Since Lynn came this side of the pond we have seen a massive increase in 
the number of licensed venues for civil marriages (different and same 
sex now).  A number of them, imcluding where my own son got married, are 
hotels in beautiful grounds which offer the reception and accommodation 
on site.  Where mu niese got married last year, and I did a blessing in 
the garden afterwards, did not offer accommodation but was another 
lovely setting. Such an arangement offers some advantages over a church 
wedding since the need to transport people from ceremony to reception is 
avoided.
