Accessible wedding venue and accommodation - would you be interested?

Name changed for this one. I have a severe physical disability so trying to find suitable holiday accommodation is quite a challenge. I need hoists, shower beds etc. A lot of my friends are in a similar position but I wanted to post here to get some wider opinions.

For ages, I've dreamt of opening the UK's first fully accessible wedding venue and glamping site. The wedding part stems from how difficult I found finding a wedding venue that was actually accessible (not entering through the kitchen, honeymoon suite actually useable). This wouldn't just be great if the bride and/or groom had access needs but their guests too. Then there would be luxury cabins to stay in, either as part of the wedding or just separately. The cabins would be for more romantic retreats. There's quite a lot of accessible accommodation out there for families with disabled children so I'd want to tap into an under-served group. I'd also put a real focus on interacting with nature but obviously in an accessible way.

So if you were the target market, would this be somewhere you would go?

Yes I would - sounds like a great idea. The only question I have is around the cabins - would they be let put to others while a wedding was going on?

No, I don't think it would be fair on either lot of guests to be there at the same time. My thinking was I would open the site to regular booking six months in advance if there are no weddings booked. I was contemplating offering intimate budget weddings during weekday daytimes for those that can't or don't want to pay for premium weekend weddings. Then there may be other guests.
