YOUR OWN PRIVATE ESTATE. EXCLUSIVELY YOURS FOR THE WEEKEND .

Forget everything you think you know about wedding venues.

You're not simply booking a beautiful place to get married. You're taking over a private 30-acre estate where family and friends can gather for several unforgettable days to celebrate, relax and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Whether it's welcome drinks in our village pub, exchanging vows beside the lake or in a beautiful historic church, dining beneath the tropical canopy of the Glass House, dancing late into the evening in The Hut, or sharing breakfast together the following morning, every moment is exclusively yours.

Welcome to ANRÁN.

At ANRÁN we specialise in fully exclusive, multi-day wedding weekends, giving you the freedom to celebrate without feeling rushed.

Instead of trying to fit everything into a single day, imagine welcoming your guests on Friday, having the full day to celebrate your wedding on Saturday, then spending Sunday relaxing around the estate before saying goodbye on Monday.

For couples seeking the ANRÁN experience on a more intimate scale, we also offer carefully curated one-day midweek celebrations.

RAN BY PEOPLE WHO'VE DONE THIS BEFORE:

ANRÁN is privately owned and personally run by its two founders, Edwin and Mike, not managed by a hospitality group, and not staffed by rotating contractors. Every booking is overseen by people who have spent their careers operating at the highest levels of international hospitality and brand production, and who bring that same standard to every event hosted here.

PRVACY AS STANDARD:

ANRÁN is offered on an exclusive-use basis only.

When you book the estate, it is entirely yours , no other guests, no public access, no risk of being seen or photographed by anyone outside your group.

NDAs are available on request for events requiring additional discretion. This same standard extends to the Live & Let Live Pub, ANRÁN's sister building a short walk from the main estate, available for private hire alongside the main property for events that call for a second, distinct space.

A Venue That Truly Feels Like Yours

ANRÁN is truly a one-of-a-kind wedding venue, and booking it was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. Mike and Edwin were so welcoming, and from our very first enquiry, they made us feel like ANRÁN was ours for the weekend.

Throughout the planning process, we worked closely with Melissa who was an absolute gem – so organised, responsive, and genuinely lovely. Nothing was ever too much trouble.

As a dry-hire venue, ANRÁN gave us the freedom to make the space completely our own, and it allowed us to create a wedding that felt truly personal. Their recommended suppliers are top notch, but they were also really accommodating when we brought in a few of our own.

One of the best things was being there from Thursday to Sunday – we got properly stuck into the setup and were able to enjoy extra time with our guests on both the Friday and Sunday. It made the whole weekend feel so special and not rushed.

If you’re considering ANRÁN for your wedding – book it. You won’t regret it.

The best venue

We genuinely couldn’t have chosen a more perfect place for our wedding. From the moment we first visited ANRAN, we completely fell in love with it, but somehow the wedding weekend itself exceeded everything we had imagined.

There is something so incredibly special about the way ANRAN feels. It is obviously beautiful, but it is so much more than just a beautiful venue. Over the course of the weekend it genuinely felt like our own little world, filled with all of our favourite people. The whole team make you feel like part of a family and, by the end of the weekend, that is exactly what it felt like. Everyone was so warm, kind and genuinely invested in making the weekend everything we wanted it to be.

One of our favourite memories was the walk from the church back towards the venue after the ceremony, with all of our friends and family making their way together through the countryside. There was something so simple and joyful about it — everyone chatting, laughing and taking everything in before carrying on the celebrations. It perfectly captured what we loved so much about having our wedding there; nothing felt rushed or overly structured, it just felt warm, relaxed and completely magical.

Every part of ANRAN added something different to the weekend. The glamping was amazing and made having so many of our friends staying with us feel like such an experience in itself. Waking up the next morning with everyone still there and the celebrations continuing onto Sunday was so special. The Glasshouse was just unbelievable — seeing it completely transformed for our wedding was one of those moments we will never forget. It created the most incredible setting for the day and then became the most amazing space to party in at night.

And it really is the entire team who make ANRAN what it is. From the people helping us throughout the planning and the weekend itself, to the sound and lighting supplier (Shaun) who completely transformed the spaces and created the most incredible atmosphere, everyone was exceptional. There are so many moving parts behind a wedding that you don't necessarily see as a guest, and the whole team made everything feel completely seamless.

We were given so much freedom to make the weekend feel personal to us, while always knowing there was an amazing team around us if we needed anything. It never felt like we were simply having our wedding at a venue; it felt like we had been welcomed into somewhere incredibly special.

