rolling farmland bring barns, country houses and golf clubs, and Charnwood Forest to the north-west has rocky outcrops and woodland. Couples often look towards Oadby, Kirby Muxloe, Syston and Enderby for suppliers who cover both town and country.
Tips for planning
- For large weddings, confirm the venue's true capacity for a seated meal, not just a standing reception, and check parking.
- Many caterers specialise in particular cuisines. Arrange a tasting and ask how they handle dietary requirements across a large group.
- If you are combining a religious ceremony with a separate reception, make sure your photographer, videographer and decorators can cover both locations and the travel time between them.
The M1 and M69 pass close to the city, and the Midland Main Line runs to London St Pancras and the north. East Midlands Airport is within easy reach for guests flying in.
Legal requirements
In England, civil ceremonies must be held at a register office or approved premises, and you give notice at your local register office. If your religious ceremony is not legally binding on its own, the register office can explain your options.
Book decorators and caterers early for popular festival seasons and summer weekends.
