Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - April/May 2020 (Issue 76)

heatherbirniephotography.co.uk Tie the knot in… SOUTH SOMERSET THE BARN AT COTT FARM 01935 864 211 cottfarmwedding.co.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? With stunning views across the Somerset countryside, The Barn at Cott Farm is nestled in informal grounds that are teeming with cottage-garden blooms. There’s a large lawn for outdoor games, and over a small footbridge is the venue’s camping field. The fire pit and wood-fired pizza oven make it perfect for al fresco entertaining. The barn itself combines rustic charm with style and comfort. The original doors open to reveal modern tri-folding glass doors, making the entrance flexible in all weathers. The wooden beams are strewn with fairylights, and the coir carpet, handmade wooden furniture and apple-crate bar offer a blank canvas for couples. Windows and skylights flood the space with sunshine during the day, while soft lighting provides a cosy ambience at night. LET’S CELEBRATE! Couples wishing to take their vows in the great outdoors can do so in front of a congregation of up to 150 under the majestic wooden pergola. For indoor ceremonies, the barn also holds up to 150 loved ones. In the evening, brides and grooms can invite up to 300 of their nearest and dearest to enjoy the whole building and grounds, complete with its large, canopied outdoor area. Venue hire includes exclusive use from the day before the wedding, making setting up a breeze. Packages include bespoke menus – from sharing platters to traditional three-course meals. WE LOVE… Guests will adore staying overnight in the luxury furnished bell tents before enjoying a full English breakfast in the morning. LOCAL VENUES 15 
