Unique and Unusual Wedding Venues in South West - England

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 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!!

After sacking off all the stress & hassle of planning a big wedding we decided to book a secret elopement, just the two of us… and it couldn’t have gone any better! Little Silver Weddings is truly something special. From our first planning zoom call to the day we drove home as Mr & Mrs, Lisa & Peter were AMAZING! As someone who stresses & overthinks EVERYTHING, I can honestly say I have never had such a relaxed and happy day! Lisa is so warm and her wedding planning skills are wizardry! She really did think of everything! They have assembled the best team of local suppliers, who managed to create our dream day in just over 3 months!! Stunning flowers, delicious vintage style wedding cake (my dream!) and the most amazing evening meal - all enjoyed in the most gorgeous of locations! Not to mention the best photographer on the planet, who made the whole wedding photos experience so relaxed and fun. As an autumn wedding I was a little concerned for the weather but it held & we were able to be married outside in the Victorian Grotto, overlooking the Taw valley. Such a magical place to say ‘I do’. Another brilliant aspect of Little Silver was the built in mini-moon, meaning we could really relax and enjoy our first few days as a married couple. We chose to stay in one of the shepherds huts, which were warm, clean & beautifully curated - definitely a touch above glamping! We especially enjoyed having a glass of champagne in our hot tub. So if you are thinking of eloping then absolutely give Little Silver Weddings a call - you will not be disappointed!

Couldn’t have been a better day. Everything was magical from the beautiful room set up, to the delicious food and talented customer service. The event team were wonderful, helping us communicate with local suppliers and brought our vision to life. Truly a day of cherished memories that will last a life time.

We chose this venue because we wanted to serve traditional food that we enjoy at our wedding, and this was one of few places where we could have external caterers. The venue also included all the cutlery, crockery and tablecloths we needed, which other places didn’t provide. The hall is very versatile, with the ability to close bits off or open them up depending on the number of guests you have. It’s also very fresh and neutral decor-wise (apart from the coloured chairs), which makes it easy to decorate it to your taste. There is a garden to the rear, where we had some outdoor games for guests, as well as plenty of greenery to the front, where we took our wedding photos. The staff I communicated with were very friendly, and on hand to help the evening before the wedding, when the key to the room with the tablecloths didn’t work. I highly recommend this venue - it’s rare to find a place with capacity for 200 guests at this price point.

We were luckily enough to have our wedding reception at The Lost Gardens of Heligan in August 2022. It was absolutely perfect! The team at Heligan were fantastic and we really couldn’t fault a thing.

Lucy and her team made sure every aspect of our day was perfect. We were looked after the whole day and made to feel so special. The whole set up in the cave was beautiful and even better than I could have imagined. There was also a number of smaller touches that made the day even more perfect. I can't fault Lucy, she made everything faultless. If your looking for a slightly different but amazing venue then I recommend Wookey Hole!

Our teenager chose the venue as it is his favourite place. We were not disappointed. There's not many people who Cam say we got married next to a world war 2 Tank. They couldn't do enough for us, went above and beyond, you will not be disappointed. If you like the tank museum it's the place to get married! Will never forget our special day thanks to these guys.......