We have had so many guests tell us it was one of the most beautiful and special weddings they have ever been to, and so much of that is down to ANRAN and the people behind it. We honestly wish we could do the entire weekend all over again. ANRAN and the team there will always feel a little bit like family to us, and it will forever be one of our favourite places.

The best venue ever

ANRAN was special from the start, and we fell in love with it almost immediately after our first and last scoping visit.
Mike, Edwin Melissa are a dream team with highly recommended vendors who are familiar with the vnue.
The setting, the customization you can do to make your day special was incomparable to other venues we had seen and their restrictive contract on what companies you can hire.
The overall venue flow and options (e.g. Glass House, Lily Pond, Plant House, Glamping, The Orchard and more) give you the ability to mix and match, almost creating a music festival out of your wedding!
Because the venue is so beautifully managed, you don't even need to spend that much on flowers and decor which was a HUGE plus!
Our family members and friends were in awe with the set up - especially those coming in from London, when they saw The Hut for the after party, they even said that it felt like they were in some underground rave in London :)

Fantastic dream wedding

The Anran team are fantastic from start to finish. The site comes in fantastic shape from the amazing glasshouse to the beautiful rooms in the farm house and the courtyard. There is an array of further options and rooms to use and a massive handpicked list of suppliers that they provide who know the site inside out and provide everything you need for the dream day. The church is super pretty and just a short walk away and the Vicar is also amazing. Thanks guys!

The best wedding venue in the UK

You don’t get better than this. Unique, surrounded by green / nature and such lovely people to partner with when having your big day. All of our guests have said how amazing the ANRAN is and we had the best time in the world. High recommend.

Wonderful winter wedding


We had the most amazing time at Anran for our winter wedding in November. The settings are all beautiful without being formal - the lovely Plant House for fizz and canapes, the striking Glass House for the romantic candlelit wedding breakfast and the quirky yet cosy Hut for dancing the night away.
Thanks to all the professional but friendly team at Anran for making our wedding so wonderful 😊
Cannot recommend enough. We love this special place ❤️

Our magical wedding at Anran

I can’t even begin to describe how Anran made our wedding dreams come true. Everything from start to finish was completely amazing. Sharon was an absolute star, and we loved everything about the venue so much, our guests couldn’t believe how beautiful it was and our family who were able to stay onsite for the whole weekend had the most amazing weekend of their lives.

The glass house - if you are looking for a venue to have your wedding breakfast that is better than Kew Gardens, choose the glass house. It’s surrounded my plants and greenery and in the evening you can watch the sunset from the glass roof. Heaters available to hire so it stays nice and warm, and plenty of space for dinner , dancing and bar

Plant room - this was such a unique place to have our ceremony, from the plants to the carp, our guests loved this and it looked so great in photos,

The hut - or as our guests called it, the ‘rave cave’. We had a beautiful quiz night in here on the Friday, and then had an ‘after party’ in here on the Saturday - it was perfect for both.

The professionalism - Sharon is the most wonderful human being, I absolutely loved her and she did everything to make our weekend special, I am so grateful for her!

In summary, this venue couldn’t be more perfect. I have the best memories which will stay with me forever. Thank you so much team at Anran!

Nothing was too much for them. Was my absolute dream wedding. All my guests can now see why we travelled do hours! Wouldn't have had it any where else.
I can not speak highly enough of any of the team. Absolutely incredible. Used alot of local vendors, including Cru events for catering- out of this world. Dis2go- Shaun, pure gentlemen, seamless sound tech and disco. Hannah, Hannah Barnes photography, Hugh- flowmotion studios - incredible masters at their work! Toni Gogola- hair wizard, From the wild florist- Alice, incredible talent. Konradi cake Devine flavours and great talent at creating your vision. Virginia vintage hire, the natural hire company.

Perfect Wedding Venue for a Wedding Weekend

Beautifully professional

ANRÁN was everything that we could have hoped for and more for our wedding in August. From the moment we first went to view this venue to the arrival of our big day, everything was handled seamlessly and with utmost attention to detail.

Mile and Edwin are passionate about what ANRÁN provides and we were overwhelmed by their kindness and advice throughout the planning process. Sharon, the manager, was totally fantastic and on hand over our wedding weekend for any last minute printing of speeches or guidance.

