MAFS UK is back with a whole roster of couples to root for. Plus, some serious real estate porn in the form of Married At First Sight UK wedding venues. It's the most wonderful (and drama-filled) time of the year.
Last night's (Sunday 21 September) episode kicked off the series with the first two weddings taking place. Both Sarah and Dean and Davide and Keye got married, and while both ceremonies had their highs and lows, we can definitely agree that the venues were to die for.
The Summer I Turned Pretty fans turned the finale into a community “spectator sport”. Because binge-watching (without your girls) is so 2024.
Because no matter how each wedding shakes out, we love seeing the contestants' families and friends congregate in some of the most gorgeous buildings in the country – and, let's face it, the pics are gorge.
So whether you're planning a wedding and looking for inspiration, or you're just damn nosy, we've rounded up everything we know about the wedding venues featured so far on MAFS UK 2025.
MAFS UK wedding venues
Here are the two Married At First Sight UK wedding venues that were featured on the first episode of the series.
Luton Hoo
Keye and Davide got married at Luton Hoo, a gorgeous hotel, golf and spa resort on the border of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. The couple seemed like a perfect match, bonding over their previous heartbreak experiences and Keye excitedly telling them cameras that he thought that Davide was “very handsome”, adding that he had a “beautiful jaw line" and that “I fancy him massively”.
The location seemed to host a picture-perfect wedding, with the newly married couple dancing happily together and Keye promising Davide's mother that he would take care of him. Cute.
At Luton Hoo, guests visit the Mansion House, which is located in a country resort set over 1,000 acres. The spa includes an indoor infinity pool, a heat therapy suite and treatment rooms. Lush. It's also available for non-wedding-related overnight stays and afternoon tea, if you just fancy a visit without your nuptials already lined up.
The hotel has been described in reviews as “elegant and historic” and is temporarily closing later this month for a refit – get booked in to see its new era!
North Mymms Park

Sarah and Dean, the first couple to tie the knot on this year's series, exchanged vows at this picturesque location just outside of London.
North Mymms Park boasts a 16th-century Elizabethan Mansion – a Grade 1 Listed stately home, thank you very much – and Netflix period drama hit shows Bridgerton and The Crown have both filmed there due to its historic magical vibes.
While Sarah and Dean's wedding has been described by fans as “awkward”, not least because Sarah admitted that she didn't want to rip her new husband's clothes off and got the ick after he rapped his vows to her. Sarah has since called critics of her behaviour “trolls” while Dean has released a statement thanking fans for their support.
“I just want to reach out and say thank you to everyone for all the overwhelming love and support from so many of you,” he said.
"I know the rap and the singing were a bit cringy, but I’m just a cringy guy, you know, I’m just being myself.
Well, that wasn't the best start…
"So that is me unfortunately, but you’ll see throughout the series like loads of things changed so do stay tuned. Do stay watching and of course let me know what you think of it all."
As well as hosting the drama in true style, North Mymms Park has been described in reviews as “without a doubt, the best wedding venue in London”, with the grounds described as “breathtaking”. Maybe the elite location can save Sarah and Dean's ultimately rocky start to marriage.
