From glistening lakes covered in ice, snow covered turrets, rich, red berries and roaring log fires, winter is an incredible season to tie the knot. At AmaZing Venues we pride ourselves in delivering magical winter weddings in beautiful properties that lend themselves perfectly to the sparkling festive season.
Our venues range from a stunning French inspired Chateau in Anglesey, a former Abbey in Worcestershire to historic sea Forts just off the coast of Portsmouth. These locations all offer something different and unique, with their own atmosphere and wonder, but are universal in offering incredible views, gourmet dining and grand architecture. All our hotels are licensed for civil ceremonies and cater for any special requirements to ensure you have the day you’ve always dreamed of.
Château Rhianfa, on the Isle of Anglesey in Wales, provides a wonderful setting for truly fairy-tale inspired winter wedding celebration. This beguiling architectural treasure, inspired by the styles favoured in the Loire region of France, sits in a commanding setting overlooking the tranquil Menai Strait with views of the glorious snow topped peaks of the Snowdonia mountain range. No matter the size of your wedding, the Château boasts a series of exquisite rooms to host your guests. What’s more, the amazingly picturesque setting and glorious gardens beside the sea provide breath-taking backdrops for your wedding photographs. Make sure to explore the Château’s wonderful Summer House with its dove boxes in the roof, the swing made for two and the mighty red dragon guarding the coast. When you return to the Château’s cosy interiors, you can expect atmospheric rooms boasting wonderful wooden paneling, large log fires and an incredible Winter Terrace to enjoy the stunning view. Finish the evening with a glass of Champagne in the candlelit Wine Cave, your very own private bar and a unique setting for intimate wedding day photographs.
The most momentous day of your life demands a suitably magical and dramatic setting. Stanbrook Abbey not only rises, but flies high above, even the highest expectations.

Having undergone careful refurbishment, Stanbrook Abbey is now more stunning than ever and boasts 51 beautiful bedrooms as well as a 5 bedroom Manor House, perfect for the bridal party to prepare themselves in unrivalled luxury.
It’s the most important day of your life, so we understand that you’ll really want to push the boat out. Where could be a more amazing, romantic and unusual location for your ceremony and celebrations than Britain’s very first luxury islands? The Solent Forts consist of three Victorian sea fortresses which include the intimate Spitbank Fort and the larger No Man’s Fort and Horse Sand Fort. Two of these forts (Spitbank and No Man’s Fort) have been beautifully transformed into incredible wedding venues, providing a luxurious cocoon of indulgence, privacy and exclusivity. Leave your nerves on the mainland as you and your party assemble in the Departure Lounge before being taken across the waves to the fort of your choice. Spitbank Fort is ideal for small, personal weddings and offers a choice of three bars and three dining rooms exclusively for you and your party, as well as sun decks, hot tub, sauna, fire pit and games room. You’ll have you own chef to provide food and drink fit for an admiral of the fleet, supported by a full crew to offer superb personal service. Once you finally run out of steam and need to turn in for the night there are nine wonderful bedroom suites in which to moor up for the night.
