Lauren Sent on 26/11/2025Absolute Perfection
The Parlour at Blagdon was the perfect wedding venue for us. One of the things that first drew us in was how reasonable the autumn/winter pricing was — it opened up options we never expected to have, without compromising on anything. The layout was another huge selling point. Having the Ceremony Room, Stables Bar and Breakfast Room all surrounding the courtyard worked brilliantly. And with the hottest (temperature-wise!) groom in the world, having an easy way to pop outside and cool off was absolutely essential!
In the lead-up to the wedding, we had regular meetings and communication with the team. They were always professional, organised, honest and extremely helpful. If we ever had a question, they were quick to respond, and it always felt like everything was under control.
On the day, the staff were incredible — so calm, so efficient, and so reassuring. Everything ran like absolute clockwork from start to finish. Anne (I may need to double-check the name!) led the day with such confidence and experience that we instantly knew we were in safe hands. Instructions were clear, timings were spot on and they kept the whole show moving without ever once making us feel rushed.
The food was even better than our tasting day — and we loved the tasting! Portions were generous (especially the meat!), everything was piping hot and one of Lauren’s sisters said the food was “so good we didn’t deserve it.” All three courses were genuinely outstanding. In the evening we chose the woodfired pizzas, initially advertised as 90 minutes unlimited. We were a bit sceptical about whether guests would actually get enough, but the team went above and beyond — making pizzas to take away for guests who were too full to eat straight away. People went home delighted (and slightly wobbly) with boxes of wood-fired goodness.
If there was one comment from guests, it was that the bar prices were a little high — not unusual for a wedding venue and absolutely didn’t affect our experience. Everything else more than made up for it.
Our guests absolutely loved the venue. They said it was accessible (not miles into the countryside like some), beautifully decorated, and had that perfect balance of charm and practicality. The outdoor spaces were a huge hit too.
The staff went above and beyond throughout the day. When the cake started to topple, they consulted Lauren and quickly rearranged it next to the cake pops. When the stylist accidentally placed a few people in the wrong seats, the team corrected everything without fuss. And the next morning all of our items were boxed neatly and placed together ready for collection. Their efficiency took so much stress away from us.
The venue has evolved since we first booked — the new pizza shack and the updated bridal prep room were very welcome additions that lifted the space even more. Everything looked beautiful, worked perfectly for photographs, and felt polished without being pretentious.
Another huge relief was how well the Parlour coordinated with all our suppliers. They already had everyone’s details and led the communication. They’ve clearly worked with our photographers, magician and stylist many times before — everything flowed beautifully because the whole team were on the same wavelength.
For us, The Parlour is as close to a perfect venue as you can get.

All the things that could go wrong on a wedding day… none of them did. And we don’t believe that was luck — it was the incredible team at The Parlour keeping everything running flawlessly behind the scenes.
We would recommend this venue wholeheartedly to any couple. -

The perfect day!
We got married at The Parlour in August and we had the most perfect day! The venue is absolutely stunning and great value for money, especially with the newly added dressing room. We had excellent communication throughout the planning stage and staff were happy to answer all of my silly questions.
We were fortunate enough to stay the night before our wedding and staff were on hand for anything we needed. Our day ran absolutely seemlessly, Alison and her team could not have done more for us. They truly went above and beyond and yet didn’t seem to interfere with the day at all. Alison and her team were also around the following morning when we had breakfast to check everything had been ok and to help pack up.
I truly can’t recommend the parlour enough 🤍 -

It all went fantastically, just no one around the next morning to say thank you to, we were just left to carry out all our stuff. Would've been nice to finish the experience. -

I cannot recommend the Parlour highly enough as a wedding venue. The staff, the venue, the service, everything was just perfect! I want to give a special mention to Rosanne. She was absolutely wonderful and I cannot thank her enough for making our day run smoothly. I wish we could do it all over again -

Amy Sent on 13/06/2025Our Perfect Wedding
The Parlour at Blagdon was just right for our wedding. It was everything we were looking for and we knew straight away that this was the venue for us. It gave us such a cosy and magical feel.
But what truly made our day perfect was the amazing staff. They did more than we could ask for, showing great care and kindness. From easy planning to everything going smoothly on the day, every small part was handled with great attention. They knew what we needed, making our ideas come true with nice touches.
The food was absolutely delicious! Everyone loved every bite. After dinner, the party really got started, and we all danced the night away, making memories that will last forever.
Our guests were also very happy with the caring and friendly service. The Parlour at Blagdon isn't just a lovely place; it's where wishes come true, thanks to a team that really cares about making your day special. We truly suggest it for a wonderful experience. -
