Wedding photography and film at The Belfry

The Belfry is a hotel wedding venue set across 550 acres of Warwickshire and Staffordshire countryside in the Midlands, best known as one of the UK's most celebrated golf resorts and the host of four Ryder Cups.

One of the UK's most famous golf resorts in 550 acres of Warwickshire and Staffordshire countryside, The Belfry combines spacious hotel event facilities, championship golf parkland, and the legacy of four Ryder Cups in a well-appointed and highly accessible package.

We find that venues with this kind of scale and heritage offer something genuinely rare: wide open parkland, gracious interiors, and a sense of occasion that needs very little dressing up. The championship course and grounds give couples an extraordinary natural backdrop, with long sightlines and open sky that work beautifully for both photography and film. It is absolutely a venue we would love to bring our cameras to.

Frequently asked questions about The Belfry

What is it like to get married at The Belfry?

Getting married at The Belfry means celebrating at one of the UK's most recognised and storied golf resorts, set across 550 acres of Warwickshire and Staffordshire countryside. The venue blends the grandeur of a large hotel with beautifully kept parkland, giving couples a sense of occasion that is hard to match in the Midlands. Its legacy as a four-time Ryder Cup host adds a real sense of heritage and prestige to the day.

How does the parkland setting affect wedding photography and videography at The Belfry?

The 550 acres of championship golf parkland give photographers and videographers an exceptional variety of backdrops, from manicured fairways and water features to the hotel's elegant architecture. For video in particular, the space allows us to capture wide, cinematic footage that tells the full story of the day rather than being confined to a single indoor setting. Venues with this kind of outdoor scale tend to produce some of the most visually rich wedding films and photo collections we work with.

Can we book Big Day Productions to photograph or film our wedding at The Belfry?

Absolutely, we would love to be part of your day at The Belfry. Simply get in touch with us through our website to check your date and have a chat about what you are looking for. We work with couples at a wide range of Midlands venues and are always excited to bring our approach to a location with as much character and space as this one.

Is The Belfry easy for guests to get to?

The Belfry is widely regarded as one of the most accessible large wedding venues in the Midlands, sitting close to major road networks that connect the wider region. Its well-known location means guests travelling from across the UK tend to find it straightforward to reach, whether they are driving or arriving by public transport. The resort also has on-site hotel accommodation, which takes a lot of the logistical pressure off couples when it comes to guests staying overnight.

Does The Belfry have accommodation for wedding guests?

Yes, as a full hotel and resort, The Belfry has on-site accommodation so guests can stay the night without needing to arrange separate transport or find nearby hotels. This is a real advantage for couples who want their celebration to carry on into the evening without anyone worrying about getting home. Having guests under the same roof as the wedding often makes for a more relaxed and sociable atmosphere throughout the day.

What should we think about when planning our wedding film or photos at a large hotel resort like The Belfry?

With a venue this size, one of the best things you can do is plan a short location walk with your photographer and videographer before the day, so everyone knows which spots you want to use and how to move between them efficiently. The mix of indoor event spaces and outdoor parkland at The Belfry means there is genuine flexibility, but making the most of it works best with a little advance coordination. We always recommend building some relaxed portrait time into your schedule so we can make full use of the surroundings without it feeling rushed.
