Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - January/February 2021 (Issue 29)

DREAMCATCHERS These fairytale venues look simply magical FRIEDA AND THE MOON, NR LOOE, CORNWALL Nestled in a 13-acre smallholding in the beautiful Cornish countryside in an unspoilt natural environment famed for its dark skies and star-gazing is this venue that has been purposefully designed for small weddings. The Studio, a unique oak-framed building with far-flung views across the rolling countryside down a hidden valley towards the sea, features an Italianate ceiling and a spectacular Ocean Window which is a celebration of the Cornish seas in stained glass. The wrap-around balcony and three tiers of circular lawns offer endless photo opportunities. Couples can spend two or three nights in one of the two lavishly styled luxury romantic escapes lovingly named the Tabernacle and the Observatory , each with a wood-burning fire, chiminea and hot tub plus sumptuous bedding and fluffy white towels. Ceremonies take place in The Studio filled with fresh flowers and evening ceremonies by candlelight can also be conducted. Small receptions can also be accommodated here and in its surroundings. There are also several ceremony locations outside including by the Dreamcatcher Gate, a powder-blue structure decorated with sparkling crystals, in The Hornbeam Circle, an illuminated woodland altar located in the woods lit with candles and fairylights at twilight or in the surrounding woodland or by the springs and streams. Coming soon in 2021 is The Bower House, a cosy, candlelit wooden retreat space for small ceremonies and surprise proposals. Small reception options include a vintage high tea with homemade sandwiches and cakes served on vintage crockery with antique linens, and a champagne breakfast hamper.
