How we use photos
Every photo here is used under a free licence (Creative Commons BY, BY-SA or CC0) and credited on the image and on this page. Photos of places show the real place. Photos of customs, food and décor are there to illustrate and aren’t from weddings we planned. On a sample venue listing, the photo shows the area, not the venue.
