Affordable Outdoor Wedding Venues: Nature's Beauty on a Budget By John Hinds
Garden Weddings
Weddings need not cost the Earth. In fact, getting back to the earth – to the great outdoors – can be a wonderful way of reducing the financial cost of your wedding while providing so many unique benefits at the same time.
Garden magic
Your own garden may or may not be large enough to host your wedding, but you'd be surprised just how many people you might have in your family or circle of friends that may have a suitable space that they'd be happy for you to borrow. If not, fear not because in this glorious modern age there's a website for that. Borrow My Garden allows you to search by region for gardens available to rent for weddings and other parties. There's nothing quite like a garden wedding. It feels special and intimate. You are going back to nature without the hidden surprises. They also invariably have the perfect spot for that magical tipi that provides shelter from the sun or, whisper it, the rain.
Approaching botanical gardens, stately homes & national parks
All of the above are options in the UK and can prove affordable should you get the right place on the right deal. It is definitely worth searching for some of these options in a variety of areas that you'd be happy with travelling to. You simply never know what you might find. The Cairngorms and Exmoor are just two national parks that have some breathtaking wedding venue options and the UK is blessed with a whole host of wonderful stately homes, not all of which come at the highest premium.

UK Loos Limited
If you are thinking of having a ‘garden wedding’ then one of the most important elements to consider is your guests comfort.
At UK Loos.com, we operate a fleet of 400 + portable toilets. These units are ideal when value for money and portability are the key factors. We deliver, setup and remove at the end of your event 7 days a week.
All the units in this portable range are dark green in colour and supplied with a foot pump flush and hand gel sanitiser to maintain high levels of hygiene for users.
These single units are always supplied to the highest standards, despite being the entry level option. They are fully self contained and only require a level surface which can be grass or hard standing.
Did you know, UK Loos doesn’t just hire portable toilets - we also hire fridge trailers! Whether you need them for events, festivals, or emergency storage, we’ve got what you need.
It’s never too early to get your plans sorted. Secure your fridge trailer hire now & keep your cool in 2025.
GO GREEN WITH OUR ECO LOOS
Did you know traditional flushing toilets use gallons of water every day? Our compost loos save water, reduce waste, & turn what’s left into nutrient-rich compost perfect for fertilising plants!
With odour control technology & natural decomposition processes, they’re eco-friendly & user-friendly. Let’s flush away the old habits & embrace sustainable solutions for a better future.
