Your Devon & Cornwall Wedding - May/June 2019 (Issue 19)

THEMED VENUES 31 HENDRA BARNS, NEWQUAY, CORNWALL This collection of three converted barns nestled in the Cornish countryside offer couples an exclusive-use lakeside setting, with a hand-crafted wooden arbour for outdoor civil ceremonies that has an adjoining arbour marquee seating up to 50 guests (the arbour itself can seat up to 20 loved ones). There’s the option to hire a larger marquee from Absolute Canvas, which will provide a structure to seat as many guests as required. The Hendra Barn Conservatory, with its wall-to-ceiling windows, is a picturesque indoor space for a civil ceremony. A marquee can be erected on the patio just outside to allow for an additional dining area, and there’s ample space in the grounds on the landscaped lawn overlooking the lake for a reception marquee or tipi to be hired from Absolute Canvas, World Inspired Tents or The Really Good Marquee Company. These can also attach to the function room (which seats up to 70 guests) to add an additional 30 people, totalling 100. Up to 120 evening guests can also be catered for. Ceremony licence?

MIDDLE COOMBE FARM, TIVERTON, DEVON Couples wanting a woodland wedding in a luxury marquee should consider this picturesque venue on the edge of Exmoor set within its own valley of over 700 acres of woodland, meadows and rolling Devonshire countryside. Privately owned and run, it offers legal and non-legal ceremonies on-site. Legal ceremonies can be conducted under the old cider press in the traditional thatched Cider Barn or in the Grade II listed farmhouse lounge or library, while couples can choose from a wide range of areas for non-legally binding ceremonies including under the ancient oak tree deep in the heart of the woods, or at the stone circle in the meadow. Catering for up to 100 guests, the wedding breakfast can be enjoyed in the luxury marquee overlooking this meadow. Smaller wedding feasts can be held in either the Cider Barn or in the farmhouse kitchen. Each wedding party can enjoy full use of this historic farmhouse accommodation for up to 20 guests, when combined with the adjacent Allensdown Barn, ideal for those wanting loved ones to stay for a weekend. For the newlyweds, there’s a glamping hut located in the meadow. Ceremony licence?
