Bodleian Library Weddings

It’s Saturday night, and we know what that means! Time to hit the dance floor! 💃🏼

Everyone’s wedding playlist is different, and everyone’s “Do Not Play” list is too, because our music tastes are all unique! Get to know our music tastes a little better, and maybe steal the songs for your own wedding day!

What must-have song is on your wedding playlist?

A glorious architectural display 🏛️

We spend so much time at the Bodleian that we forget to stop and take in the beauty sometimes. A conversation with Weddings by Nicola and Glen reminded us of how many details there are hidden around the Bodleian and the nearby buildings. What’s your favourite?

Dear August, we can’t wait to meet you! 🤍

True love in Duke Humfrey’s library. 📚

Did you know that along with being a beautiful study space, you can also get married in Duke Humfrey’s library. While these aren’t legal ceremonies, they’re a beautiful moment in a couple’s love story and makes them feel like they’ve stepped into a fairytale.

We love a fairytale moment, and this wedding was full of them! 🤍

C&A’s wedding was full of magical moments for them and their guests, who were swept away on a tour of Duke Humfrey’s upstairs after the ceremony. Meanwhile the couple enjoyed a private signing ceremony and their own magic moment in the library.

This beautiful small wedding had everything, smiles, laughter and a fantastic red bus!

Our ceremony-only packages are a wonderful compromise if you can’t choose between two venues, or don’t want to have a large reception. Many couples choose this option if they want to have a small dinner after their ceremony or have their heart set on Cherwell Boathouse for the reception.

If you think this would be right for you, send us an email today to get the ball rolling!
