Wedding Venues in Somerset

The batch country house is amazing place to get married. The owners, our wedding coordinator Abbie and staff made sure our day was magical and it ran so smoothly. If you’re looking for somewhere that has beautiful scenery, amazing food and staff then this is it. Our day was amazing and everyone had a fab time. We would highly recommend this place for your dream day ❤️ xx

We held our wedding here in early September and can only give Secret Valley the highest praise! We probably went into the 'full DIY wedding' set up a little naively as there is a lot to consider and organise, but the result was a fully bespoke wedding weekend with everything exactly how we wanted it. The site is stunning and so large that the possibilities seem endless. The majority of our guests stayed on site Friday - Sunday and we made full use of all the facilities on offer, we hosted pizza and quiz night in the Games Barn, a 5K park run, lake swimming, and were lucky that the weather held to have our ceremony and reception drinks down by the lake and oak tree. Lucy, Will and the team were super easy to communicate with throughout the year and on the week of the wedding were so helpful, particularly in receiving various deliveries onsite before we arrived. All of our guests commented on how unique the venue was, it really felt like a personal festival. We are so excited that we will be able to return to this special place in the future to remember our wedding.

Old oak farm where do I begin! This venue is beyond stunning! I have been watching old oak for a long time and couldn’t wait to see the venue. When we arrived the venue was still in building mode but we could see the potential from then and knew that was the perfect place for us to get married. The whole process has been easy, great communication and lots of support. We had a few meetings and each time the owners were lovely, really friendly and helpful, we spoke about what sort of things we wanted and Rebecca really helped us with ideas and offered us her props and decorations, we went through all the food options and running of the day, there were some many things to choose from which was lovely as I left feeling more together and organised. The day of the wedding the venue was just perfect, the set up was everything we had wanted and more. When I arrived the owners and staff were all there ready and willing to help. After the ceremony the staff were there being attentive giving out drinks and our canapés. We went off for photos but when we came back we had sliders presented to us which was a nice touch as I know sometimes the bride and groom can get forgotten whilst they aren’t there and there’s nothing left when they get back. Though out the day the staff were amazing always there to help but at the same time they were very discreet which again is another great attitude. We had a buffet style meal which was absolutely beautiful, as our meal was served Rebecca came with a separate plate for me (I hadn’t noted down my food preferences when I had done the other guests but Rebecca had picked up on it during our pre wedding conversations, which was a really lovely touch with a attention to detail). This happened again in the evening, we had homemade pizzas which my husband couldn’t have, the staff checked in with him asking if he wanted his separate order, he wasn’t ready so they checked in shortly after making sure he wasn’t forgotten and no one else got his dish. The venue was kept clean and tidy all day but again without us even knowing, the day ran like clockwork and Rebecca and her staff checked in making sure we were happy or needed anything though out the day. We had so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was, how attentive the staff were, how clean the venue was especially the toilets which everyone loved. As for the food everyone was so impressed, the vegetarians said it was nice that they received their food first because they often feel like an afterthought or forgotten. Everyone said it was the nicest wedding food they had ever had with lots of choice and variety and that there plenty of it. It was the same for the evening meal the fresh cooked pizzas cooked outside went down a treat. The night of the wedding we stayed at the venue, again there was so much attention to detail in the room, lovely robes and mr and Mrs cups, bubbly, biscuits and strawberries then croissants for breakfast and the quaint Little lodge was tucked out of the way and just beautiful. The following morning the staff and cleaned up and packed all our stuff up making it really easy for us to pack up. We had such an amazing day, it was everything we wanted and more and that’s all thanks to old oak farm and their amazing staff, we can not thank you enough for being so attentive and amazing, we wouldn’t have wanted to have our wedding anyway else it was just perfect, you should be very proud of what you have created and the work you do. Old oak is absolutely stunning with its pure attention to detail it really is beautiful. The communication, support and flexibility has been spot on. On the day we were well looked after, the staff were brilliant, there but discreet, very friendly and approachable, great customer care. The venue was beautiful, so clean and tidy all day, the toilet received lots of compliments about how nice they were as well as always clean. The whole process has been a breeze, I really enjoyed planning our wedding with old oak farm, I really lovely, unforgettable experience.

