April shower wedding

We fell in love with the venue from the moment we saw it. We booked our wedding a year in advance to give ourselves plenty of time to plan and prepare everything. During this time the Parlour made quite a few upgrades and it was lovely to watch the venue bloom.
Our wedding day was on a very wet April Wednesday, which meant a few things had to be tweaked last minute and the staff were amazing about this.
We can honestly say this was the best day of our lives and everything went seamlessly despite the weather.
All the staff we meet at our meetings and on our special day were amazing. We had so many guests commenting on what a beautiful day it was and how fabulous the food was throughout the day.

Thank you so much to everyone at The Parlour!

Absolutely Outstanding!

We had our wedding here on 18.05.24. All the staff were superb, from helping us plan the day, answering all our questions, all the way to the organisation on the day! Massive shout out to Naomi, Rosanne & Max. Lush people, lush food, lush venue! 🧡

09/02/24 - Our Wedding Day

Where do I start... from originally booking our wedding for 09/11/24 to pulling it forward to 09/02/24 with around 4 months notice, it was perfect & everything that we could've asked for.

The communication between the sales team and ourselves was second to none, they were always on hand, responding to emails (a special shoutout to Naomi).

The venue was so rustic in itself, you didn't really have to do much to it as you would a hotel or something similar, it's already so naturally beautiful. The converted 'Smithy' held such a special place in our hearts, meaning before we even went to view the venue, we were already set on booking and having our day there.

The food was tremendous, our guests absolutely loved our menu choices and loved them even more on the day when they got to sit down & have it served to them. The whole day was just as we'd imagined. A side note on breakfast the next day for guests that stayed overnight, again was beautiful & great quality.

The venue as a whole was tidy, clean, exactly as you'd expect. The bridal suite was spacious and I loved the fact you had a separate bathroom which again was very spacious.

We absolutely loved our day, like most we'd do it again in a heartbeat & I'd honestly say if you're considering the Parlour, look no further.

Thank you so much for everything!

The Newlyweds,

Mr & Mrs Thompson

The Most Magical Winter Wedding in a Perfect Venue

Our winter wedding at the Parlour was simply perfect! The venue is gorgeous anyway but with snow on the ground and the Christmas trees all lit up for our wedding on the 2nd December, it looked even more magical. What makes the venue extra special however, is not the fixtures and fittings, or the delicious food, but the amazing team! From Naomi and the team in the sales office, to everyone who looked after us on the day, to the fabulous Roseanne our Master of Ceremonies, they could not be faulted. So attentive, so caring - world class hospitality!

The Parlour at Blagdon


The Parlour at Blagdon was the perfect venue for our mid afternoon wedding which continued on until midnight. The staff were amazing, attending to our every need and they made sure the day went smoothly. We had meetings with the Parlour staff leading up to the date, this allowed us to customise events and to make sure everything was set to plan. The venue is a welcoming and relaxing place to enjoy your day with guests using the three indoor areas and the courtyard outside. The picturesque grounds provide photo opportunities at every turn. We would definitely recommend this venue for weddings.

Perfect day

We had the best day celebrating our wedding at The Parlour!! Straight away from our first viewing the staff were all lovely and professional, all the little details were considered and everything went so smoothly on the day. So many guests commented on how beautiful the venue is and the lovely relaxed feel. They were very accommodating with any requests such as dietary requirements and liaised directly with suppliers so we didn’t need to worry about anything.

Such a perfect day!

The Parlour was the only venue we viewed and as soon as we walked in we knew it was the one. All of the staff were really friendly and we felt we could ask any questions and tailor the day completely to how we wanted it without any fixed package or set costs. It is truly beautiful and needs very little decoration. All of our guests were blown away on the day. A huge thank you to Rosanne who was our MOC and was honestly just perfect. She put us totally at ease and made the whole thing run seamlessly - it couldn't have been less stressful. We would 100% recommend the venue. From staying in the cottage the night before, waking up and having hair and make up in the bridal suite and the ceremony and reception - the whole thing was stunning from start to finish.

Couldn’t recommend more!

Me and my husband got married at the parlour on the 2nd March. From booking, to the wedding and beyond the whole team have been amazing, they did everything they could to meet our needs and exceeding our expectations. All of our guests were thoroughly impressed and couldn’t compliment the staff and the venue enough. The food was beautiful and the service was impeccable. A beautiful wedding venue and we couldn’t recommend them enough for any occasion

A dream wedding

The staff at the Parlour have been so flexible and supportive from start to finish. Our wedding Package in Feb included everything we needed and everyone had such a great time. It's all very professional, yet elegant and laid back, all in one!

The Parlour

My husband and I were married at the Parlour 01/11/2022 and had the most fabulous and stress free day! This venue was the first and only venue we visited and within the first 5 minutes of stepping through the door we had both given each other the “this is the one” face! The place has a very rustic feel and is gorgeous without decoration! The whole process from start to finish was made so easy and despite us only starting plans 9 weeks in advance it was made to seem effortless - just how we like it! I could not pick one fault with the day, the staff were so welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble (our MoC Becca in particular was so lovely - I felt like I had an instant best friend at my side despite having no friends attending at all!) On that note, we had a very intimate family wedding (only 18 guests) - we thought we would struggle to fill the space only having a small amount of guests but it worked perfectly. The food was beautiful, and the recommended suppliers we used (The Little Flower House & resident DJ) were also fantastic! 100% recommend.
