Wedding Venues in South West - England

We cannot thank you engough!!! From the moment of making our first enquiry with Tracey, being shown around and answering our questions, booking our wedding, and throughout our stay it’s been amazing from start to finish... The venue is amazing with stunning views across the rolling Devon hills, the fantastic on site accommodation and what can we say about the purpose built new barn, but wow, this needs to be seen to be beleived!!! We have had so many lovely comments from our family and guest who stayed and joined us for our wedding day, about Country Ways and the whole team. The country ways family and team go way above and beyond to help in every way possible, They seem to maigically make the whole process and day so stress free, How they do it, we are unsure, they make it look so effortless. As a previous reveiwer said, Tracey was like a little fairy god mother, and we could not agree more.... she is amazing and should be so proud of what she and the family have created.. There was not one thing we would change and if we could do it all again, we would ! Thank you so much for making our day so special!! Helen & Jon x

The white barn was magical! Ash (wedding planner) and his team made our day run smoothly, we didn't have to lift a finger or worry about anything. All we had to do was enjoy and create memories! We used the white barn for catering, the food was absolutely lovely, we had so much they boxed it up for us/guest to take home! The venue itself is incredible! The barn is opened planned and so big. We used the upstairs area for the children, so they could chill, play board games. The grounds of the white barn- we got married in the meadow, big open area surrounded by fields, they also have the lake (across the road) we had pictures taken there. It's such a lovely venue. We will be visiting as much as we can to there cafe and grounds.

This was the venue of our dreams! Gail was fantastic, always happy to help with our many questions and walked us through everything we needed to know. The grounds are stunning and it was such a privilege to be able to wander around - locations for beautiful photos are endless! The barn is gorgeous, the lounge area upstairs was brilliant for our guests who wanted a rest and the toilets are beautifully decorated! As soon as we arrived, we knew Hinton was the one!

A massive thank you to Ed, family and all the team at Starlings for making our wedding day absolutely perfect! Ed really went above and beyond to make sure our special day was everything we hoped it could be (and more!). From the get go, Ed was incredibly accommodating and flexible - working with us to understand our vision and customise the venue, whilst designing bespoke food and cocktail menus for nearly a hundred people. The whole team were absolutely phenomenal and the venue is so versatile - seamlessly transitioning from summer cocktail reception, to restaurant, to party vibes. The food and drinks were delicious, the service exemplary and all our guests left happy and singing Starlings praises! We cannot thank you enough and look forward to seeing you all (including Jeffrey) soon! Jess & Sol

Wow! Where do I start?! We had the most amazing wedding reception at Old Oak Farm in October 2023. Rebecca, Andy and their team are just the loveliest people. They are friendly, professional, efficient, organised and creative. Communication is absolutely fantastic - I really felt that Rebecca and I were on the same page during the wedding planning process. Rebecca is full of great ideas and suggestions, and her amazing experience in and knowledge of the wedding industry is expansive and so helpful when planning your big day. We actually booked Old Oak Farm as our reception venue before the barn had even been constructed! But we weren't at all nervous about this - we had full confidence in Rebecca and Andy's vision, and oh, what a vision it has become! The lovely, big glass paneled doors let in so much gorgeous natural Somerset light, and offer expansive views across the breathtaking countryside. The barm has lovely, high ceilings which make it feel light and airy, but not echo-y and the building retains a cosy feel at all times of the day. The massive, gorgeous fireplace is a focal point and the perfect canvas for your own decor and creativity to run wild. The dancefloor (which doubles up as the indoor ceremony area) is a great size - it never looked empty during our reception, but at the same time you weren't crammed in. The barn is decorated beautifully in a rustic style. We added a few of our own touches decor wise, but honestly you could host an event in this barn just the way it is and it would look stunning. The bar is another stunning feature of the venue, and is very well stocked! Rebecca even ordered in some pumpkin spiced rum specially to suit the autumnal pumpkin theme of our wedding. Outside, the grounds are beautifully manicured, clean and tidy without being overdone. Plenty of parking for your guests, and a handful of quirky Shepherd's Huts as well which can be rented for the night by guests. I believe that during the summer the venue also allows guests to camp, but I am a little hazy on that detail so it would be worth double checking. There are loads of beautiful spots (both inside and out) that make for gorgeous photographs (and our amazing photographers, James and Kerrie of James and Kerrie Photography took full advantage of these!), including an amazing secret garden that is lit up at night! The front of house staff on the day were all amazing - all turned out very smartly, smiles on their faces and only too happy to help. The food was absolutely top-notch - fresh, local, seasonal and cooked beautifully. We had a few special dietary requirements amongst our guests and these were met and catered for with zero issues. Rebecca and Andy were very flexible about us bringing in a couple of external suppliers, such as ParTee Time Mini Golf, and a DJ, Ben Prescott, to provide entertainment for our guests, and a coach at the end of the night to transport guests back to nearby North Curry and Taunton. I could honestly go on for pages and pages about why this stunning venue is so special and incredible! But I'm just going to round it off by saying that my husband and I and our families were blown away by the beauty of the venue and the service received from the very first enquiry via email, all the way though to the morning after the wedding. You will not regret hosting your wedding here. If you are looking for a rustic, countryside feel to your big day, then please reach out to Rebecca - you will not be disappointed!

