Planning a Barn, Marquee or Field Wedding? Why UK Couples Are Embracing Relaxed, Stylish Celebrations in 2025 and 2026

If you're recently engaged and dreaming of a wedding that feels authentic, relaxed and outdoorsy (but still stylish and memorable), you're in good company. More and more couples in the UK are turning away from traditional venues and instead choosing barns, marquees and even family fields for their big day.

So what’s behind the shift? For many couples planning weddings in 2025 or 2026, it comes down to freedom, flexibility and a desire to make the day feel like theirs — not something out of a brochure.

And if you’re in your 30s, busy with work or raising young children, that blank canvas can be both exciting and completely overwhelming. That’s where I come in.

At Wedding Regency, I specialise in helping couples like you create beautifully personal weddings in barns, marquees and fields across Somerset and the South West — without the pressure, stress or unrealistic Pinterest expectations.

Let’s explore why this trend is booming, and how I can help bring it all together for you.
