Unusual Venues: Silver screen and TV

Glamour. Drama. Excitement. When you walk down the aisle you could be following in the footsteps of a major movie or TV star. Your wedding could take place where a costume drama or romantic comedy was filmed. You could marry where a horror film, a thriller or a TV classic was made. The wedding reception toast could be sipped in the shadow of some of the biggest names in film and television. These wedding venues also include the film studios that were the backbone of the British film industry as well as providing expertise for Hollywood movies. Lots of licensed civil wedding venues have welcomed film crews to their premises and now your wedding video could make the perfect Sunday afternoon movie.

Pinewood Studios have hosted some of the cinema's great love stories. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra, Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren in Arabesque, Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe in the Prince and the Showgirl and Clark Kent and Lois Lane in Superman, Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby, Sid James and Barbara Windsor in the Carry On movies and for those or a more weird nature you could add Ripley and the Alien. Maybe not that last one. Heatherden Hall itself is probably best remembered at SPECTRE Island in Sean Connery's second James Bond movie, From Russia With Love.
