2020 has been a year like no other for those planning their weddings with an estimated 75,000 weddings postponed this year. However, it has given couples the freedom to let go of all those big wedding expectations; and for brides and grooms who would like a more intimate day, Mercure's Microwedding experience is the perfect solution. From country houses to city-centre modern, couples can find a Mercure venue to suit their personality and suit the new government guidelines...

Celebrated as the next big thing even before 2020, the microwedding is a deeply personal experience that throws out the rulebook along with the bouquet toss and off-putting pressures of traditional nuptials. Giving you time to focus on what's important: you, your love and your future together.
At any of Mercure's exceptional licensed venues, you can rest assured your microwedding is following all the latest guidelines. Here's a pick of three of the venues on offer...

Mercure Gloucester – a picturesque Georgian country house surrounded by 12-acres acres of rolling park and woodland on the outskirts of Gloucester. This venue provides modern elegance blended with country estate grandeur.
Mercure Salisbury – situated at the heart of the Medieval market town, opposite the Cathedral, the historic hotel offers an intimate wedding venue option with three historical spaces to choose from.
Mercure Box Hill – positioned amongst the striking North Downs, this prestigious property offers picture-perfect details to add sparkle to a wedding day. The striking wooden beamed Tithe Barn blends historical beauty with a modern experience.

The Mircowedding experience will host up to 15 guests, following government guidelines. Couples should contact their preferred Mercure hotel directly to enquire about rates and dates available.