Karmacations is an absolute dream - we are so pleased we chose here to get married. The place itself is beautiful and tranquil - picture perfect. Kitty, the owner is the most wonderful lady to have on board to support you with your wedding. Her knowledge of events and want to make everything perfect for you is beyond what we had hoped and she really helped make our day the dream we had envisioned. We had the most perfect day at Karmacations, it was everything we had dreamed it would be and we were so glad to have chosen this venue. All the stars!

We were lucky enough to get married at Caerhays in May 2024. From the moment we booked, we knew it was right, breathtaking views of the beach and the castle, what more could you ask for!? We also had Jen who coordinated our big day, she was amazing and made sure everything ran smoothly. We highly recommend Caerhays as a wedding venue, you won’t regret it!

We saw this place online searching for an elopement venue and through photos alone felt like it was very us so we gambled and booked it without a visit to secure the date. The venue, accommodation, beautiful bouquets and button holes created by Babs, a visit from figgy the owl and all the details in between were better than we could have imagined. They call it an exquisite tiny wedding and it was just that! The venue is so quaint, unique and charming from the wallpapered ceilings, stain glass windows, vast country views to the scented candles and beautiful furniture and design details throughout the property. It was the most beautiful back drop for our special day. The place is a very artistic, expressive, elegant and fun space. We also enjoyed a very delicious and thoughtfully put together champagne hamper breakfast to start off the morning and the jacuzzi and unpolluted night skies were a bonus to end a gorgeous day. As a worrier and the bride (who had little to no sleep the night prior for nerves) somehow managed minimal anxiety that morning. I felt like everything was on track and I didn’t need to worry thanks to Babs, Perla and Joe who were all so on hand and helpful. They made us and our family and friends feel very welcomed and relaxed and were very much part of the party; even their cute little dachshund named coco came to say a very polite hello. The most magical part of all was our return for the hand fastening ceremony at twilight. We were provided a lantern and so as the sun was setting we took a romantic walk through some fields before entering the woodland where we spotted the twinkling hornbeam circle lit up by fairy lights and candles. It was very romantic. We were very happy and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a small wedding or indeed to elope. For us, it was near enough a perfect place to become husband and wife.

I’ve followed the Negus journey at Cotswold airport since it began. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d be able to hold our wedding reception on it!! It was an out of this world incredible evening. From meeting Amy on day one to the main event she was amazing and couldn’t have done more to help us plan our dream evening. On the evening, she went above and beyond in taking care of us making sure we were all having the best time. The Dj setup to the lighting rigs and all the original features still onboard, Negus has been restored beautifully and all our guests were in awe. Anyone that loves aviation, this is a must!!

The Stennack Farm team made the 2 years of wedding planning so worth it and we had the most incredible day of our lives. Our wedding was a fusion of Cornish and Welsh guests with 65% of the guest list visiting from the Welsh valleys. So many were excited to see “true Cornwall” and Stennack Farm helped us to provide this to our guests. The venue is light; airy & so spacious for any couples wedding plans to run wild & that’s exactly what we were able to do with Tompkins fest. The accommodation on site was perfect for our Welsh contingency include elderly grandparents and newborns who could enjoy the day and still have an afternoon nap. The back lawn was used for our ceremony and allowed guests and kids to laze out in the evening on the hay bales. The court yard was the ultimate mingling area where we hosted beer pong tournament, rattlers in the sun & able to open the venue doors to hear the music from the dj. The big lawn was ideal for our humungous photo list and the kids enjoyed the playground with the swing set making some great candid pictures. These elements and spaces allowed the guests to not feel to far away from the main building but also allow groups to have their own areas and our guests to have different viewpoints across the day. The venue feels so secluded and private making any big wedding feel intimate. The staff were on hand all day to help the guests and bride and groom with whatever we needed and helping us with suggestions or managing any problems and time delays! Would recommend again and again, mainly to be a guest at our own venue would be quite the fun experience!