The venue is out of this world. The Glass House is the show stopper but the journey you and your guests will go on takes you in and around stunning locations. From the church to the Lily Pond, meandering up the the courtyard before being wowed by the foliage as you have your wedding breakfast.

All of the suppliers at ANRÁN are brilliant and made our day stress free. We feel hehe lucky to have had our wedding there.

Most amazing place and people

Michael and Edwin were the hosts with the most! Everything from toiletries in our bathrooms to the dinner and party hut was impeccable and with so much thought. Our guests had nothing but praises for the venue and the wonderful people who operate the business. They went all out to make our wedding anniversary such a memorial one that we think we won’t be able to replicate another awesome event like this ever. And a shout-out to our caterer Cru Events who pull out all the stops to feed our clients over three days with such amazing grub! From the fish and chips at the welcome dinner on the day of arrival, to the superbly delicious dinner on the anniversary dinner party, to post dinner dance party snacks, to the visually stunning spread of salads and sides to accompany the spit-roast pig lunch on the third day - the careful curated menus and execution were just SPOT-ON! My guests were so well fed! We couldn’t ask for a better caterer than Hayley from Cru Events! ❤️

A truly magical and unique wedding venue for the wedding of your dreams!!

I don’t even know where to begin because Anran is truly magical. We had our dream wedding and it was all made possible by the unique and breathtaking use of different spaces around the farm as well as from Mike, Edwin and the incredible team from Anran and a huge thanks to Hayley from Cru too!

It was everything we could have ever imagined and the flexibility to create your own unique wedding was one of the draws (as well as the breathtakingly beautiful glasshouse!) Our guests still say it’s the best wedding they have ever been too and how fun it was to have a journey from our wedding blessing in the plant house, to courtyard drinks around the Christmas tree to an incredible feast in the glasshouse, to partying the night away in the hut!
Accommodation on site was a non negotiable when planning for us, and Anran is a venue that has it all, the accommodation is so luxurious and beautiful with such a homely feel (we stayed twice before our wedding we loved it so much!). It was the icing on the wedding cake to get to celebrate a whole weekend with our loved ones.
Anran will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we hope to come back and visit soon too ❤️

Amazing Venue that stands out from the rest

We can’t quite believe it’s already been over a week, since our wedding at Anran. Thanks to Mike Edwin and the team, it was such a great weekend! We are so happy to have found this gorgeous venue and we had so many amazing comments from our guests who were stunned by Anran itself.
We were so pleased that the weather allowed us to use the full potential of the amazing grounds and create such a unique weekend for us!
The accommodation is amazing and truly luxurious as well!

As many of the other reviews state if there was an option for more than 5 stars I would have used it!

Thank you Anran!

It really felt like home!

We had our wedding at ANRAN over the bank holiday weekend and it was perfect in every way. Mike & and his team, and Hayley and her team at CRU catering, made sure every detail was taken care of and looked after us like family. We had our family and friends stay on site in the house and barns and every single person commented on how relaxed they felt, how well taken care of they were and how stunning the place was. As bride and groom, we felt the same way and it was so special to be able to host everyone in such a relaxed way. It really felt like home!
The wedding day was incredible. We used so many different areas of the venue - the lily pond, the courtyard, the glasshouse, the hut and the fire pit - and each area was beautiful and full of character in its own way.
ANRAN is a very special place. We knew it was the perfect place to hold our wedding, but it exceeded all our expectations. We can't wait to come back and stay again! Thank you!

We fell in love with ANRAN...

We fell in love with ANRÁN as soon as we came to visit as it was exactly what we had in mind for the weekend-long
celebration we wanted for our wedding. Rather than have the celebrations over in a day, we wanted a place that we could truly relax and spend time with friends and family for several days. Mike, Edwin and their team were so supportive over the whole process and allowed (and encouraged) us to be creative (thanks for letting us out a boat full of ice and champagne bottles in the glasshouse!).  
Their attention to every detail is coupled with laid-back attitude that made us feel instantly welcome and at home. We had the time to enjoy every part of the house, stylish barns and grounds over the weekend, and our guests loved the atmosphere and setting overlooking the
beautiful South Devon hills.  Our one regret is not booking a couple more days afterwards to unwind after everyone else had gone home...
We’d recommend ANRAN and Tidwell Farm to anyone in a heartbeat: The beds are insanely comfortable, the rooms are beautifully decorated to hotel standards, and Mike and Edwin are the perfect hosts. Thank you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