My and my husband could not of asked for a better wedding day, everyone went above and beyond to make sure it was perefct, which it was ( just wish we could control the heat wave) Everyone was so helpful, welcoming always there at the end of the phone or email. We will be back to stay and rememeber our day over and over.

We could not have been happier with our wedding experience! Kirsty was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. We initially had some reservations about the sale of the venue in December, but we cannot stress enough—don’t let that deter you! Kirsty and her team stepped in seamlessly, ensuring clear, prompt communication and answering every question with ease. The venue itself was breathtaking and perfect in every way. All our guests couldn’t stop raving about it, which speaks volumes! The staff on duty struck the perfect balance between professionalism and a laid-back, approachable attitude—it truly elevated the atmosphere of our day. We also collaborated with several amazing vendors, including Shell Lawrence Photography, The IOUs, Dough Bros (Taunton), and Fiona from Candy Bees Event Hire. Thanks to their teamwork and smooth communication, our wedding day went off without a hitch. We highly recommend this venue and team for anyone planning their special day!

25/09/25 - found Priston mill on Hitched - it was the first place we viewed and booked straight away! We didn’t view anywhere else. The place is gorgeous, very reasonably priced and all the staff were amazing. We were assigned a coordinator who was with us during the planning meeting, the set up and the day (Johanna!) and she was so friendly and helpful and made everything super easy! Priston mill were quick to respond and have everything thought of and just get things done taking all stress away. We were so impressed with the space and they collaborate well with all vendors making everything come together nicely. The waiters were friendly and professional. The food was glorious and had many compliments (thank you chef!). Would fully fully recommend!!

Working backwards - on reflection, this was such a brilliant event. Made possible by all the excellent staff behind the scenes and Kate and Darcy who were always front and centre of it all. Such a help for us throughout the planning and execution. On the day, they acted with perception filters on - I knew they were always there, but never in your face. So helpful and kind. They were also helpful with the choice of singer and cake provide - both of which were excellent too. Tom Carpenter was fabulous before and during the event - such a showman. We were looked after from the point we arrived - we stayed the night before and had Sunday lunch - amazing! And the breakfasts were fabulous. Then there's the spa facilities which were also great. Such a great time, which will always hold fond memories in our hearts...

We viewed Taunton School as a possible venue, and the minute we saw the Old Library and the grounds, we were absolutely happy to book. What solidified it was the price. We paid just over £4k for use of the Old Library for our ceremony and reception, as well as an afternoon tea buffet, a bbq in the evening, and the DJ and disco for the evening. The communication back and forward was fantastic. They are still a school first so you can expect a day or two to pass inbetween emails, but the planning process was made so much easier by the incredible staff. Mel was brilliant throughout. Anything I could think of, she would do her best to make it happen. The day before we were given access to decorate our tables. The staff had already got the tables dressed with linen and crockery with the correct number of seats based on our table plan. Mel went through the music with us and tested their speaker with us the day before as well so we were all good to go. The day itself flew by, but was fantastic. The staff were all so amazing and lovely. They worked so hard to make sure we were all comfortable and loving the day. I actually had a bit of a sore throat on the day, the lovely staff kept bringing me camomile tea to help soothe it. The food was incredible. It was soooo tasty. We had leftover cake here for days afterwards, and it was still just as enjoyable as on the day. There was so much to choose from. The catering team they have there deserve awards! The BBQ in the evening again was delicious! The chefs and team were all so friendly and approachable. If you are looking for a wedding venue on a bit more of a budget, but still wanting that dream wedding experience, absolutely give Taunton School a chance. You will not regret it!

We loved our wedding at Walton Park. It was great value for money, is in the most wonderfully scenic location and we were able to tailor our own package. The staff were efficient and friendly and kept in constant contact and Kat was so wonderfully helpful. We were able to provide our own decor which the team laid out beautifully. Everything went completely without a hitch and all of our guests commented on what a fabulous day it was.
