Choose A Location As Unique As You

There is so much to consider when you’re planning a wedding but it all becomes easier once the big decisions are made. One of these decisions is where to hold your ceremony and celebration, and Jersey Heritage has a host of beautiful locations that are as unique as you.

Gone are the days when you were tied to traditional venues. Instead, you can start the story of your life together at a fort or a castle, a pagan spiritual site or a Victorian house –whichever magical and unique place takes your fancy and feels most like “you”.

By choosing one of more than 20

Jersey Heritage locations for your wedding, you’ll also be giving something back to the Island; Jersey Heritage is a registered charity and all income generated from weddings goes directly towards maintaining and funding projects to care for and protect the Island’s rich history.

Whether you’re planning a simple, intimate ceremony or a lavish celebration, your wedding will be made even more memorable set against the backdrop of a historic site, many of them also offering somewhere to stay over. Here’s a flavour of some of the most popular sites that couples choose

Mont Orgueil Castle

Parish: St Martin

Atmosphere: Majestic and breath-taking

Mont Orgueil castle is one of the best-preserved castles in Britain and one of the most striking and attractive sites on the Island. Built in the 13th century and with spectacular views of Jersey’s east coast and across the sea to France, it creates a breath-taking backdrop for a wedding ceremony and/ or reception.

Elizabeth Castle

Parish: St Helier

Atmosphere: A spectacular experience

Elizabeth Castle sits within the picturesque bay of St Aubin, overlooking the south coast of Jersey and is completely surrounded by the sea twice a day. You and your guests will be transported across from the shore in one of the Castle Ferries and ceremonies and celebrations are held in the 16th century Governor’s House. A truly unique experience.

La Hougue Bie

Parish: Grouville

Atmosphere: Magical and tranquil

This ancient, magical site is among the ten oldest buildings in the world. The rural, peaceful grounds are capped by a grassed hill topped by the small picturesque 12th century chapel of Notre Dame de la Clarte, where small religious ceremonies can take place. Civil ceremonies can be held on a beautiful Victorian veranda and celebrations can be held in a marquee in the shade of mature trees.

Hamptonne Country Life Museum

Parish: St Lawrence

Atmosphere: Idyllic and rural

Hamptonne is a collection of fine, traditional Jersey farmhouses dating back to 17th century, which have been restored to their original beauty. Located in the heart of the Island’s countryside, it is an idyllic site for a wedding ceremony and reception. Options include taking your vows under an original porchway; signing the register in front of an open fire; and celebrating your union overlooking a beautiful meadow.

Jersey Museum, Art Gallery & Victorian House

Parish: St Helier

Atmosphere: Beautiful and intimate

The Victorian House adjoins Jersey Museum & Art Gallery and is one of the finest examples of a 19th century townhouse in Jersey. The house has been fully restored so that it appears exactly as it would have done in 1861 when it was home to a prosperous family in Victorian St Helier. Civil ceremonies are held in the beautiful gas-lit drawing room and the museum courtyard and gardens are available for drinks. The house is also perfect for an intimate reception.
